Authenticated Sports Memorabilia
Curated around Dallas teams and athletes.
Charity Auction Fundraising Company in Dallas
Diamonds in the Rough provides authenticated sports and music memorabilia, plus the bidding tools to sell it, to charity auctions across Dallas and the Metroplex. Your beneficiary receives guaranteed funds from the first bid, and 100 percent of everything above that goes straight to your cause. Since 2011 we have helped organizations raise more than $17 million, supporting over 600 events a year.
Memorabilia Dallas Bidders Actually Want
A signed jersey only drives bidding if the room cares about the name on it. In Dallas that means Cowboys memorabilia first, and Mavericks, Stars, and Rangers pieces close behind. We curate inventory around the teams your guests grew up on, not a generic national catalog, because local passion is what turns a polite bid into a bidding war. For crowds that run broader than sports, we bring framed guitars, signed vinyl, and music memorabilia as well.
How It Works, and Why There Is No Risk to Your Organization
We bring the inventory, hand-selected and fully authenticated. Your beneficiary is guaranteed proceeds starting with the very first bid, and anything the items sell for above that guarantee goes entirely to your cause. Your committee does not buy inventory, front costs, or carry unsold items.

Every Item Is Fully Authenticated
Every collectible is authenticated by JSA, Beckett, or PSA/DNA and carries our tamper-proof hologram. Dallas bidders know exactly what they are buying, which is what gives them confidence to bid higher.
Built for Dallas Galas and Golf Tournaments
Dallas runs one of the busiest charitable calendars in Texas, and two formats are our specialty. Galas, where the right marquee item anchors the night. And golf tournaments, where sports memorabilia lands with a crowd already there for the game. We work with organizations like First Tee of Greater Dallas, the Dallas Fraternal Order of Police, and the Gatehouse, and we select inventory with the specific room in mind.
Serving Dallas and the Metroplex
We work with nonprofits throughout Dallas and the surrounding Metroplex, including Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, and the Park Cities, and across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Colorado.
