What i have always found funny though, is that for a "professional auction house" like Coaches Corner, that sells all these "great" pieces of memorabilia that are worth thousands upon thousands of dollars, they can't afford a decent digital camera to take nice clear pictures of their items. I also find it hilarious that they only post one picture of the item for auction and usually have this quick, 2 or 3 sentence description on the item.
Take this Picasso painting that is appraised at $119K, the auction states it has "all sorts of great authenticity added" but does not even list what type of "great authenticity" it even has.
How in gods green earth, these guys can get away with this crap for this many years now, i will never understand.

I hate to say it Bilko, but , being a Cynical person overall, I have some suspicions. To preface, I told the police in Manchester here about people potentially eating contaminated fish from a local pond here. Calls were also made to the CT Dept of Health and the CT DEP. Now, the police poo pooed it. Nothing to my knowledge has happened on the other end yet for warnings either.
My point in digressing a bit was that often Police. investigators and the like are generally apathetic to problems. This CC thing is a MAJOR problem for the greatest hobby and a huge industry IMO, esp at the levels of some of the items they "Sell as authentic".
I guess continuing to be a pain w the Attorney general or something is the only hope. Maybe they will get sick of people CONSTANTLY complaining and will do something to shut up the complaining parties, if nothing else.
Heck of a way to look at the world, and perhaps the Roache's deal too, but I really feel it could be the truth, at least in large part.
