So, there’s a post on a NYR GW group saying that Steiner got bought out by Fanatics. Anyone hear about that?

I saw that too and apparently the announcement is going to be made today.

FWIW Brandon Steiner just sent an email out asking folks not to email his Steiner email address anymore and to use his gmail.

I’m dreading the day that they buy out MeiGray. 

I don't think that will happen; at least anytime soon.  While they are out to make a profit, they aren't quite as driven to that as others in the same line of business.  Really the only way I see Meigray selling is if both Barry and Bob decided to just cash out and retire completely.

And that's when you take over.

Steiner is not just game used though -- they have tons of athletes under exclusive contracts.  I am sure Fanatics is looking to grow Fanatics Authentics / autographed memorabilia.

The Steiner-Fanatics deal includes the inventory and some intellectual property. It does not include Steiner's athlete contracts

And he lives in the MeiGray parking lot, so he knows these things.

Still, they have tons of signed memorabilia in inventory. I am sure the game used is a small % of their business.

TJF is now on r/hockeyjerseys.

One more reason I shouldn't even bother ever looking there anymore.

I don't get it either. I mean all he does is sit on eBay all day long. Are people really that lazy nowadays? I got blasted by his followers once for stating this. Someone even tried to tell me that the guy has probably 'set up an API so that he sees all the good deals first'. Excuse me?

If it wasn’t for him, I’d also have one of those 2018 East MICs on my way. But instead, he needs to publicly announce every steal.

True, but like 99.9% of the stuff he posts is just garbage to feed the Thrift Store crowd.....

Well it does match the subreddit... quantity over quality.

TJF is a 20 year old college kid who considers $30 poorly customized Reebok replicas in size small to be "steals."  He appeals to high school and college kids who seemingly don't know how to use the search feature on eBay.

It's not hard to see why a subreddit inhabited mostly by that kind of crowd loves him.

For those who don't follow him, this is the kind of junk he posts
