Overview

Amazon's Entertainment Collectibles category covers vintage and collectible items related to film, music, theater, animation, and comics. This includes celebrity-signed photos, original movie posters, limited-edition figures, animation cels, non-sport trading cards, production-used props and wardrobes, graded comic books, and related ephemera. Notably, Amazon is no longer accepting new seller applications for this program, making this a closed category for existing approved sellers only.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Program is closed to new applicants — Amazon has stopped accepting new seller applications for the Entertainment Collectibles category, so only previously approved sellers can list in this space.
• Professional selling plan required — Sellers must maintain an active Professional selling account to participate in the category.
• Strict authentication standards — Autographed and production-used items require verifiable provenance or third-party authentication from recognized grading companies.
• Customer metrics enforcement — Approved sellers must keep their performance metrics at or below Amazon's required thresholds to retain access.
• Accurate categorization is mandatory — Items must be properly classified, and reproductions or copies must be clearly labeled as such in the product title.
• Prohibited content rules apply — Several types of items are explicitly banned from the category, including hateful content and crime scene photographs.

Authentication and Provenance Requirements

Sellers offering autographed or production-used items must provide credible proof of authenticity. Amazon accepts third-party authentication or grading from recognized companies including PSA/DNA, James Spence Authentication (JSA), and Certified Guaranty Company (CGC). Alternatively, sellers may provide their own Certificate of Authenticity (COA), Letter of Authenticity (LOA), or hologram, but only when backed by additional verifiable evidence. This evidence can include an individually numbered COA or LOA that can be verified through an online public database, a letter of provenance from a reputable auction house, or a copy of a contractual agreement between the seller and the signing personality from a public or private appearance. Sellers may also demonstrate a direct working relationship with the personality, studio, or authorized representative, or show proof of acquisition from a personality's estate or studio.
