Authenticity is Everything

"But they will still use the Steiner name and website because they can put a premium price on the items. The difference of clientele buying anything on ebay and Steiner is tremendous. "
"No doubt that when Fanatics bought Steiner it was the final nail in the coffin. They don’t give a damn about the Steiner brand. They just wanted all the athlete contracts. The remaining Steiner inventory will probably be re-stickered with…"
"BUT the new ownership views Steiner as just one of their properties. There is no "This is my creation. I am proud of what we have accomplished and we are the best" attitude. Now they have sales people who answer the phone…"
"You touch on on what I believe is the most salient point. The fact of the matter is, Steiner product was sold for premium pricing under the umbrella that authenticity was ironclad. Yet, they didn’t protect their brand and now product that…"
"If I remember correctly, back in the early 1990's a company, I believe was Mounted Memories, began using numbered holograms. They "patented" it. Steiner began using them. MM took them to court. While the court…"
"I believe Tony is correct. Throughout their history, they sporadically had serial numbers on some of their certs. To my knowledge, there was never a way to look them up."
"I agree with Steve about the dilution of their product due to the vast amount of forgeries being passed off with the Steiner sticker. It could end up like Scoreboard, good product, but worthless documentation. I have some original…"
"Steiner is a hot mess in my opinion. They spent way too much time selling vials of stadium dirt, cheesy displays and on and on rather than focusing on the security of their core business -- autographs.
Now, their holograms have become corrupted by…"

I purchased the cap, knowing what the third signature was. When I received the cap I called JSA giving them the COA info and a photo of the cap asking if I could send it to them to verify the third signature.
Off it went in the mail. A few weeks later I called and it…

Is anyone aware that the new ownership of Steiner Sports has created a situation on their website that if an old serial hologram number is entered, the number is noted as invalid? There is no way of proving the item is actually an authentic Steiner product. It took hours of phone calls and harassing them to get a manager on the phone. I have sent them photos of items purchased from Steiner Sports in the past. They stated they would look into the matter and get back to me. It's been months…
