I am sure all you folks know what a Certificate of Authenticity is. If you don't, it's the proof that an item/autograph is real. It could be a hologram or a sticker/card with an ID number that is logged into a data base. Steve Cohen through his private ventures company is part of a $700 Million buyout. Amazing. I have a suggestion on what to do with this at Citi Field. Open up a kiosk or a store front so folks can bring in their cards that they need graded to the stadium. Get an autograph from a player on a ball/jersey/hat at the game during BP, you can walk it to the kiosk and get it authenticated. I wonder if there would be a problem with that though with the MLB authenticator being at the games. It could be a legal thing, who knows.

I can also see fans starting to complain how the Mets haven't brought in any free agents yet and Cohen is paying money in part of this deal.
