Barry Larkin signed HOF Plaques

Steiner is no different than PSA and JSA sticking those stupid stickers on the front of photos, 3x5's and other items. No thinking on there part except for advertising. I would think most people would not want that crap right on the front of there item. They don't care cause if they did they would put it on the back.

Good god what a giant eyesore! Put it on the back if you gotta put it somewhere, man.

See, when PSA and JSA puts these things on items, it is at the request of the submitter. You can have them render an opinion, with a letter, without using that ugly ass sticker. I would never choose one, but some collectors or dealers do. Is Steiner giving collectors a choice here, or not? People who collect autos only on a single medium tend to be OCD in my experience, and I don't see that eyesore pleasing many of them.

Right. I think the type of collector who collects HOF plaque postcards is not going to be the same type of buyer who is enthralled with a Steiner hologram. What ever happened to knowing and serving the customer?

The TPAs at least give one the option, and when I have seen them stickered they have been on the back.

For $100, I would hope that Barry would be a little more careful how he signs the plaque. On the example shown you can barely see his signature.

Some guys want so much for their money .
Be glad that Steiner gives you the opportunity to buy such a great item for only $100. .

I like Barry, but I hate that plaque.

Everybody can knock Steiner on their prices, me included. But one thing I am thankful about with Steiner is everything they authenticate is something they witnessed. You're paying a premium dollar, but you don't have to question authenticity. You're paying for the autograph and the security. Tri-Star did/does have that same approach and I like their models best.
