Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   TheRealest is an online auction and memorabilia site that differs from many others in the way it stands behind the authenticity of items being sold.   For instance, says CMO Aniefre Essien….the estate of the late great Padres player Tony Gwynn, is offering items like a Golden Glove Award won by the Hall of Famer…

“Something comes from the field of play or from the stage, our authenticator sees it and they authenticate it without it ever leaving their line of sight.  And that’s when they apply our second factor, which would be our overt marking, which would be a hologram sticker that has a code and you can go up and look your item up on our Web site.”

Other markings are used as well, Essien says.  It is necessary because there’s a lot of fraud out there when it comes to memorabilia.      TheRealest is also features items from USHER and the Miami Heat at the moment.
