I guess Coach's Corner is useful for people who can't afford real autos to get started cheaply in the hobby. Then once you have money you can replace their stuff with real autos. In that sense CC is filling a sort of market niche, they should however just label everything as "reproduction" to be more honest. Maybe Morales's certs actually say in the fine print that the items are repros.
I hope your tongue is planted firmly in your cheek as you type that. For $28, I'll scrawl Cobb's name on a piece of paper myself to fill a hole in my collection. There is no excuse for knowingly supporting forgery, even at a low price point.
