CC auction up LIVE

[GrayGhost]

The monthly fun thread for all of us. Here is a GREAT item that I selected. ONLY Coach's corner would have such an amazing item. Not Lelands, not REA, not Heritage, not Hunts, Not Legendary, etc etc. ONLY Coach's corner, your specialists in RARE AND FORGED ITEMS. Enjoy all.

I love the descriptions of autographed balls. Satchel Paige: "certified as real by the team at Stat Authentic for iron clad authenticity" and the classic Babe Ruth: "precertified already by Stat Authentic and features their coveted letter of authenticity" What the heck does "precertified" mean? Certified before the forger signed it? "Coveted lletter of authenticity"? Coveted by whom? Very funny stuff.

They certainly wasted no time putting up this new auction, since the last one ended Friday. Are they doing more auctions now since they are no longer handcuffed (or associated) with that dreaded Iola, WI based periodical that calls itself "the voice of the hobby"?

I pulled this from sports-rings (as mentions of what's in this month's bad boy): Christy Mathewson signed stationary, Lou Gehrig signed jersey, Babe Ruth signed jersey, Jimmie Foxx signed glove, Honus Wagner signed bat, 19th Century signatures like Brouthers, Radbourne...

That Cy Young is funny, but I am waiting for the ball in one of their future auctions where he will sign it: "Cy Young, One Day There Will Be An Award Named After Me!". Does adding the year give this orb more reason for legitimacy?

But I guess if someone from CCSA's inner circle (or CCSA) themselves says it's good, shoot, it must be! Iron-clad! No reason to doubt the authenticity! Lee saw him sign it himself! Guaranteed Forever by Lee! Can be seen from 20 feet away! Chris works for the Secret Service! Ted and Jeff, one of them works for the Babe Ruth museum! And my favorite...DOUBLE CERTIFIED!

CC is the Swine Flu of the autograph hobby. You just cant get rid of them.

How much would a real Cy Young signed ball fetch?

Lot 35 is a Morgan Silver Dollar slabbed an MS 66 (Gem Uncirculated). But there is no name of any company, recognized or otherwise, on the slab. That's a home made holder, and I have no clue who graded it.

I ck'd current items and "prices realized"; didn't see one legit thing EVER.
Hell, even the graded cards are from services I have never heard of.
This is criminal.
