Gridiron Authentics

By Dee Dee Smith

Gridiron Authentics (gridironauthentics.com), a fourteen-year old organization, is the parent company of Gridiron, Hardwood and Celebrity Authentics.  Gridiron specializes in football and hockey related memorabilia.  Hardwood focuses on the basketball market and Celebrity Authentics  deals in actor, actress and movie memorabilia. 

Although their collection of football memorabilia is much larger than that of either basketball or hockey, Gridiron still has somewhat of a small inventory.  Their product line includes items such as autographed photographs, jerseys and balls.  It does not appear that Gridiron sells non-autographed items.

Gridiron's inventory is divided by both team and player, but there is no inventory at all for some of the players listed.  Additionally, postings on the site are outdated.  One advertisement on the homepage welcomes visitors to meet the Gridiron staff at Super Bowl XLII, which took place in February. 

Transactions are conducted via a standard shopping cart and Gridiron assures its customers of safe ordering and privacy protection.

On the website Gridiron gives specifics about their authenticity process and the conditions of their signings.  Gridiron claims to sell only items for their private signings; thus further assuring customers that products are 100 percent authentic.  

Their return policy is not really clear.  The heading seems to suggest that items can only be returned if there is damage, whereas later some exceptions seem to be made.  Assuredly if items are damaged Gridiron will refund the customers money along with shipping charges.
