Kyle...

On a serious note....do you really believe the A-Rod item is what they SAY it is?

After all.....a LOT of what they've "off'ed" over the years has not been.

Don't want to put a damper on the fun....but I would question the authenticity of anything they lay claim to.


Next up in the "They're onto us, and we're going down" list.....AMI.

Stay tuned...

Re: ESM Going out of business....

Okay, has everyone looked at this email that ESM sent out. This stuff sounds phony. They sell "authentic NFL footballs" signed by dwight freeney or michael vick, or cato june for $70. Now correct me if i am wrong but don't those footballs cost like 80$/each new; And they are selling those with signatures for $70? Do you think its actually a white panel ball or something?
Same true for jerseysand other stuff. How long has this place been around?
Has anyone actually purchased anything from this place (do they have a website or do they just "send e-mails") and if so what is the deal here?!?!?!?!

Sternzcuse to find out more about ESM go to search on the main page and put there name in. I am sure you will get more then enough info on them.
As far as the footballs signed, the footballs themselves that they buy. They are not buying one football at retail cost. They are buying a huge bulk which probably at most costs them half of retail maybe even lower. Including the autograph it is probably at cost or even a little more then cost so they can make some profit. So financially the numbers seem to be fine. But again I do not know what they are paying for supplies and fees to players. Just trying to give you an idea of a possible break down,

From what I've heard.....AMI owes so much $, that they are totally screwed...too bad because they have brought some cool items to the hobby..

Re: ESM Going out of business....

At the risk of sounding like the devil's advocate, I've been to their store a couple of times in the last 2 weeks and came away with some incredible bargains. They're liquidating valuable items for pennies on the dollar just to get rid of everything. I was told they are getting out of the memorabilia business and getting into sports managament and player representation. Suffice to say, in this economy there's more money in representing a player than selling signed 16X20 pictures of him.

Dang, I was just down there and didn't make it. Oh well, maybe the sale will last until I get back down there next year?
