David Ortiz Autographed Picture - 8x10 - ALDS GW HR

  Product Info:

David Ortiz ended the 2004 ALDS in Game 3 against the Angels. He virtually knocked the Yankees into history by slugging balls over the Green Monster the short fence in right or dumping one into center. And nothing changed once the World Series came to the Fens when Big Papi as Bostonians refer to him batted .308 with a home run a double and four RBI's. When the Series shifted to St. Louis Ortiz was put at first base to keep his big bat in the lineup. A questionable fielder Ortiz zipped one across the diamond to catch a confused Jeff Suppan dancing off third virtually sending all momentum to the Red Sox. David Ortiz has hand signed this 8x10 photograph of his ALDS Game 3 home run over the Monster. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.

“The Steiner Seal Means It’s Real” is the motto of Steiner’s memorabilia division, and every product they sell delivers on that promise.   Steiner Sports broke into the sports business world in 1987 and since then, the company has established itself as a leading supplier of authentic, signed memorabilia. Steiner has exclusive autograph deals with a number of athletes including Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, Tony Hawk, Johnny Damon, Joe Torre, Tiki Barber, Paul O’Neil and Curt Schilling. Steiner acquires its signed merchandise through paid athlete signings. Each piece of memorabilia is inspected for quality. If a signed collectible passes this examination, it is affixed with a Steiner Sports hologram in the presence of a Steiner Sports representative. Once the tamper-proof holograms have been affixed to the product, it is catalogued and inventoried. A notarized affidavit is prepared and signed by both the athlete and a company representative. This document records the date and location of the signing and includes details about the specific item signed. This document is kept within the Steiner Sports flagship office. After this, a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is created for the item. The Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is the size of a credit card and made of durable plastic. The text on the card reads, “This certificate is your assurance that the enclosed item of sports memorabilia has been personally signed by the state sports/celebrity/celebrities.” It also displays the Steiner logo, a facsimile signature of company president Brandon Steiner, and on the reverse include a hologram specific to the product as well as a description of the item and matching barcode. Some Steiner products, however, come with a card-stock COA rather than the card version. Once the COA has been issued, the item is secured within the Steiner Sports main office and is not handled again until purchase.
