HSN autographed All-Star jerseys - legit?

[ffgameman]

My mother noticed these on the Home Shopping Network last night....not a bad price but a few comments left said that they do not come with a certificate of authenticity (it must be authenticated through MLB.com).

Are these legit and/or a decent buy at $100? (for Pena, Crawford?).

Yeah, I noticed that it isn't GU but it's still decent for an autograph.

My mother is on the phone with HSN right now trying to figure out if it does or doesn't have a certificate.

They don't come with a cert, just a hologram that must be authenticated on MLB.com.

Trying to decide whether I want to get one or not....and if I do get one, Pena or Crawford?

in both of the product reviews for the crawford, it says it isnt included, but in the description it says you can type in the hologram code at mlb.com to authenticate. I would hope a big company like HSN would do their homework before selling these

None of my MLB certified items come with a COA. You can print the COA off of the MLB website.
