This is the best way to spend a whole paycheck. It's very addictive. There are so many incredible items in these auctions. It really makes you question if you really need to pay your bills. What an incredible business full of wonderful memorabilia. Great work pristine.
Don't waste your time with this auction site. Their prices are way to high as it appears that there are artificial bids to drive prices up especially in coins and bullion (gold/silver). You can go to local stores or reputable online sites to purchase items at 20-50% less and sometimes even a 100% less for identical items. It's unfortunate this happens but no one who even follows gold and silver a little would not bid on items that are 5, 10, 20, and even 50 dollars over spot price regardless of numismatic value.
The amount of memorabilia, from celebrity, sports, other and art from pictures to pottery
Is amazing. All items documented as authentic from trusted certifying agencies. On top of all that great prices with no reserves. Does have a 17% rate buyer's premium which seems a bit steep, however find acceptable with most auctions based on current market value of pieces being sold.
I have won a few auctions on this site. I am very satisfied with the merchandise. They come with certificates of authenticity. Showed up in reasonable time. Nice you can choose to have framed. I haven't done a frame yet but will soon. Everything is packed well so nothing shows up damaged.
I won an auction on Sunday 10/2, Tried to pay and had a problem, no place to list the promo code. E-mailed on the website "on line chat" 3 times and no reply. Chat just says they will be in touch... Tried to call and they do not take calls. Today is 10/4 and still no response... I don't understand... Update... Delay was due to them being closed on weekends and playing catch-up early this week... all good now. Bob
I gave a three star because I'm about 98% that they bid you up. Also your gonna pay more usually to win a bid. I've done business with this company for about three years. One of my packages was lost or delivered to the wrong address and since then I get charged out the a** extra on top of their 17%. Not once has my delivery guy make me sign for my package and I get charged for it.

I have literally lost 1000$ with these guys. I bought 4 mystery boxes and 2 were baseballs. The bids go high but you get complete garbage. One of the mystery boxes I paid 250 then had to pays that made it 259 and not one card is worth over 5$. I literally just put my money in a trash bin. None of there mystery boxes should be this bad. Everyone I bought was. I am including a picture of what I received in the 250$ box that I paid 292 for. It's a complete scam. They make it look like you can get good cards but they send trash!
There tracking tells you one thing but the courier does another
Said they made attempts to deliver on tracking but I saw or had no notice left behind.
Rather I had to pick up my order at post office. UPS service sucks
Tried returning jerseys with wrong sized numbers, colors, and sizing. Looks horrible and won't do anything about it. Costumer service is bad and took five days to get an answer that they won't do anything about my issue.
I have made a lot of purchases from this company and I can say they have gone down hill lately. It took them 2 weeks to finally address my concerns after many messages. I understand they have a huge volume of customers but it's the little guy's like myself who keep them in business.
As long as you read the descriptions and look at photos everything is great, owner very responsive, since items come from consignors sometimes there can be problems but usually handled well by customer service
A lot of people don't know this, but they ship FAKE jerseys. These are NOT authentic. Also, it took nearly a month for it to be delivered. Very disappointing experience. Tried to return and customer support was extremely rude.
I have won many autographed items that worked perfectly as birthday gifts and even got something for myself at a very low price. The packaging was perfect to secure everything and delivery was quite speedy. I am almost bidding daily on items. Glad I found this site.
This is a great site to win COA props and memorabilia. Great for collectors of just about anything. Customer service is spot on, quickly reply's back to questions, and the owners are genuine guys. A lot of free give always each month and with won orders. If you haven't checked them out yet do it!
Pristine Auction is a good website. I recommend it to anybody. Great customer service fast shipping, Great web site, happy with item I got. Displayed in my bedroom perfectly.
Once you have won an auction, they are quick to ship. Only one time did it take a while to ship (5 days), but when I contacted them about it, they replied swiftly and product was shipped the next day. Awesome.
Got my photo in the mail a day before expected! Thanks. I've known about pristine auction through the fantasy footballers podcast. Great guys I'll tell you what. When I went to the site I was blown away with all of the memorabilia they have to offer. Great site don't hesitate. Check it out today
These folks at Pristine Auction are classy, straight forward and customer oriented. They take great care of whoever may be interested in doing business with them and they make sure to go above and beyond for each and every person!
If you win an auction for 60 bucks, expect to spend about 90 bucks for that item after their ridiculous charges and horrible shipping fees. They manipulate their reviews by offering entries into free give away drawings got positive reviews
Got a little carried away on my first bidding day... ended up with five items... and am very happy that I did. Shipped and received as promised. Only complaint is COD with UPS can only be paid with cheque or bank draft... which is not a Pristine issue but a hassle nonetheless

Answer: Thank you Chris! As we are consignment based normal wear is expected with items such as this. We do not produce the majority of our inventory. It is common for consignors to hold signing with athletes and have the decals signed and placed on after for efficiency reasons.
Answer: Hello Chris! Thanks for reaching out to us, all full size helmets come with decals if this is what you are referring to. Do you mind give us an example as to what you are referring to?
