Devilsguy 0 Report post Posted June 3 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.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYIJM29 0 Report post Posted June 12 (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 by NYIJM29 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, they have tons of signed memorabilia in inventory. I am sure the game used is a small % of their business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devilsguy 0 Report post Posted June 18 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.
