Thanks, I already spoke with him..

Yes, he told me that. I'm glad you spoke to him.

I spoke to a gentleman with the last name of Lee who called me last week. I don't have your number but if you read this give Mr. O'Keefe a call. You had some good information.

Michael O'keefe of the NY Daily News just contacted me on this story. He would like to hear from some of you that own substantial Giants collections with Eli Manning game used items in them.

He said I could post his phone number which is[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif'] 917-796-9643 [/FONT]

Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia lawsuit

Geraldo brings up a valid point on Eli's statement.

Again, this entire fiasco goes back to the fact that the NFL has no league-wide independent authentication system in place.

The MLB system was set up on the tenets used by CPAs in auditing for independent control and proper handling of inventory. As a CPA, I could set up a system that is as close to tamper proof as possible. Safeguards are put in place. The NFL must adopt this system. With my experience working directly with MLB Authenticators and now working inside the stadium, I am proud when I offer MLB authenticated items for sale because I have 100% confidence it is legitimate game used if the authentication says that. For the 1,000's of items we have handled, the issues are never on authenticity, just some minor issues on description. That's how the system is supposed to work and generally through research the descriptions are corrected.

While I have no direct knowledge of any of the questionable items here, I was contacted by a few journalists asking me specifically about authentication and how it works.

Any time the NFL wants to contact me on setting up an authentication system, my contact info is below

Geraldo will that's the thing now that this is gaining all this publicity it cannot just get swept under the carpet.

My real fear is people coming out of the wood work and making these types of claims about other teams/players. This could open a whole can of worms.

Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia lawsuit

Fox News did a story earlier today on the Eli helmet, with Geraldo. Hopefully the situation gets worked out.

Re: Eli and Giants Fake Memorabilia lawsuit

I have a GU photo matched helmet with the Velcro stickers inside.
I've given up asking gmen asking for help with my potential fake Arizona fitz jersey. But good luck. Maybe to help himself...

steelcurtain, what game was it from? I have an Eli helmet, supposed pulled after Pitt 2008 game, that he signed in front of me. It's got all the proper outside markings and velcro inside. In pouring over video from the game, I noticed that there is a hole (or black sticker) in the top of the inside of the helmet on video, that is NOT there on my helmet. Does anyone know what that hole/ sticker is for? Suspicious that my helmet has only all-white styrofoam in that spot?

Also, my helmet has a white scratch next to the NY logo on the left side. I'm not sure if one would be actually able to see this on video, but I could not find any sign of it on his helmet in the video, nor in the limited photos I could find.

Comments from the helmet experts ?

Also, GMEN92, I've PM'ed you twice. Any reply? Thanks,

Sam

That was for GMEN92. Wondering if you tried to contact the person that sold you the helmet. I have a 2005 helmet and have the same issues.
