Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Dan, I agree that the entire thread is worthy of being carefully read. But if time is an issue (for you and others here), here is a brief recap...<br /><br />Much of the thread concerns Coach's Corner (who has been auctioning bogus and highly questionable autographed pieces for years). Discussion has revolved around how they are able to keep doing this without being shut down, who is providing these consignments, and who is actually buying them.<br /><br />The other main culprits are Sports Collectors Digest (SCD) for enabling Coach's Corner all these years, and Christopher Morales (who is the head authenticator for Coach's Corner).<br /><br />Much anger has been directed to SCD for turning a blind eye, and accepting the ad revenue (despite the obvious fraud).<br /><br />Regarding Morales, most have questioned not only his abilities as an authenticator, but his self-proclaimed credentials (which have been scrutinized, and exposed as being highly enhanced).<br /><br />There is so much more... in the spirit of keeping it brief, those are some of the main points.
