I get auction notices from Artfact and this one caught my attention. It's a joke of an auction complete with a "press release" stating the inventory has been appraised at $7 million.
The first item I view in the auction list is a signed Ted Williams photo with a Morales letter. Then Mantle, Dimaggio, also with Morales letters.
Signed Ruth pants obviously from Coaches Corner. In fact the entire auction looks like Coaches Corner inventory.
Every item carries a $1000 "starting bid".. even a Darrel Evans signed ball.
I don't even know where to start but how does one try to stop this crap? I emailed the auctioneer with my concerns but don't expect to hear back.

PS. Leon, you can move this to the Autograph Forum if you want, that's where I meant to post it.
