Brandon Steiner hardly slept at all last night

IMO, Steiner, and by extension, all private/show signings are akin to the new car or new book markets. They lose value as soon as they leave the place of sale.

The resale market for these items is below the paid amount, almost without exception.

However, their demographic seems to be the population that has a large amount of discretionary income. In part, it is also the greedy athletes whose demands drive the prices up for collectors.

Below is a thread I wrote just this past December.

An instance where an Ebay seller used a Steiner Sports COA to list and eventually sell their Derek Jeter forgery.

I immediately alerted Steiner Sports to the auction. They never lifted a finger.

The above has occurred more times than I can remember. Steiner Sports has never followed up.

That was, and will be, the last time I will ever contact Steiner Sports about an issue.

Way to go Leon.
You do not need those people.

Maybe they could have Eli Manning and the Giants authenticate the items.

I am not happy with the way Steiner is jerking around a fellow collector over a lost/stolen item that was in their care!! If you don't know what I am referring to, go across the street and see how they handled one of our peers.

In 2009 my family all chipped in and got me a seat from Yankee Stadium for my birthday. My wife was the point person in dealing with and ordering it from Steiner. Seat was supposed to arrive in June I believe but kept being delayed. My wife communicated with them on several occasions and she said they were rude, sometimes never returned phone calls etc. it was to be a surprise and winded up coming 2 months late. She said it was some of the worst customer service she ever saw, and on top of that they called here from time to time to tell her about other items they have to sell. Finally she told them to stop calling and she would never purchase from them again.

Based on this and there way overpricing I will not deal with them. Besides if there is something you really want you can usually find it on ebay or at an auction for half the price about a year later.

I'd rather not deal with people who can afford to sell in Skymall Magazine
