Re: Steiner admits there are many "fake" Steiner products

I read that also, but why the hell would you do something like that? if you lose the LOA and the jersey has nothing on its tagging to prove its authenticity it becomes worthless then.

I guess will see, looks he is trying to move it on ebay.

Re: Steiner admits there are many "fake" Steiner products

Here is what I do not get, why someone would continuously keep coming back where he is not wanted??

Doesn't make sense to me, the guy is banned time and time again and keeps coming back.


It's like back in school he tried to hang with the cool kids and got booted out from the group and still keeps lurking around hopng one day they will accept him. Yet all they do is make fun of him.

You would think he would just move on and find another forum to spaz out on!!

But boy, was it a good one. I actually wish it would stay up because there were a lot of good points in it. But also some laugh out loud comments

My thoughts exactly. I knew it wouldn't last, but it made some excellent points and told it like it is. It was also rather funny!

We'll see how long Bob's post lasts. Welcome aboard, Bob... for now, anyway.

It looks like it was deleted. I started reading the threads from #1 to the most current to follow this and it was gone when I got back to this page.

Re: Steiner admits there are many "fake" Steiner products

I'm curious to know the process in which Steiner receives their game jerseys, like from the Yankees. Do the Yankees just dump their inventory on them and let them figure it out for themselves what's game used/game issued and then Steiner creates the LOA? or do the LOAs accompany the items when the team gives them to Steiner?

What troubles me is that there doesn't seem to be the presence of a team representative authenticating these items as well. You just get a letter with a preprinted signature from Brandon Steiner unconditionally guaranteeing its authenticity. Whereas with MeiGray, you get both genuine signatures from Barry Meisel and (most importantly) another signature from someone affiliated with the team, or organization.

Re: Steiner admits there are many "fake" Steiner products

The whole point behind all of this is that if Steiner would just make a VERY SIMPLE modification to their website and inventory process, there would not be any of these issues. Sure, people would still be trying to counterfeit stuff, but at least Steiner would be making an effort to prevent them.

They offer an "Authenticity Guarantee" (link here), but what good is that "guarantee" if it can't be proven. If you go to that link, they claim (#2), that the have a detailed, signed affidavit of EVERY item that goes through their company. If that's truly the case, why is it impossible for them to determine if items are authentic or not... well, besides the "trust us, it's good" line. That just sounds like a shady used car dealer line instead of a respected business in the high dollar sports memorabilia industry.

Again, this could all be fixed in a weekend if they're really serious about helping collectors and securing the future of their company.

Re: Steiner admits there are many "fake" Steiner products

are the Jeter and A-Rod game used jerseys you're trying to photomatched MLB Authenticated?

No, neither are. That's another reason why it's very fishy. There's a Jeter '07 that's been on Ebay several times during the same timeperiod these Jeter/ARod's were worn and both Steiner and MLB hologram authenticated. And it can be photomatched with no problem.
I guess it's possible neither were MLB authenticated, but almost every modern day's bball superstar jersey has been. And these are 2 of the biggest and nothing? Hmmm....

Hate to say it, but lately I'm starting to feel that having a jersey MLB hologram authenticated has more "credibility" than just a Steiner letter/hologram# alone.
