Hi Mike

Welcome to the site...

Since you are new to the site, here is a little help. On the right side of the top blue toolbar of each forum is a 'search' function. Click it, enter search word "Steiner" and about nine pages of threads about Steiner Sports will be displayed, many of them with the type of info you are seeking. Here's a quick link:

Game Used Forums

http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/search.php?searchid=32029

I am sure other GUU members will offer you their experiences also ... the search above is just for a jump start.

Good Luck.

Re: Steiner authenticity questions?

thanks for the help. however, the reason I hadn't used the search function in the first place is because I suspected it would provide little, or no answers to my questions. can anybody else shed any light?

Re: Steiner authenticity questions?

Steiner is very reputable I higly doubt they sell anything Fake/bogus, but then again this is America lol lol.

I have dealt with/ bought many items from Steiner and I cant complain. They have an exclusive contract with the Yankees and recently just gained the Mets. As far as a Mike Cameron Jersey selling for cheap others may not agree with me but he's "Mike Cameron" not David Wright or Jose Reyes. In 12 seasons he has played with already 6 teams, his first season with the Mets his average was .231 and has a career average of .252 not exactly a star player and border line semi star, so why wouldnt his items sell for cheap?????

ooh, burn! lol. I'll give you some reasons why I think it SHOULDN'T sell nearly that low.

1.) It's a Mets jersey. Regardless of the player, there is always a market for them
2.) He is a former All-Star and two-time gold glove winner. At the age of 33, he's still one of the premeire outfielders in the league
3.) Just this season, I saw a Cammy Mets jersey go for upwards of $425, and a few more recent sales around $200

Mike,

I think Mike Specht's suggestion is right on target. The search function will turn up many relevant threads and information for you.

Re: Steiner authenticity questions?

Mike,welcome.The jersey is not for sale for $100-that's just the opening bid in what is a 17 day (remaining) auction. Let's guess where it will end at. My guess $370+

but see... that's exacty what my thoughts were as well. however I checked the completed auctions, and this exact jersey has already been listed, and ended without any bids, TWICE. I didn't think there could be any other possible explanation besides people questioning it's authenticity.

Cammy Just because an item doesnt sell or sells low you shouldnt automatically assume the seller is selling fake stuff.
The truth is Miker Cameron is a NOBODY!!.
I am not trying to knock you for who you like, but just ecause you hold high regards for him doesn't everyone else does.

1) Because its a Mets Jersey it should sell???? Who told you that?
2) Former All Star / 2 Gold Glove Winner - SO IS HALF THE OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, Again he may be a good Outfielder but has a terrible average.
3) As far as what you have seen sell in the past - Well thats all in the moment if you get the right bidders at the right time. Thats all!!!

Re: Steiner authenticity questions?

Kid your right, it just's that was a bad reason to think someone is not legit because something doesnt sell or because it sells to low.

There are so many reasons on this forum that Dealers, Collectors, Auction houses and authentication companies have to put up with, I just dont think they something like that to discredit them.

**Kid4hof03** · 10-16-2006, 11:21 AM

Re: Steiner authenticity questions?

He never questioned the authenticity, he asked for opinions becuase he wasn't very familiar with the company. No offense, we talk alot and I like you, but there needs to be much thicker skin about this stuff. If a new collector can't come here and ask questions without being treated rudely then why even bother?

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the whole memorabilia collecting world, so forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question here. Anyways, my question is, has there been any reported instances of Steiner selling fake/non-GU items? I'm only wondering this because I just went to their site and found a Mike Cameron jersey that is being listed for it's 3rd time with only a $100 starting bid. Seems strange to me that it wouldn't sell when the price is so low. I plan on buying it so I'd like to know. Thanks alot guys!

Kid I like you too, but your wrong he did question authenticity as I highlighted above.

**Kid4hof03** · 10-16-2006, 01:06 PM

Re: Steiner authenticity questions?

Come on Jason, read the whole sentence man! He asked "have there been reported incidents of Steiner selling fake items". He asked a question, are we really that asinine that nobody can ask a question about a company that we sell items from? Jason, I hope I'm wrong, but you may be losing business just by the way you responded to these questions, you couldn't be more wrong.

Re: Steiner authenticity questions?

Kid lets just leave it at this!!!
and agree to disagree as we both look at it from different perspectives.

In the mean time Eric if you would like you can delete what I wrote.
