I purchase 3 items from them.
(1) - Michael Jordan Autographed Jersey
(1) - Kobe Bryant Autographed Jersey
(1) - LeBron James Autographed Jersey
Each of these had a description saying:
"We only sell memorabilia from reputable dealers likes JSA, Beckett, Upper Deck, Steiner Sports, TriStar, PSA/DNA"
When I received these items, the Certificate of Authenticity was generated from Lando Authentics. Never heard of them. So, I had sent them 3 emails addressing the authenticity as to whether those signatures were authentic. Finally, on the third request, the Bill White ([email protected]) replies with, "All autographs, whether Lando, JSA, PSA, Beckett and so forth come with an authenticity guarantee and certificate of authenticity stating the item has been reviewed and deemed authentic. Lando Authentics works close with PSA so you're welcome to send it in to them and get a second certificate of authenticity if that helps."
So, I did. Paid over $500 to get these three jerseys authenticated through PSA/DNA and paid for the rush fees. After careful inspection it was deemed that ALL THREE ITEMS were not authentic and did not pass PSA/DNA authentication.
I've replied back to Bill White explaining that to him and he responds with "PSA is not a reputable company according to the FBI and better business bureau."
Then he proceeded to threaten me by saying that "do we need to send you to collections, send an extraction team to your house? You tell us buddy..."
This company is a fraudulent company. I am grateful that I found this place to express my issues and concerns and in hopes that my troubles will no longer be someone else's as they SHOULD NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. PERIOD.

Initial means of contact Website
His gmail account seems to work (when he wants it to) but the phone number he uses as "contact info" is actually a 1(800) number for a sex talk phone line. As of this post, it was 1-800-979-2232. The phone number has changed several times and his business name continues to change as well (i.e. Lando Authentics, Lando Sports, Lando Sports USA). Typically, if you can't speak to a seller on the phone and/or don't know their first and last name...those should be huge red flags.
Nearly all of the images of sports memorabilia on his website can also be found on reputable sites. So he doesn't actually possess the items in most cases. Its a classic "bait-and-switch" scam. If you are one of the lucky few that actually receives something in the mail, it won't be what you expected!
That brings us to the all-important REFUND POLICY. He put a ton of work into his refund policy. It has more fine print than most credit card agreements. Just a portion of the policy is posted He simply refuses to issue refunds if an item was "on sale". Which is shady...especially since 99% of his items are ALWAYS "ON SALE". So if you get something that isn't as described...you better hope it wasn't "on sale".
In the unlikely event you did pay full price, don't get your hopes up. This guy has a Plan B, C and D to screw his customer's (victims) over. It's either "you gave him the wrong address" or the "package was lost in the mail". And yes, every eventuality is covered in his absurd refund policy. Bottom line: you're not getting a refund, so if you did get something, you're one of the lucky ones! It's almost certainly a fake...but hey, it's something!
Like many scammers in the sports memorabilia game, he does some actual business (on low priced items) to give the appearance of legitimacy. In fact, one or two of his "testimonials" may be legit. Bust rest assured...Lando Sports USA is NOT! General rule of thumb: When the seller has an "Under New Management" icon directly below his contact info...you may want to steer clear!
Apparently he's been doing this for quite some time. The authorities have been notified. If he took you for a ride, please contact the local authorities and/or the FBI Office in your area. Guess that scam people during a pandemic better get used to confined spaces. Don't let this waste of space take advantage of you or anyone else looking to purchase authentic memorabilia. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
