CCSA-How? Explain to a newbie.....
Posted By: Kyle
As a newer collector/hobyist, How does CCSA get away with it month after month with that many lots/bids? And agreed-are they using a polaroid? |

That you gotten away with something so far, doesn't mean you'll get away with it forever. |

I don't understand what you mean by "polaroid"? |

There pictures-I was being sarcastic. Poor attempt at humor on my part. |

I understand what you meant. Polaroid, as in all those terrible family snapshots. |

SHOULD do something about it but they are the single largest advertiser to the magazine. |

I did the only thing I could do in my power, I cancelled my subscription a few weeks ago and now just check on-line. That's only about $40 a year but if they lose a few thousand then they will be out of business. I had a subscription since the 1980's. They just don't listen at SCD . They have to know about some of this stuff. |

Sometimes when I'm bored I'll post snide CCSA-related comments on the SCD blogs. They generally either ignore or delete 'em...Noticed some other merry pranksters were doing the same thing. Got a real kick out of a Bloedow entry once, some guy (not me, I'm not that good) made him get real defensive. |

I got a kick out of Steve noting that he doesn't have time read everything. What's it down to? 30 pages on non-CCSA weeks? I found the urban dictionary definition amusing beyond belief! Thanks for sharing. |

With so many people complaining about Coach's Corner here and other websites you would think the authorities would be looking into them, Stat and Morales. I think their auction last week ended with a Cy Young ball going for less than 500.00. |

I guess since the hobby is unregulated, there's nothing than can be done. |

My favorite is the opening statement as the auction just concluded..."Congratulations to all the lucky winners!". |

Radbourne's signature is rarer than Joe Jackson's. $277 might cover the shipping and insurance on a Radbourne signed baseball. |

Two known verifiable Radbourne/Radbourn signatures versus perhaps fifty Shoeless Joe Jacksons. The demand is obviously in Jackson's favor, but Hoss is one of the true cornerstones in a HOF signature collection. |

Can you tell me a little more about these two "existing" Radbourn signatures? Where are they? Who has them? Any public sale prices? How much is a Radbourn worth...if it was sold publicly in say Mastro Auctions? |

I assume not quite as rare Radboure, but King Kelly's signature is also very rare and I saw one in a Mastro auction a few years back. It's not coincidence that both died in the 19th century and were down and out in the last years. Radbourne lived his last couple of years as a reclusive basket case after a disfiguring hunting accident Kelly died a drunk at 36. |

Actually, Kelly is right on par with Hoss for rarity. There is/are only 1-2 verifiable example(s) on him as far as I can recall. |

Pardon my ignorance concerning CCSA but are many of the items in their auctions bogus? I've read a couple of posts concerning Morales' authenticating skills but should I avoid bidding on all of their items? |

Yes. Even if the item is (gasp) legitimate, I would advise against doing business with the devil. |

Whether or not an item is legitimate, realize that if you try and sell it the potential buyer may ask you were you obtained it. |
