Re: Benito Santiago Jersey on Goldin & eBay
Phil:
the question you should be asking is "Why isn't Ken Goldin pulling the Santiago jersey"
I mean, lets face it...most cases..someone sneezes, and I pull an item. I don't want anything even REMOTELY questionable appearing in goldin auctions
A reggie bush jersey comes with a USC LOA and a Mears LOA, someone on here brings up a valid issue, boom, its pulled. a Mourneau bat is graded a 9.5, 'his biggest fan' sends me a detailed email with multiple images of the way he applies pine tar to his bat, BOOM, its pulled.
I don't want any issues. I don't want anything even remotely questionable.
SO, WHY haven't I pulled a lousy 1990 Santiago jersey selling for a lousy $100??? I mean, I must be an idiot for leaving $100 item out there that you are questioning, right?
the answer is it was consigned by Joe Goldberg. Whoe received the jersey in person from the player. The description of Joe is in my introduction letter of the October Legends catalog. Joe ran several charities including the Yankees charities in the 70s and 80s, and dealt directly with the players, and was and is good friends with Mike Pagliarulo, who was a Yankee, and then a Padre. Mike is the one who got him access to Jack Clark and Benito, and the reasons all the Padres jerseys are signed in similar location and similar marker is because it was all done at the same time.
I am someone , who under contract, had players wear jerseys for 1 game only to use as a promotion, as early as 1989-1992, so the thought that Santiago would wear a 'light use' jersey to me, is not a strange one.
Believe me, I am trying to sell items I expect to sell for $150,000+ in this auction, and $1 million plus in the Ruth auction. I don't need this aggravation over $100 jersey. The easiest thing for me to do is pull it.
However, in this case, based on my consignor, the way he got the jersey, and the inspection of Dave, I think Benito wore the jersey, which is why it is in the auction. If I didn't, I would pull it.
I don't know what else to say. This post should say enough.
