Mark Buehrle Signed Photo - 8x10 No Hitter Pump Fist w/

  Product Info:

Mark Buehrle is a pitcher at the very top of his game. The Chicago White Sox selected the lefty in the 38th round of the 1998 Draft and he made only 36 minor league appearances before taking the mound for the big-league team on July 16 2000. Since then he has been a model of consistency and durability pitching at least 200 hundred innings a year from 2001-2006. Buehrle has also earned himself some serious immortality as he played a key role in the Sox winning the 2005 World Series and on April 18 2007 he threw a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. The no-no was the 16th in team history the first at home since 1967 and Buehrle actually faced the minimum number of batters as Sammy Sosa reached on a walk and was promptly picked off first base by Buehrle. Mark Buehrle has hand signed this 8x10 photograph and added the inscription 'No Hitter 4-18-07.' 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.
