SCD, Coach's Corner & TS O'Connell

[sports-rings]

great idea but I heard if you give them a hard time at a show, scd has had people ejected from shows.

Yeah, I figured as much. Still, it couldn't hurt to at least complain to the show's management wherever they setup that they are allowing a corrupt enterprise (at least while there is still a relationship between SCD and CC) to have a booth at their show. If they are at Wilmington, I know I will at least do this, and encourage others to do so as well. I really appreciate yours (and other folks) efforts in publicizing these issues.

Kudos to Rob by taking a stand and not advertising w/ SCD due to its affiliation w/ CC.
As stated early I was a non stop subscriber since 1981 and stopped because of CC.
I doub't my $39 (or whatever the rate is) really hurts them.
But full page monthly ads by REA do indeed hurt the bottom line.

Looks like SCD will stay w/ CC as their ship sinks.

Can you provide any specifics or has your rhetorical arsenal degenerated from opinion to wild-ass rumor mongering?

I agree that none of the authenticators will guarantee that the items are authentic. It is who you can trust. Someone that is 2 percent correct or someone who is 85 percent correc.That is why Bob will not answer the question why SCD is not using STAT or Morales.

Try to understand that SCD and Collect.Com Auctions are NOT the same company, although they are owned by the same corporation. The Collect.Com Auctions website has a list of those autograph authenticators whose COA/LOAs are accepted for consignments. You'd have to ask the auction comnpany's management to be sure, but my guess would be that any "authenticator" not on that list is deemed to not have the accepted hobby cred to create the necessary level of bidder confidence.

Bob, correct me if I am wrong. You know that the left hand is allowing garbage to be sold but you the right hand is selling good items. This what SCD has done for the last six years. When I did HBO special your company allowed UDA to defend themselves I was not allowed to answer them because I was a felon. The problem was I was right and they where wrong. The reason I was not allowed to answer was that UDA was a huge advertiser and I was a felon . Again I will tell you that Rocky tried to get my statement in and TJ turned it down. It is the time for you to say what you really think about CC. I think it is time for the left to get in tune with the right and stop this garbage. i would also say to anyone on this site until SCD stops CC I would not support them in anyway.

So, by accepting the advertising of Coaches Corner, does the staff at SCD believe that their items and authenticators of their items have acceptable hobby cred to create the necessary level of bidder confidence?

So Sports Collectors Digest is a periodical, and basically has no affiliation with the auction company of the EXACT same name?

So you can purchase an item from an authenticator that SCD, the periodical "hyped up" from a company that has kept the periodical afloat all this time, but you are telling us that there really is no connection between the two, and there's a good chance that my item, that I won in the last Coach's Corner auction will not be accepted in the Sports Collectors Digest auction?

Mr. Lemke. You worked as the publisher for Sports Collectors Digest. How long were you at that position?

What can authenticators put in their certificates to appease the masses? It is after all an opinion, but what matters is what the educated public knows.
