    Re: Steiner Sports....yes Or No

    Well, the only way I can answer this is to give my personal experience. It used to be tough to get them even if you were willing to spend the money. Now, if you're willing to spend the money, it's easy to get them. In other words, I didn't use to have a Yankee jersey. Now I have two. I don't know if that's good or bad for you. For me, it's good because I like to collect what I like because I like it and not because I plan to sell it. Resale value doesn't really interest me.

    Re: Steiner Sports....yes Or No

    I have no problem with Steiner or their prices. Good for those who can afford some of it. I bought a Yankees piece as well and it was worth every penny. I even photo-matched it to the 2004 ALCS which I was pretty excited about. I watched every game of that series and I can distinctly remember thinking how cool it would be to own something from it. Now I do. I only want to add authenticate pieces to my collection, so the amount of money I'm willing to pay automatically becomes secondary. If it isn't real, why pay anything for it?

    Thats another thing a blanket of security you get from knowing that it is undoubtedly the real thing coming from steiner.

    Re: Steiner Sports....yes Or No

    I'm new to the forum and have a question regarding a game-used value. Any estimates out there on the value of a game worn (2001) autographed Jimmy Smith Jacksonville Jaguar helemt. I'm donating it to a very good charity and they are looking to place a value on it.
    Thanks for any help.

    I would personally suggest starting a new post with that question. Just a thought.

    Re: Steiner Sports....yes Or No

    Let me be more specific, I don't have a problem with the Steiner game used stuff, they can charge whatever they want. It is up to us if we pay or not. My problem is flooding the market with tons of "game issued" crap that we all know, the stickers and the Steiner letters are thrown away, and are passed off as "game used" with letters from (take your pick). This puts a premium on Steiners stuff because you really don't know if anything else, though all the tagging is correct, is actually game used or doctored. Example: Steiner " game issued" Rivera, Jeter, Posada etc. $1000.-$1500. Get the jersey, roll around in the yard for a while...presto!! "game used" jersey $2500. to whatever. I know, I know this could happen and does with anybody, and Steiner is not at fault, but they are supplying the amo!! Did anyone see a recent Steiner show with a visit to their wharehouse!! There is not way in the world there was or still is that much "game issued" stuff in existance. Could the boss be ordering 3-4 sets for each player for game use and a little extra for Brandon????

    People who roll around their yards are weird. And anyone who would buy a game issued Steiner piece then go to the trouble of removing any link to Steiner are missing the point of why Stiener is able to charge 25K for a Jeter jersey. Do you seriously think an educated collector would be willing to pay anywhere close to that if it doesn't have Steiner documentation? No sir. You want to see what non-Steiner Yankees "game used" star jerseys really go for? Look at Bricol Sports' last couple of auctions.
