MeiGray, known for its photo-matching/authentication services, has deals with the NBA’s Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers as well as six NHL teams.”We have seen a significant increase the last 12 to 18 months in private sales of this magnitude,” Meisel said. “Premium items are selling for multiples of what they did several years ago — and buyers and sellers want to sell them privately.”The buyer — represented in the sale by Curio Advisors — wishes to remain anonymous.”We chronicle, in real time, historic milestones and moments,” Meisel said. “Last year, we authenticated Alex Ovechkin’s jersey from his 895th, Gretzky-record-breaking goal — I literally took it off his back during the postgame ceremony, authenticated it and handed it to Alex. He says he’s building a museum in Russia when he retires.”
