New Roach's corner NEW YEARS AUCTION IS UP!!

[barrysloate]

I have a ball signed by Moses...maybe I'll consign it.

I'm not sure they are bidding high as these items command so little respect.

This will continue to happen until the Government recognizes that this is an issue. After all, we fish through the crap every month and we are no longer surprised by the large quantities of Babe Ruth's and Ty Cobb's or even Christy Mathewson's that we focus on the truly bizarre like...that person who obtained ship crew signatures and it just so happens, one of the ships became famous long after the fact and why not consign it to...Coach's Corner!

I thought the Bonnie and Clyde (which sold for $260, what did you say Ted on your page? If the price is too good to be true, it probably is?) was amusing, I can't wait for the next auction!

And they have sold complete 1919 Black Sox items in thhe past. They have no (that I know) sold any Button Gwinnett or William Shakespeare signatures, or any of the biblical figures like that elusive signer, John The Baptist.

THIS JOHN THE BAPTIST CAN BE SEEN FROM TWELVE FEET AWAY!

It won't authenticate, though, unless it's on a Pete Rozelle baseball

Jason- some guy found it in his grandfather's attic.

I heard next month will be a letter signed by Confederate General Pickett, dated July3,1863. Consigned by the Confederate Widows of Alabama (Darren Daulton's mom is a member, and he was so happy with his results he convinced them to consign to the Roaches).
The letter says: "I told Lee that this charge was gonna be a lost cause but that damn Bobby said go for it"
And this one can be seen from 15 feet away.

That's just because it's written in Sharpie...

I heard they found a wood stick dual signed and inscribed by Moses and P Ramses. Moses added "Let My People Go".

...but did Moses date it?

I've heard from a good source that Coach's Corner's next auction will be comprised entirely of Autographs from fictional characters.

Get ready for:
Superman signed pajamas
Macbeth signed human skull
Atticus Finch signed lawyers notepad
Keyser Soze signed walking stick
Sherlock Holmes signed pipe (well used, worth in the thousands)

The actual Pie from the movie "American Pie". Also, well used.

[RichardSimon]

Don't forget,, according to the description from the roaches the cut signature of Benedict Arnold is suitable for matting and framing,, just what I want on my wall, next to my Abraham Lincoln document, a signature of a traitor.

I often wonder how many legitimate items have been rendered worthless, simply because they passed through the hands of a Coach's Corner employee.

[barrysloate]

I often wonder how a company like CC can continue to sell this stuff for years and years and still remain in business. Why weren't they shut down five years ago? For them to keep doing this continually doesn't say a lot for law enforcement.

Newly found from a private collection. Going to headline the next auction.
