SILVER SPRING, Md. – Has Richie Russek of Grey Flannel Auctions got a deal for you! From rare game-worn jerseys to vintage bats that helped shape the game of baseball, the vaunted history of sports holds untold treasures, and Richie, with sons Michael and Darren, is on the hunt to find them all in the brand new series All Star Dealers. The show will premiere on Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time.

As the show unfolds, Grey Flannel receives lots of items. Some are all-stars, poised to reap thousands for the consignor and Richie; while others get benched after being revealed as cheap knock-offs or having forged signatures. How can a collector separate the MVPs from the DOAs? That’s up to Richie’s army of expert authenticators. SportsCenter meets CSI as the Grey Flannel team uses detailed investigation methods and state-of-the-art tools to determine what items are the real deal.

“Sports is more than just what happens on the field; it is rich with emotion and history. All Star Dealers opens the door into the world of incredible sports memorabilia where every stitch and smudge tells a story, raising the stakes for buyer and seller alike,” said Nancy Daniels, Executive Vice President of Production and Development for Discovery Channel.

From the extraordinary — a long-forgotten Mickey Mantle autographed baseball, to the extraordinary — Mike Tyson’s cup — get ready to play in the big leagues with All Star Dealers.
