Ken,

Wouldn't UDA and Tristar fall under the same level of authenticity as MLB?

Ken, bull is bull stop and smell the bs. You can think you will make a difference but like I told you in this thread stop your just blowing smoke up your a-s. You are just another person who thinks they have the power or the friends to stop this.
These people are looking at this site and laughing at you. Just stop. If you can get something done come back on here and tell us. I know at least twenty people that have tried and failed. I will be the first to tell you are hero.

Wow shelly.
I actually am willing to spend my own money to go after these guys, and spoke to one of the CEOs of the 4 company's i mentioned in a previous email and he will do the same. I was planning on talking to the other three as well. I am sorry you find my comments and efforts fruitless and a waste of time. I certainly did not post them to offend you or anyone else. I will stop posting because i have no interest in getting into an argument with any member of this forum. If something gets accomplished I will send the info to chris williams and he can inform.

I will again caution folks that if you give any opinion concerning a person or company then your full name needs to be in your post or edit out your comments....or soon your name will be there without you putting it there. Thanks for your understanding and only keeping with the posted rules...

I would put UDA, Tri Star, Mounted memories and Steiner sports into their own category. I trust all in person and under contract items from these companies. They are the best at what they do, which is contract athletes and conduct in person signings.

I do believe however that at least one or more of these companies will certify or hologram a 'purchased' item on occasion, which means it would be impossible for them to witness it, therefore not falling into the category of MLB, which will never hologram an item it didnt witness.

The question was comparing player holograms to MLB. and, because MLB is not a company selling its own items, but providing a service to its licensees, an MLB authenticated item needs to be placed on a different level then even the top memorabilia companies in the business. MLB authentication purpose is simply to witness , authenticate and hologram product.

With respect, I think you are mistaken when it comes to MLB selling authenticated product.

I'd agree with UDA, but not Tri-Star anymore. Tri-Star has started to put their sticker on things that the company did not witness in person. Not sure why they started to do that, but they did.
