TL:DR – Bought VGK autographed Limited edition merch from Fanatics, None of it came with any Autographs. What should I do?
After a happy emotional night on June 13th, 2023. My Fiance offered to buy me some merch to remember the day. I planned out exactly how I wanted to decorate the wall in my office with tons of stuff. (Me not living in Vegas) purchased a few overpriced newspapers from eBay showcasing the day. Plan to get those framed as a centerpiece and purchased a few autographed plaques to go around it. I also have 2-3 autographed pucks I plan on framing. My Best Man introduced me to hockey in 2017 and VGK has been the only team that matters at all. (he’s a Sharks fan LOLOOLO)
Anyway, I bought my 2nd jersey. (the first jersey was a flurry all-black all-star jersey) and now a Stanley Cup Stone jersey. That came in with no issue.. Little tight but that’s on me and my eating habits. Today I just received my Plaques and am very sad and torn that (at least I ) don’t see any signatures anywhere on them. They are limited edition, I am happy with the number of placements for them out of 500, so I don’t nessisarly want to return them. but I feel really conned by this. Attempting to contact support, they said there’s a special department for that and transfer me to it. After 20 minutes of waiting, I find out they are closed.
Have any of you run into this issue? What should I do? Do I just accept it and remember getting lied to when I look at it? do I send it back and have a higher limited edition number? Did anyone else purchase these and have the same issue? Really just kinda bummed.

Yeah that seems wrong. In the title it doesn’t say autographed, but in the description it does. Which one is it?
It would’ve been more expensive if it was autographed. Definitely an error in the description, but the item header was correct I’d say.
In this specific picture it doesn’t say autograph anywhere…
On Fanatics if they sell an autograph they have a picture of the signature on the item, even if it’s just a digital rendering. That’s how they started selling all this stuff as soon as the game ended.
This is still a very very cool plaque. Adin Hill will be signing tons and tons of autographs for a very long time. But game used ice from the Knights 1st cup win? That’s on a limited supply.
I would return it. For what you paid, you can find an autographed Puck or picture of one of the players from the SC team. If an autographed item is what you seek.
I buy from Fanatics all of the time. I have never had an issue returning items. I do the online chat and let them know the issue and would like a replacement. They send me a label to return the bad item and I also let them know that I will not return until the replacement arrives. I had an issue with a VGK Stanley Cup picture that arrived with a broken bracket.
