Consign the losers to Coach's Corner and get your money back, if you don't mind doing to others what someone did to you.

You don't seem to realize it, but your tone has offended. "Pulling teeth" just to get positive replies? When one of the most valued members has already helped you from embarrassing yourself with all those bad Jeters? How about being thankful so many have already taken the time to even look?

You're jerking around the most respected collectors around. You have a pile of overpriced, easy to find items riddled with turds. Nobody around here has patience for that. I'd suggest pulling it all, cleaning it up, and then posting.

Also I do not appreciate the comments of everyone telling me I am going to lose money on the deal when they do not even know what else was included in the purchase. What I really would like is for someone to give their opinion on all of the items that are not PSA/UD/Steiner. I realize that may be too much to ask, but is what I was hoping for.

I don't know most of the Jeter and newer Yankee stuff, but Chris is the best at Jeter that I am aware of. If he says they are bad, they are bad.

I will comment on the couple items I do feel comfortable opining on.
The Mantles that I saw are all bad.
The Dimaggio and Williams MAY be good, but I would buy neither as they both look a little off to me.

Thanks!

I wonder if any of the Jeters or Rivera are good other than the Steiner Jersey? They are both also on a helmet and a team jersey. Are those worth having JSA look at? I guess at the end of the day I would like to know which items are worth having JSA look at. The rest I will probably just sell the frames.

I do not give opinions on autographs for many reasons. But can I ask... who is Garian Rivera?

I think this sums it up for you. First you say that you paid $5k for everything pictured and then tell us that we don’t know what else was included. I don’t know where to go with this.

I’m sorry you got burned. They lumped all of their bad stuff in and peppered it with probably some good stuff to make it appealing and you bought it. We’ve all bought some bad stuff. I’ve been burned a couple of times. It will take a lot of time and effort to make some money back with this. Take the advice you were given here. Throw out the bad stuff. Do what you can with whats left. Try to minimize your expenses involved. It’s not going to be easy. Good luck.

Thanks. Apologize if I was misleading.
