Isn't there some procedure that leads to the authorities tossing them in jail?
What would you propose that "we" do, Scott?

As poster boys, we're only interested in discrediting and blogging. We're not into really taking any real action. LOL

Or you could try 1-800-catch-them-now and file a report.

I have no idea - perhaps the answer is that there is nothing that can be done. If that's the case, then I'm really sorry for the autograph-collecting hobby.

But I do know that thieves HAVE been caught, and there must be a process that led to that occurring. Was it just accidental? Did someone who got ripped off get really pissed and grab hold like a pit bull until justice was served?

I don't see an issue with Colossal ripping off idiots - not being cold-hearted, but I don't trust autographs anyway, and buying from someone like Colossal is the stupidest of stupid ways to go about collecting. But to me the bigger issue is that these items will end up back in the market under a different name, and someone legit will put their stamp of approval on them (accidentally, of course). I know from reading this thread that that is a big worry of everyone. Can nothing be done to stop it?

I have to admit, his coining of the term 'poster boys' was pretty funny. He's kind of laughing at our inability to take any real action. I'd love to see someone here prove him wrong.

FWIW, the man from Colossal told me they'd sell any consignments I have and I'd get 60% of the proceeds.

Also, most of these items are from Myron's collection (funny how nobody there knows his last name) and he's had much success selling in the past through, wait for it, Coach's Corner! (You can't make this stuff up!)

They actually told you that their commission fee is 40%??
Wonder who Myron got his stuff from???
What could he have paid for it to sell it at such bargain prices?

I can't believe how often the info on this website changes. Here is a quote from their current home page:

If you have any high-end autographs you want to consign, they must have a COA from a reputable 3rd party authenticator such as PSA, JSA, ACE, AAU, etc.

If I recall, none of the lots in their last auction had any COAs at all.

What? No faith in their own COA and letters from forensic examiners?

Perhaps the constant website updating is not actually in response to this board. Rather it is damage control for the suckers who purchased their autographs, tried to list them on ebay only to have them removed, did a simple web search and found this thread, and now they want some answers from Rick.

The game used dealers that have gotten in hot water have been charged with mail fraud. Is Rick skirting this by doing live auctions? Feds can't get involved if it doesn't cross state lines, right?

The postal inspectors are the tough ones. I learned the other day that there's no statute of limitations on mail related crimes.
