Collectors Proof Launches Nation-wide 'Clean Up Counterfeits' Program

BUFFALO, N.Y., Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CollectorsProof.com, the online community and gallery for the preservation of memorabilia authenticity, announced the first program by which members are rewarded for recruiting dealers into its growing social network of counterfeit-wary collectors.

Collectors Proof President, John Joseph, says, "The program is designed to reward individuals - who typically have no ability to deter fakes - for recruiting dealers into the Collectors Proof community. We're hoping to further our message: If it's authentic and you know it, put your good name behind it."

Vice President of Marketing, Kevin Dawidowicz, says, "Our members do this anyways - push sellers to document the authenticity of their memorabilia.  We are just providing the players an inexpensive, stream-lined means for doing so.  Our online item registry and Certificate of Authenticity feature give reputable dealers the ability to rise above the counterfeit noise.  If the dealers are reputable and conscientious, our members are really doing them a favor by turning them on to CollectorsProof.com.  If the dealers dabble in fakes, they'll likely take a pass on joining our community."

The company asks that interested individuals go to http://www.CollectorsProof.com/c/CleanUp for more details.
