Steiner Hologram Removed?
Hey everyone
I was looking through an old thread and noticed an Alex Rodriguez game issued jersey sold by jfactory_sportsto gingerine98
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=270140538867
I noticed in the close up of the tagging there appear to be remnants of the Steiner hologram- as if it has been removed.
I wonder where it is now.

Re: Steiner Hologram Removed?
Don't know about the Steiner holograms, but many of the authentication stickers are designed by the manufacturer to be destroyed if removed. I once tested a PSA/DNA sticker on a LOA and the sticker was ruined when removed ... I had bought a group lot of autographs with one PSA LOA. After I had sold off the autographs individually, I was left with just the LOA and figured, what the heck, I would see what would happen if I removed the sticker.

To me, it looks like a "13" in faded black marker

Steiner holograms fall off very easily. I have 2 pairs of Mets pants with Steiner holograms on them and both holograms have fallen off easily already and they don't break or anything like that. I just place them back on.

Re: Steiner Hologram Removed?
It doesn't make sense to sell correctly as "game issued" after you have already removed a Steiner holo which in my opinion would decrease the value.
The "fakers" remove the holo after they purchase as a "game issued" to call it a "game used" when they go to resell so I am confused by this one.

Re: Steiner Hologram Removed?
You could sell it as Issued with a Steiner letter and sell something else (non-steiner) with a Steiner sticker and no letter.

Re: Steiner Hologram Removed?
The jersey is a 2006 per the Year tag and in 2006 they weren't issuing #'d holograms so it was just a standard Steiner Company hologram so I still contend that removing the hologram would decrease the overall value, but you bring up a good point that this could have been a blank that the #13 was added.
We need Rudy to check the stitching!
