Or as found on an insert in the pages of the NY Times:

"On the following pages, you'll find just a few of the one-of-a-kind Yankee Stadium items that Steiner Sports is offering in partnership with The New York Times Store. Significantly, each and every item has been carefully vetted by the Steiner experts using the company's proprietary methods of authentication. "We're not letting a lot of vendors sell this stuff because we're not secure that most would handle it with the respect and accountability we want," says Steiner. "So people aren't going to find these items in a lot of places." The Steiner Sports motto - The Steiner Seal Means It's Real - is much more than a slogan. It's a promise."
