Have you seen them in these settings? So few people know who Ross Youngs or Martin Dihigo are; it would surprise me to see those names at a charity auction.

Dave is correct. Anything those crums sell on their site, I have also seen at Charity Events that are posted online.

An acquaintance of mine thinks he is sitting on a gold mine with this stuff. He has kids that are my kids age and his daughter played on a team with mine. He told me about this collection with all these signed baseballs and invited me over. CC specials every last one of them. He probably thought he found some little corner.of the internet that noone else knew about and had struck it rich.

He was really proud of this stuff and I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. I didn't know him very well and had no idea how he would react. He wanted me to spend a lot of time looking but all I wanted to do was to get out of there. I don't have much of a poker face.

My website and internet ads gets frequent hits and I get offers on a daily basis.
I would guestimate that half a dozen times at least I have been offered, by individual sellers, crap from CC.

Its so mind boggling that these crooks have been able to operate this auction site for 20 plus years and absolutely nothing has been done to stop them. Even Operation Bullpen back in the late 90's didn't shut these scumbags down. Ever collector knows these guys are selling fake stuff and has been posted on sites
like these and the uneducated collector buys it and thinks they good a good deal on a piece of garbage. To me it's all about how there fake certs are worded that gets them around being held responsible and the same with all the authenticators with the wording like "In Our Opinion" or words to that effect. I know this has been repeated many times on here about CC and guys trying to get the FBI involved but it's like beating a dead horse and they either don't think it's worth the time or for what ever reason CC continues to rip customers off. I always see the Feds busting other crooks on selling fake stuff on Sports Collectors Daily website and some of the bigger ones like Mastro and his buddies but CC goes on and on. Can't figure it out. Even though the crap stuff doesn't sell for much in there auctions it's still enough for the 2 guys running the show to make a living cause they continue to be around and not sitting in jail.

I spoke with a dealer at a small local mall show in Eastern PA about a year ago. He had gone to a few "live" auctions at roaches corner (I guess that was a thing at one point). He had gotten to know one of them pretty well and he started to ask them about some of the autographs. He said the guy at roaches would tell him which lots to stay away from.

Disgusting.

That is enough to get someone nailed. He is admitting fakes are in the auction

No, that is hearsay. People on this board need to get a clue about what is needed to charge and convict someone of a crime like this. It gets tiring when people continue to bang the drum, but dont understand proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Trust me, there is no other person out there more of a hanging judge than me but I understand what it takes. Because we say so is not what it takes.

With that being said, I admit I find it very difficult to understand why CC is still in business with many other forgery cases out there. I have to believe the district where CC is located has zero interest in pursuing.
