Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia law suit
Heard about this on the radio. Seems pretty bad. Especially using the laundromat to fabricate wear.

Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia law suit
I read this earlier and glad it got posted. The one thing I'm curious to see is how Steiner is portrayed as the case goes on. They weren't named in the lawsuit, but the excerpt below makes one pause.
"Some of Manning’s alleged fakes were sold through famed memorabilia house Steiner Sports, with whom he had an exclusive deal.
Steiner, believing its items to be authentic, sold them “to unwitting customers and sent them via the mail,” the suit says.
Angry buyers started to complain after noticing that markings on their items didn’t match those that appeared in pictures of Manning’s game-day duds.
But Manning told Steiner they were legit, and Steiner resold returned helmets to other buyers, the suit claims."
I have had good experience dealing with Steiner, and doubt they'll comment on this as it's an impending case. Something for us all to keep an eye on I think.Cheers,
Jack

Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia law suit
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.

Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia law suit
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.

Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia law suit
I wonder what members here have any of this stuff? Anyone want to share what Giants gear that have obtained through Steiner?
