Re: Anyone bought anything from Coaches Corner?

How does Coach's Corner get away with selling fake autographs for all of these years? Shouldn't they be shut down, and out of business by now for making money off of forgeries? Or are they still around because no one has done anything about the fact that they are selling fakes?

The minimum bid was 2000.00.

The last bid was 9000.00.

Add 15% BF and the final price is 10350.00.

Notice that the min bid of the PSA ball is $9,000, where it would be like $200 if it had an LOA from their usual guys.

The Slaughter looks decent but was a bad choice. It was added many years later in modern pen and his signature isn't worth that much anyway. Lowers the value because it's out of place.

Was the ball legitimately graded by PSA? If so, what exactly did PSA say? (the writeup was a bit funny) If this is a legit PSA-graded ball, I don't feel that Coaches Corner is in the wrong.

This is from their Friday auction.

Enos Slaughter was 16 in 1932 and had yet to begin playing in the minors even at that point and I do not believe blue sharpies were invented yet. Which means Enos signed it after 1932. Which raises the question if the ball were real why would you add an Enos signature to a Ruth/Gehrig ball? To me it looks like a waste of nine grand.

Re: Anyone bought anything from Coaches Corner?

I will never EVER buy anything from themn again as I think 75% of their stuff is crap. If they didn't keep SCD in print I would think they would be banned from there.


Don't buy anythign from them. If it's too good to be true it is.

FWIW, Coaches Corner hasn't advertised in SCD since last summer (debateable whose decision it was)

Re: Anyone bought anything from Coaches Corner?

I had some huge problems with them in '08 and early '09 regarging a bunch of stuff I bought from them as fakes. They eventually took teh stuff back but took awhile to get my money.

A friend of mine bought a lot of stuff from CC. Befroe letting me know he purchased about 20 auto's. A few months later at a card show in San Jose, we has PSA take a look at the lot. They all came back fake and he paid over $150 bucks to be told he bought crap.

It wasn't directed at you are an other individual here.

I was just saying that I've just never understood people who deal with sellers they know are dishonest, than are surprised or angry when things don't work out as expected.

Re: Anyone bought anything from Coaches Corner?

If you are of the opinion a company is in the business of cheating people out of money, why would you be willing to take the chance of sending them your money in the first place? It's like saying about a neighbor, "I knew he was a liar and a thief, but didn't think he would welch on the money I lent him."

If this was directed at me, the reason was because this happened 5 years ago when I first got in to collecting. At the time, I had no idea who they were or what they were about. Thus, I found out the hard way.
