I googled the email address and see it's the same address found on coach's corner's website, therefore I believe it's legit.

If you are interersted in seeing their reaction to our comments, please visit my web site www.sports-rings.com and click on the blog on the right.

thanks,

Mike the ring guy (sorry if this seems like self-promotion) it's not, I just was so outraged after SCD shut down the comments, I created a blog on my existing web site so we could be heard).

thanks,

I checked your blog and did not find an e mail from CC.

[sports-rings]

there are 2 or 3 posts from cc. they are in the last blog and threatning in tone.

thanks,

I seriously doubt those comments came from Coach's Corner....I also highly doubt that Bob Lemke posted that comment attributed to him as well. You'd be doing yourself a favor by having a registration process in order to post on your blog.

Dan you are correct, on the CU thread Bob stated that someone else posted those comments, not him.

Well then, I think Mr Sports-Rings should take down that comment...it's not fair to Bob to leave that up.

Let's see --

Everyone signed with the same pen

The player mix is interesting as Mathewson is gone by 25 and Handy Andy Cohen does not even come up to the majors till 28 IIRC. Someone had great foresight into whom to put on that baseball

Needless to say; seeing that scan was a great way to start the morning

Anyone working for SCD earns his livelihood from fraud, in effect as a co-conspirator. If SCD needs to accept ads from forgers to survive, it is a corrupt enterprise that needs not to survive.

As far as SCD and Collect.com not being the same company, don't insult my intelligence. Collect.com Auctions is trading on the SCD name; it therefore gets to take the heat for SCD's misconduct. They are owned by the same corporate parent, F + W Media; their profits (losses) go into the same ultimate pockets. The tag at the bottom of the Collect.com/auctions home page says "Collect.com Auctions powered by Krause Publications." The "About Us" section says in pertinent part "Collect.com is part of Krause Publications, which publishes SCD ..." Want more? Here is an excerpt from the May 29, 2009 press release issued to promote the first auction (found at http://news.prnewswire.com/ViewConte...34778&EDATE=):

"Many prominent auction companies have utilized our magazines and Websites to launch or expand their own businesses," said Dean Listle, Publisher. "Readers and fans told us there was an underserved market within the hobby. We have the expertise, reputation, and relationships to offer quality consignments. We set out to meet that need and in six short months we're holding our first auction. We are honored to be able to make the introduction of consigners to bidders, and as avid fans, are excited to see the amazing pieces available."


Krause Publications, home to Sports Collector's Digest, and Collect.com, is considered the most trusted resource for accurate pricing data and information covering a wide variety of collectibles from sports to antiques, toys, records, coins, and comics. Krause Publications is a division of F+W Media, Inc.

Why let a little thing like death (Matty) ruin a good time?
