this certainly shouldnt be out there on the market without an item paired with it. i think self explanatory why.

1 happy thanksgiving
2 I believe this is against Ebay policy and is Steiner makes them aware of it it should be pulled
I will email them a link
They are on it
I don't understand why someone should be prevented from selling this item...the reason for the sale is plausible, and, if someone were to purchase a Jeter bat without a Steiner hologram on it, buyer beware...the item is not misrepresented at all, and, I don't think there is any bad intent..JMHO.
1 some Jeter Signed LOAs were stolen in the past
2 I believe it is Ebay policy that signed LOAs without th item is not allowed to be sold
3 it can lead to a forgery that Steiner will end Up being blamed for
Agreed. Many years ago, a dealer at a Rosemont show with contracts with several NBA stars accidentally left behind a stack of about 20 LOAs, which he had already signed, but which had no items descriptions. I came across them, grabbed them, and sent them back to the dealer. Too much that is bad and even criminal can come out of unauthorized or separated LOAs.Quote:

Here is a thread from a couple years ago addressing the same concerns. Not sure what was done by ebay.
it creates a tremendous potential for fraud. the item the letter could be paired with could be a fake jeter, but it would now have a letter which says it is legit.Quote:

a "buyer beware" mentality only perpetuates fraud in the hobby and hurts everyone involved in it. so much of this hobby depends on trust and honesty and anything that can compromise that cannot be tolerated.
I understand all of that, and, marketplaces can certainly ban certain classifications of product on their sites...but, if an item hasn't been illegally obtained, there are any legal reasons that it cannot be resold?
There is an argument that the LOA does not belong to the seller, but to the current owner of the bat. It is a document of ownership, not a piece of memorabilia, and maybe a legal document at that. An effort should be made to contact the owner of the bat, or did he lose that info also?
unfortunately Steiner did not have the foresight then to use matching holograms...
Doesn't look like ebay pulled it.
I bet they could care less.
Now, if you ask someone to go outside of ebay, expect a harsh warning within an hour. lol
Let me ask the Forum this; the owner of the bat sees this thread, contacts the seller and asks for “his” L.O.A; does the seller have to give it to him?
Good point....
i dont think it is illegal to sell by itself, but it certainly creates the opportunity for fraud down the line. i highly doubt someone is buying the LOA in order to frame it and say they have a jeter autograph. i believe that it will inevitably be paired with a bat - whether that bat is a legitimate bat is another story, and therein lies the problem.
in my opinion, steiner should do whatever they have to do in order to reobtain the letter. if that means winning the auction, they should do so.
Looks like it's gonna sell.
Despite the valiant attempts to end the auction. LOL !
Ebay just doesn't care.
Look at it this way, when it eventually comes up for sale, and it will -assigned to a fake Jeter bat-what a great story we'll have. Does anyone know the seller? Does his other (and past) items suggest he might visit GameUsedForum?
what are the chances the LOA from ebay has been paired with this? same year. the ebay auction link doesnt work anymore, did anyone save a photo of it? the steiner hologram and 2 certificates otherwise are correct for what you would expect to see from steiner on the bat. interesting question - no harm no foul if a signed LOA from a different bat is paired with a legit bat?
also - anyone ever see jeter use a bat with gripping like that? i skimmed through 2008 in getty and saw nothing.
