And yet another reason he won't make it to the Hall of Fame
I don't understand why he doing this over a couple thousands. How big are these memorbillia contracts?
That's some penny pinching cause I doubt he's making serious coin.
I'm going to explain to all of you one time what is going on here
Eli did nothing wrong
Eli Manning has a deal with Steiner Sports to produce a certain amount of "game worn" equipment per year
this amount that he is under contract to produce is ridiculous ... simply impossible to produce the amount to "game used" equipment within a 16 game season
so what these players do ... all of them ... they wear multiple helmets ... jerseys ... gloves ... socks .... cleats ... etc ... every singe game
sometimes they will wear these things for only warm ups and legally that is "game worn"
now, what happened here is some of the high end collectors that were receiving this equipment were complaining that the equipment looked brand new and were claiming it was fake
Eli was contacting the equipment staff for more beat up equipment to make these high end collectors happy... he thought he was helping actually
it was not fake ... it just was not used in heavy contact
all the items given by Eli were used under conditions contractually sufficient ... he wore them in uniform on game day ... that is all that needs to happen for it to be sold as "game used"
some of these guys are complaining that they got practice helmets because they claimed it had no communication device
first of all ... practice helmets have communication devices
and second they are not going to leave the device in for the sale
Eli did absolutely nothing wrong and this case is completely bogus
believe what you will
all I can offer i the truth
have a great day
