Do you think this jersey is good? Shouldn't Dodgers jerseys come with Steiner authentication? Any help appreciated.

Ron is well connected to the Dodger team so access to Dodger items or other Los Angeles based teams/players does not surprise me. Like Steiners deal with the Yankees, the Dodgers players have a commitment to give up a certain amount of jerseys to Steiner and have extras to do as they please.

when did Steiner's dodger deal expire? they haven't had one for awhile. i don't know if they even had one in 2009. I'm not sure they even had Mattingly stuff that year as he was only a coach.

above is another example of a game issued Mattingly without Steiner papers.

Hannabach and son incidentally make the best customized frames for jersey IMO but thats another point

do some of your own homework and let me know your findings.

I found this other manager jersey more interesting.

Seems like the blue ribbon worn on Father's Day on the jersey in the getty photo left an impression on the jersey. Even without knowing the source and the jersey missing the "Property of Los Angeles Dodger" tag, the jersey seems to speak for itself.

good point. i just checked steiners website and their stock doesnt have anything earlier than 2008. the dodgers sell the jersey and bats themselves at the stadium for at least the last couple of years.

The photos give a favorable impression.
