anyone every purchase from this company?

[kevlar7]

I saw a few Gehrig and Ruth items that I may be interested in, but I'm curious to know if anyone here has ever purchased from them.

Thanks for any feedback.

Everything that I punched up on that link looks horrible. Coach's corner factory outlet perhaps?

I punched a few items up, incl One Jackie Robinson ball. Looks like garbage to me, and likely is either a CC Factory outlet, or the folks supplying CC with their garbage. JMO of course on this, Im sure many others will chime in too.

When you say "junk" or "garbage" do you mean fake? Also I'm not familiar with coaches corner. What can you tell me about them.

Thanks

There has been so much written about them... but fake/bogus autographs is all you need to know.

As for the seller in question here... none of them are real. Avoid both of these outfits like the plague.

Every "autograph" I looked at was a forgery.

(And a poor one at that.)

Semi related:

I was at Borders today, and saw a cool publication about Mantle and some of his rare memorabilia. Its in the mag section where the Beckett was. Anyways, theres a full page advertiser saying he uses only FDS people, and doewnt like "opinions". yet he has SEVERAL ITEMS by STAT (one of Coach's crooks) Taylor and the other guy. Pathetic. If you guys get to find the pub, check it out. I forget name, but its a magazine all bout Mantle and his memorabilia.

Kevlar, Coaches Corner has notorious forgeries and rare "autographed" items. Check out the crapola

Sounds like I should look elsewhere.Any suggestions on non auction sites to find vintage autographs and what should I expect to pay for a Gehrig cut signature?

I don't know about non-auctions sites selling those auto's but I am sure there are some out there. There are no less than 15-25 bigger auction houses (and ebay) that sell autographs and almost every one, if not every one of the ones at legit auction houses, will have a good COA/LOA with them. Certs aren't foolproof but if you stay with PSA/DNA or Spence you will be at least safer than without....Stay very far away from Coaches Corner. If you see something you like you can post it here and get a pretty darn good idea if it's real or not. Good luck in the hunt. regards
