Charlie is joined by Scott (DJ Skee) Keeney, CEO and Co-Founder of The Realest, to talk about the untapped revenue stream sitting inside every sports organisation - Memorabilia.

Using its on-site authentication technology, The Realest has transformed sports memorabilia from a market previously plagued by fraud into a structured, high-value marketplace. Their platform handles every step of the process: from authentication to fulfilment, photography, and sales. Beyond primary sales revenue, The Realest gives teams and leagues a new way to engage fans and access to a secondary market that generates perpetual royalties on every resale. Since presenting at last year's Sports Loft Summit, The Realest has closed a $12 million Series A backed by OneTeam Partners, PGA of America, and Elysian Park, and has worked with clients including FIFA, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Ryder Cup.

In this episode, Charlie and Skee discuss:

•⁠ ⁠How witness-based authentication and tamper-proof markings are eliminating fraud for fans and teams

•⁠ ⁠How memorabilia can generate multiple revenue streams from a single item with minimal operational lift on the club's side

•⁠ ⁠What the $12M raise means for The Realest's international expansion plans into Europe and Asia

•⁠ ⁠Why physical, authenticated items are becoming more valuable in an AI-dominated world
