I'm fairly new to the hobby, and I'm afraid my stay may be limited. The amount of misrepresentation in this field is unbelievable. I don't know how you guys can stand it. I don't think I have the patience to do the necessary research on every item ... or the stomach to tolerate the lies.
Case in point, there are a couple of good looking football items currently offered by Lelands. But, the Singletary jersey has already been questioned here (http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=31145&page=85). And, based on previous GUU threads, the Marino helmet (http://www.lelands.com/Auction/AuctionDetail/66696/June-2011-Catalog/Sports/Football/Lot1025~Dan-Marino-Signed-Game-Worn-Helmet) (a VSR-1, I think) is almost certainly not as described.
There are threads like this one (http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/showthread.php?p=213929) that say Lelands is among the best. Yet their description of the Marino helmet is laughable. Can someone really type this with a straight face?
The Hall of Famer wore this Miami Dolphins helmet during a game in the early '90s and it shows light but definite use. Marino signed and gifted this to a young boy after a game.
Comments please. Thanks.
