Coach's Corner Ruth / Gehrig Autographs PSA/DNA

Big Dave · #1 09-13-2012, 12:03 PM

Lance wins the prize. You are correct as the original letter came from the Heritage auction, and as you stated, these are not the Ruth and Gehrig autographs shown with that letter.

Good job Lance!

I also wrote CC and explained the situation to them, along with a link to the original auction at Heritage. Will see if they remove those two auctions, or at least the PSA certs.

Description from the Heritage auction. Exactly as the letter shown on CC.

-----------------------------------------------

Description:
1934 New York Yankees Team Signed Autograph Album with Ruth, Gehrig. Though this edition of the Bronx Bombers did not capture the American League flag, it stands in history as one of the most noteworthy due to its status as the last to feature the rotund Ruth. The Babe appears as one of twenty-six signatures from the '34 Yanks, his blue fountain pen ink rating 8/10, alone on a removed album page bearing a clipped newspaper image of his perpetually smiling face. Also standing alone, and similarly decorated, is a page featuring Gehrig's 9/10 ink offering. Still housed in the album are pages for Sewell (9/10), Combs (9/10), Gomez (9/10), Ruffing (7/10 due to some staining), and Joe McCarthy (9/10), who shares space with Bump Hadley and one other. A few scattered autographs from visiting players share space within the antique volume.

Gang of rotten, conniving weasels.

Remove the auctions??? This will happen either when I'm riding my flying pig or ice skating across Hell! Has anyone EVER seen CC remove an auction?

Ken, Wanna race our flying pigs? I have called CC out a few times about certain lots and they do NOTHING. It's all about the buck. They don't care as can be seen every single month with the stuff they are pushing.

I think they would quickly remove an auction if they discovered the item was genuine, but that would bring us back to flying pigs.

This is a good example of why auction loa's are totally worthless.

JimStinson · #7 09-16-2012, 06:32 PM

Totally silly thread, Like asking Al Capone to "please do the right thing"...Come on ......If its a bogus COA its the job of the person who's name is on the COA to attack it and correct it. If they don't that should speak louder than words

Big Dave · #8 09-19-2012, 06:46 PM

Well, believe it or not......

The Ruth and Gehrig have both been pulled from CC auction. Now you can believe in miracles.

ss · #9 09-19-2012, 07:17 PM

Meanwhile, does anyone else thing the Ruth and Gehrig looked really good?

That tells me they may be authentic. They are going to sell them in an auction that will bring real money. Just my opinion.

thetruthisoutthere · #11 09-20-2012, 04:46 PM

They are both fake.

This would be based on the premise that CC doesn't know that what they sell is fake well before they list it for sale.

I believe that premise to be false.

Has anyone reached out to psa on this. What can they do about this. It reflects poorly on them that someone is misrepresenting there certificate.

Big Dave · #14 09-13-2012, 04:23 PM

I received this reply from CC.

===========================

we looked up the info. and are removing the items from the auction. Thank you again

They will still show online, but we are protecting the bids.

===========================

Not sure what they mean by this, but since this reply, more bids have been placed on these two items. As far as ever removing an item from their auction, I was successful one time. Pointed out a Babe Ruth signed dollar that was not manufactured until the 1960s. They actually removed that auction.

earlywynnfan · #15 09-13-2012, 09:11 PM

I just bid on one, and it allowed my bid. I tried to call today, but no answer. I'll try tomorrow.

Ken
