New Steiner Holograms
Hey everyone-
I just purchase a couple of BP jerseys from Steiner and was pleased to see that the new steiner holograms affixed to the item had a serial number which is also on the COA.
It's definitely a step to fight fraud. Thumbs up

Re: New Steiner Holograms
Kyle is correct and Bob M. will tell you that thanks to suggestions here on the Forum where we discussed #'d holograms last year that idea was initiated.
I think special markings were also made on game issued. Maybe Bob can comment on that too.

Re: New Steiner Holograms
There are 2 "new" types of numbered Steiner holograms, "game used" and "game issued". This won't completely eradicate the fraud issue, but yes, we believe it is a step in the right direction. We have been using these for approximately the past six months.

Re: New Steiner Holograms
Thanks Andrew...we have also been marking game used jerseys and pants with an invisible ink as well.

Re: New Steiner Holograms
I always thought it was better to add invisible ink to game issued (instead to game used) so if they flick off the game issued hologram, it would have the invisble ink. This way they can't claim to have received it directly from the player or "their source deep in the organization".
Just my thought. Maybe you can still do that but to a different location of the jersey. That should severely shut off most of the fakes.
You notice that there really haven't been any 2007 Yankees game used out there yet without Yankees Steiner documentation because you haven't released the game issued jerseys yet. Coincidence, I think not.
Just some thoughts. Andrew
