Can anyone provide insight about items on this website?

I've never seen the site before. My boss is looking to pic up some nice memorabilia pieces and is asking for my opinion. The specific piece from this site is a Roger Maris autographed photo. If anyone has any info about this site and it's reputation for selling authentic pieces, I would be appreciative. Thanks!

Myself personally wouldn't touch anything thats 1000$ + and they wont provide a nice scan on the autograph. One would think them being "forensic document examiners" they would provide a decent scan. RUN

Thanks!

Anyone else?

Never heard of them before, but it seems like that Maris photo is the only item on the entire site that doesn't have a larger scan available.

Yeah. It also seems most of the others have a Tristar authentication except for this one.

Thanks for asking.

I am the owner of that site and all the collectibles are authentic. I am an approved vendor for TriStar, UpperDeck and also sell via my suppliers, Steiner, PDA, MLB, and various smaller authenticators. All the products include a Certificate of Authenticity and a serialized hologram. In some cases like UDA, MLB and Mounted Memories, their serialized hologram serves as their COA and can be verified on their site once you receive the serialized hologram.

As for the images, why some are different. All of my products are shipped directly from the authenticator or my supplier. Therefore I am furnished the images from each supplier. In some case every photograph will not magnify like others do.

I have been selling sports memorabilia online since 2005, on Amazon, ebay and various websites.

All of my products are 100% guaranteed and the authenticity is guaranteed for a lifetime.

Thanks for your interest. Feel free to email me with any questions you might have.

Who authenticated that maris? And how did you find this topic the day it was created? Was this topic a set up? :lol:

sportscollectible · Jan 19, 2010

The authenticator is Athletic Promotional Events, Inc out of NJ. They have been authenticating memorabilia since 1995.

I found this topic link via my traffic reports to my site.

from your site

COA from Authentic Autographs Unlimited who is licensed as forensic document examiners

And not to rain on your parade how does a promoter authenticate and forget to mention this on their site? Not accusing just an honest question.

From their site

Athletic Promotional Events, Inc. was started with one main idea...

If we witness the signing
of everything we sell then
100% of our items are
guaranteed authentic.

Maris passed away in 85. Once again not accusing just saying, if you are in the autograph business you understand the skepticism due to idiots who mucked up everything. So whats the deal? Can we see a nice scan of it?

xcantgobackx · Jan 19, 2010

Valid question about the Maris, which is the only one I'm interested in. This is an expensive item, and while it's not my money, the guy looking to buy it signs my paycheck. So Im sure you can see my concern. Make me feel the item is authentic, and you probably have a nice chunk of change for yourself from that.

I can assure you that everything on my site is guaranteed to be authentic. In the 5 years I have been selling online, I have never had an item returned due to a fake. I understand that fakes in the memorabilia field are HUGE, around 70%.

For the person asking for a scan of the autograph....as I have explained before, all of my products are shipped from my suppliers and/or the authenticator....so it is not possible for me to scan the signature.

If there is any doubt after you make the purchase, a company called psa/dna can authenticate that piece.

Like all of my products, on every site that I own, we have a 100% money back guarantee on what we sell.

Email me if you have any questions, as I do not visit this forum on a daily basis.

The image has been fixed so if you click on the image it will now magnify so you can see the signature clearly.

I didn't realize until tonight, 21st, that the image was not increasing in size once you clicked on it.

"In some case every photograph will not magnify like others do".

True statement.

We bulk load all the inventory and images and with over 4,000 we do not check each individual item. We usually catch them either by questions from customers or from our own searches.

It does not happen often that an image file is loaded and ends up corrupted but Im sure their might be others that haven't been found yet.

So if chashawk says it's "the only item on the entire site that doesn't have a larger scan available"......I tell him Thank You for looking at all 4,000 items.....although our traffic reports show he did not...

Pinbreaker · Jan 21, 2010

So you are basically an affiliate site.. Where you don't have any of the items on hand..

No, he did not. He said seems like. But I can guarantee you that now he def. won't.

Way to endear yourself to a potential customer base there chief. :benson:
