I think there is one truth here and I don't know who to believe. Do you honestly want us to think that Coach's Corner didn't like the fact that collect.com was going to compete with them? Do you also honestly think that they weren't getting fair market value for their items because of SCD and their shrinking circulation and now low ad participants (because of CC?), or did the consumer just smarten up and realize that most of the items that they sold, were found exclusively in that auction and the word "rare" meant something entirely different to those folks. If SCD claims to have kicked out CC but CC actually left on their own, there should be no praise for SCD for doing the right thing. I also don't think the phones in their lawyers' office are chirping. There have been a number of threads, articles and videos and if they haven't gone after those folks, you think they want to open themselves up here? Nah. I think it's a mess for SCD which murders trees weekly.
