Devilsguy Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 8 hours ago, TheKevinShow said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited June 12, 2019 by NYIJM29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Thrill Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsguy Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 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.
