American Memorabilia Inc out of Las Vegas

They might well be better now, but had a myriad of problems several years ago. Consignors often waited months to get paid, for starters. Also, at one point AMI has a team of authenticators for various collecting items. Some were very good, but others (specifically their game used jersey guy) were at times downright atrocious. Another sore spot with collectors back then: somebody there got the idea of having hottie models pose while wearing the jerseys that were being auctioned, sometimes in outdoor settings.

I think that Kieta is doing a better job of running things these days, but I hope a few more members chime in with their remembrances and experience.

Nope, they were junky back in the day and they still are. I had issues with them just last yr and it was a huge mess for me to not have them cancel my winning bid and then took days for them to take my money. I should’ve known better but it was an item I wanted and so I went for it. And yes, their “experts” know very little.
