To me, personally, it would have a negative value. I would probably pay to have it removed.

I am sure Steiner can come up with something for you Leon, they seem to have a knack for coming up with something.

They are courting Net54baseball quite hard in helping to promote their items. They have some kind of affiliate program where I/we could get a discount. I still need to make a decision but don't believe it's something I want to do. That being said, if our members (forget about me, I don't count) would like a discount on their items I might be able to swing it. The whole Steiner thing leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth but maybe it shouldn't? I dunno....

"Created collectibles" to me do not fit the Net54 members, for the most part I would think.
Created collectibles with amazingly high prices (are those sustained in the after market?) are not what most of us are looking for.

I know Richard. And that is why I haven't done it. And to clarify, I am not referring to any particular event when I say the "whole Steiner" thing. I am referring to the fact that, because of how much everything in Pro Sports costs, it has gotten away from the average middle class person. I really never got over the MLB strike from 1994 either.

Don't do it Leon. As Richard said, it goes against what our community collects.

I hope you say "No," Leon.

For years I tried to get Steiner Sports (Brandon Steiner) to help fight autograph fraud in the hobby. I must have emailed Steiner Sports over a dozen times about certain issues.

I remember two years ago I emailed Steiner Sports about a website that was selling over 100 Derek Jeter forgeries. The forgeries were the GAI (Steve Sipe) certed forgeries. There I was going out of my way to protect the interests of Steiner Sports and nothing, and now they want to advertise their over-priced items here!!!

I vote "No."

The heck with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yanks12025]

I vote yes, interested to see what they offer.

Thank you, Leon, for not dealing with them.

I think that anybody who wants to buy items from Steiner Sports can go to them directly and buy from them. If Steiner can give a discount for an affiliate then an individual can at least ask for a discount if they decide to go to them directly.

Also, I might be wrong but I would think that if you knew what Steiner items looked like, you could go to eBay and get them at cheaper price if you were patient.....

Finally, when I think of "created collectibles" I think of Beanie Babies and Danbury Mint plates. Both of which were hyped when they were made, initally overpriced and that sell for much less (if they sell at all) now.

No way. This website is better than that. Have you seen their pricing structure and discounts? They mark up the price then give you a 10% off code. Pitiful. They are a company for the casual collector or somebody desperately wanting that Mo or Jeter autograph. Not for us!

Hey Chris
I am going to tell them NO. Is it ok if I cut and paste your message above? If they want to be in the sports memorabilia business they should join the fight with us....
