    Go to the search function on this site and enter Elite, Elite Sports Marketing, and ESM...there are plenty of previous threads discussing this company and it's items...fair warning: you may not like the answers these threads provide.

            are they authenticators? i thought they were more like memorabilia dealers and that they are going out business to get into sport agency business.

              They are memorabilia dealers not authenticators, unless they have changed there business practices or added to them.

                Elite is a dealer (and not one that many of us respect or buy from), not an authenticator.
                Always looking for top NBA game worn items of superstar and Hall-of-Fame-caliber players (especially Kobe, LeBron, MJ, Curry and Durant). Also looking for game worn items of all players from special events (e.g., All Star Game, NBA Finals, milestone games, etc.). Please contact me at gameusedequip2@hotmail.com. Thank you.

                  Ok, well, the 'game used' item in question has an Elite sticker affixed.

                    i too have seen (and own) game used items with Elite holos attached. Actually I only own one thing by Elite and it was a Rafael Palmiero set of batting gloves signed and dated.

                      That just means it's one of there items that came from them / (so called) witenessed to coming from the player.

                      What is the item? Is it on ebay or something?
