Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was a joke. But if, by chance you're seriously contemplating a purchase, just supress the urge. <br /><br />You will see items go outragrously cheap on their site, and there is a reason... they're all fake. No matter how long this thread ends up going, I will be floored if even one supporter of Coach's Corner chimes in.

Posted By: <b>Richard Simon</b><p>They have had cut signatures of George Washington for their last 3 or 4 auctions. How can they get them? The big historic autograph auction houses never see that kind of volume for a Washington signature.<br />Could it be a private signing? <br /><br />=<br><br>I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.<br />Unknown author <br />--<br />We made a promise.

Posted By: <b>D. Bergin</b><p>About 10 years ago I bought a "Millers Crossing" (my favorite movie), movie poster signed by Gabriel Byrne and John Turturro from them. Not a big deal but I still have it after all this time.<br /><br />I never really researched the autographs but is it pretty much a given this piece is bogus or do they occasionally sprinkle good stuff into their auctions? I think it's the only item I've ever bought from them.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>CS Bolay</b><p>Hmm...it's possible, at least, I'm sure they might have some good stuff in there. However, the major items (vintage single-signed HOFers, rock albums, etc) are fake for the most part. <br /><br />Multi-signed movie posters are widely-forged, but these tend somewhat to be the huge releases (Star Wars, LOTR, et al) with most of the cast.
