Historic Auctions Update

Re: Historic Auctions Update

I can tell you there are 2 Michael Vick items in that auction that are not real and have been altered. My company Radtke Sports has the exlusive rights to all of Michael Vick's 2005 Game Used Apparel. Yet, somehow Historic Auctions has 1 Vick Jersey and 1 Vick Helmet from the 05 Season. We have NEVER consigned any pieces for the auction. The Vick Jersey is supposedly from the 01/01/06 Carolina Panthers Game. That jersey is in our possesion which came directly from Michael Vick's hands, we have a letter signed from Mike, and a photo of him holding it up. It also has been photo matched on Getty. The Vick Helmet is totally bogus. The stickering on the helmet is not correct and Vick was issued only 2 helmets last year, which we have. Please be aware that both Michael Vick items in this auction are not real and if Historic Auctions wants to contact me, I am all ears as to who gave the jersey and helmet to them. Also, since Global Authentication and Bernie Gernay support the authenticity of these items it would be nice to hear how they came to the conclusion that these items are legitimate. I will post a picture of the ACTUAL VICK GAMER from 01/01/06 if you have any doubts to what I am posting here.

Rick - I forwarded a question to James at Historic about this jersey too.

Hello Reid,

We have 1 jersey of Favre's in stock as of now:

1 2003 Home Reebok Jersey. $6500.00

We will update our site to reflect any new jerseys we get from the 06 season when we get them. Thanks for the inquiry!

Hi, Rick:

Thanks for your quick response. Would you please send scans to me at rgf2@hotmail.com - thanks very much,

Reid

Hello Everyone,

We have spoken to Bernie at Global and he said that all Global LOAs will not be associated with any of the jerseys in this auction. Chris Cavalier has stated this in another thread. So if you plan on purchasing the Vick from this auction, you will have to trust an "impeccable source" as your authenticator.

Did Bernie have a response to your points below, including "I can tell you there are 2 Michael Vick items in that auction that are not real and have been altered."?

I sent an email to Bernie through eBay's system today about a jersey and I have not heard back from him. I sent it around 6:30AM Central. I'll email a copy to Bernie at his personal email address so maybe he gets it.

Re: Historic Auctions Update

Historic has responded. What I find interesting is "according to the authenticator the jersey was sourced". Shouldn't the auction house be telling the authenticator where and how the the jersey was sourced to them for auction?..Unless maybe the authenticator was also the consigner...

Question & AnswerDate AnsweredQ: Radtke sports, who has an exclusive contract with Vick for game worn items claims that he has the 1/1/06 jersey worn by Vick and that this cannot be real. Where did this item come from? He has also stated the same about the helmet...
A by Whitney: According to the authenticator the jersey was sourced by a Falcons equipment staff member. An item doesn't always have to come directly from the player to be authentic. Many dealers who have exclusives become angry when this happens and attempt to discredit an item. However, the teal blue helmet burns on the shoulders are the best provenance you need for this jersey. The jersey, helmet, White, Finneran, and Duckett jerseys all came from the same rock solid source. This Vick jersey is the finest to hit the market

Re: Historic Auctions Update

To Whitney and all Collectors interested in the Michael Vick Game Used items in Historic Auctions:

The Michael Vick Helmet and Jersey in the Historic Auctions is a fake. We are not angry at Michael because we have photo matched the jersey to Getty Images view image #'s 56509744 and 56509725. We posted the jersey on Ebay for you to view item #8832340689. We have nothing to hide. Who do you trust Michael Vick or a "rock solid source"? Mike personally gave the jersey and the helmet to us, signed and dated both with a photo of him holding them up, and signed a letter stating their HIS items. I think I would trust Michael and Getty before purchasing from someone who uses an "impeccable source" as an authenticator. I feel sorry for the people who are going to get ripped off by these fakes.

Rick,
You mentioned you had the exclusive rights to all of Vick's 2005 gear. Pro Sports Investments is selling a "2005 Michael Vick Game Used Falcons Home Jersey PSI"

It does not mention anything about coming from your company? Is this one of your jerseys?

If not, any explanation for 2005 Vick pieces which didn't go through you guys?
