American Memorabilia files chapter 11

While everybody should strive to be the next Geoff Tate (Mindcrime is the best ever!), I would not give Geoff my valuable sports memorabilia!

I am sure that David can get away with large hoop earrings, however, under all circumstances you should leave the moo-moo at home.

Well, mine aren't large, and I'm more of a blue jeans type of guy.

As far as my earrings go, the only opinions that matter are those from women, not men at baseball card shows.

I know this is an old thread, but they still have auctions going.

They currently have a David Beckham game used jersey that I would like to buy. Do they have a good reputation for honest stuff?

Thanks

I used to bid on them when I first got into the hobby. I always got my stuff. They did use tape to tape a bat on a Roger Maris hartland I won from them, which I thought was odd. I think it slighly damaged the figure when I removed it. When I read that they started stiffing consignors, I stopped bidding on their auctions.

The answer is do your homework on the stuff you bid on, but I'm sure a good percentage of their stuff is genuine.

I believe their business plan these days is they have big dealers sell stuff through them.
