Hello,I'm new here but I'm a victim of Lou's authentification inaccuracy.I purchased a pair of supposedly Sparky Andersons game used shoes and thru reseach found out that these shoes could not have possibly been his.The shoes were red in color and come to find out that while Sparky was with the Reds they were not allow to wear red shoes,only black. It was not until 1983 that they were allowed to change to a color .This rule was documented with the Reds organizasion.I tried to get ahold of him thru the memorabilia service that guaranteed 100% authentic but was very rudely told that I could not talk to him and that they would not discuss any questions about these shoes.So I'm stuck with some very expensive shoes that I would not try to sell again because I know that they are not authentic.So there is my two cents on Lou.
