Local man says he spent $13,000 on fake sports memorabilia

Is pristine auction real

Does anyone know if prestine auctions is legit? I've wanted to get some Patriots memorabilia, but like they said there is really sketchy low prices, like $20 for a signed Edelman Jersey with 2 days left of bidding? I'm not sure which site to go to

Pristine Auction is very good

This is sad 😢

Where their's any type of money to be made theirs fraud. Thanks for the knowledge now I know to watch out

This is why prestine aunctions is the best cuz there legit👀

Just look at how shoddy the jerseys themselves appear. That should tell you a lot about the phony overpriced trash these particular merchants are dealing. Not to mention the BS statement from the general manager after not permitting the cameraman inside.

I trust the place where I get my chiefs memrobillia. They all come with genuine coa's

Yeah, wife knows better! Lol

Sweet lee t should be behind bars

That place looks shady AG

I am confident that all of my signed memorabilia is authentic because I went to shows/conventions and had everything signed in-person.

I just dont buy autographs. One time in 1995 I bought a Darryl Strawberry one for a dollar and an Andres Galarraga for a dollar also. And a Muhammad Ali baseball for 30, and a Dr J basketball for 40. That was it. Luckily later I met both Ali and Galarraga and got them to sign in person. Either get it in person or through the mail, but never buy it!!

Well sports are fake so he should feel like a total fool

I just buy from the teams website

dummy..just buy the knock offs

Honestly it’s ight if you buy fake things cheap. Buts it’s horrible if you put a lot of money on it and think it’s real.

anyone over the pond can you give me any sound advice to purchase a genuine ail signed glove in the US I've looked all over the net here in UK and they don't look genuine in all honesty many thanks

Is pristine auction real?

Bruh all the jerseys are Chinese knock offs too 😭

Sports merchandise does cost a fortune but I learned a long time ago auction websites can lead to fraud and this story shows it all especially when they went to confront the owner of Coach's Corner

Psa is known for its faulty authentication process. FBI should get another company such as JSA or Beckett to go check the sigs.

I hope he gets his money back

this must be my dumb ass dad

He's now clearing all of his purchases through his wife. Bwahhh hahah

Not popular but one reason why I love buying my memorabilia from fanatics. 100% authentic always

They said the guy bought from that corner store which they also showed the items come with a guarantee, so technically he could/should take it back where he got it.

The owner gave himself away almost immediately. If you know your stuff is real you would not escape into your building. You should be more than willing to talk to prove your credibility.

Yep all fake you know right away when he said I spent 15000 on all of it

Folks let’s face facts - COA’s are a dime a dozen.

Thats why if you buy online you go through pristine you have certificates for everything and a code you can scan to show the authenticity

It’s not uncommon for an autograph to be on a Chinese/knockoff item but it’s definitely where you have to check

Not only are the autographs fake, but those jerseys are also counterfeit

Lol who u want buddy I have them all I also have photos with every person

There is only one true autograph authenticator I trust. Myself as all of my autographs were obtained in person. I don’t somebody from a remote location to tell me whether or not my autographs are “real”.

That’s rough

Wow!! I'm glad I still have my autographed baseball cards to this day.

Sad scam artists have almost ruined a fun hobbie

If your gonna buy memorabilia I’d advise using like fanatics or something like that trusted websites

If all that stuff was real he wouldnt have spent $13,000, he would have spent $130,000. Coaches corner is 99% fake stuff

"Clearing all his purchases thru his wife" 😂

DO NOT buy any signed memorabilia without a COA from a reputable authenticator: PSA, JSA, Beckett are a few good ones.

wait, so his wife is going to tell him if he should buy something? That made me laugh. After losing 13k, I´m pretty sure his wife will get a "no" tattoo on her forehead to make things easy for him.

Coaches Corner 😂 scam city

Hahahah laughing at him

Lmao so what your saying he shoulda paid 100K for items and that woulda made them real. Hold my beer. So 13K fake, 100k. I got some special water I wanna sell you.

yeah when the auction house is made of tacked up plywood from the local landfill, that might be a clue as well

I WOULD NEVER BUY THIS STUFF ONLINE TO MANY SCAM ARTIST THATS JUST ME✌️THAT BELONGS IN JAIL

never understood how a franchise worth billions charge fans hundreds to wear their logo.....to advertise for them.....they gotta be laughing 😅😅😅
