If this is true one has to wonder how many other teams may be doing this.

Heard about this on the radio. Seems pretty bad. Especially using the laundromat to fabricate wear.

This is going be REALLY bad .. for everyone involves.


There will be a lot more lawsuits coming -- I would if I was Steinersports and everyone who ever purchased anything Giants/Eli related.


This is just bad on Eli's part!

As a Giants collector, this is upsetting Glad I never broke the bank on Eli stuff

What about jerseys sold by JO Sports? Talk about pot calling a kettle black when Giants terminated their contract with JO after Jarrod got into trouble selling fake game used.

As I was typing..........

Agreed.

This is why the NFL needs a system like MLB Authenticated. We all saw what happened with JO with football jerseys and the mess with Brett Favre and it is time the NFL takes care of this with a real authentication system both at halftime and after the game.

The issue with 2 jerseys worn each game has been an issue for a long time. Collectors deserve better than this.

The NFL doesn't care about the collector, its pretty evident with their current NFL auctions. They provide limited photos, poor descriptions which are sometimes inaccurate. Some of their items aren't what they say they are and the holograms and psa cert #'s don't always match.

I think it would be even worse if they had more to deal with, each team should handle their own jerseys, equipment, etc. IMO

You still need an independent authenticator hologramming as the players take off their equipment. MLB has it right and the system above the authenticators is good. The system isn't perfect but its better than any other sport. I can say all this as part of the game used system with our store in the Orioles stadium. I've been so frustrated when we request a jersey and the authentication comes back as Game Issued and the authenticator says "Sorry, didn't see the athlete take the jersey off". Well, after reading this story I can now appreciate the extra caution.

I still hope they go a step further and barcode but I realize how labor intensive that could be.

Again, no system is completely perfect. A 100% conclusive photomatch is our way to perfect what we have.
