Bobby Schantz -- Former Major League Baseball Player
So bid with confidence on Bobby "Schantz" items -- just make sure any signatures include the "c" that most forged autographs from the former Athletics great usually omit.
In all seriousness, I hope that Mr. Shantz -- who is a great signer through the mail -- made out okay on his auction, and I trust his involvement with the company was all on the up and up.

Apparently Darren Daulton sold some of his items through them as well.
I wouldn't expect these pros to necessarily follow the hobby closely to know all the background info on Coaches Corner.
Bear in mind, some of the worst offenders in Operation Bullpen -- Stans Sports and B&J Collectibles -- also sponsored signings and salted their fakes with real items. They are duping the athletes as well to help bolster their credibility.
