Now I know where Coach's Corners crap goes

[thetruthisoutthere]

We need not forget the impulse buyers who buy crap that originates from Coach's Corner with COAs from a self-proclaimed "Forensic Investigator" named Christopher Morales.

The impulse buyers make that purchase based on the fact that the COA reads "Forensic." They equate the word forensic with shows like CSI. Those same impulse buyers are equally impressed with the words court-approved.

CHRIS Priddy and Ace...hmmm.

And . um. he learned to sign his name later in his playing days? Huh? And the ink dried about three months ago. COME ON

And just on page one. THREE Marilyn's, incl a ball w JFK, and a piece signed Norma Jean.

Honestly, its disguisting, disgraceful and hopefully some day the hammer will come down on these crooks and their crooked crap fake authenticators. It really p***** me off.

Yes, Scott, another piece of garbage authenticated by Chris "I Never Saw An Autograph I Didn't like" Morales. Think about the dozens of Abe Lincoln signed letters that Morales has "authenticated" over the years for Coach's Corner.

Has Morales as a "Forensic Investigator," ever asked Lee Trythall and Scott Malack where all of the vintage items he's "authenticated" originate from? Literally thousands of vintage autograph items that no one else could even dream of!!!! And that's only from Coach's Corner!!!!

And someone is going tell me that isn't a problem for the hobby!!!!! Seriously!!!!

From the portion of the link which is visible, all I saw was "Christ..." in the description. I was guessing Scott and Lee really did it this time, and turned up a nice vintage ink 2,000 year-old signature from Jesus himself!

Alas, just another Christy Mathewson instead - what a disappointment.

I think there is probably some merit to the argument that few, if any, go to Coaches Corner and unknowingly get fleeced. You'd have to be brain dead to look at that array of items and not be highly suspicious.

BUT, the issue is that the people who do buy at CC then flip these items in a less suspicious setting. Whether it's the quaint Mom & Pop second hand shop or Billy Bob's Good Ol' Boy Local Auction, eventually these items find their way to someone who is truly duped by the presumably honest seller and the "paperwork" that certifies it.

Coaches Corner is an example of hiding in plain sight. The middlemen distributors in Operation Bullpen were running around speaking in code and concerned their phones may be tapped. Coaches Corner just sits there for all to see and sells it month after month.

They sell it Steve, shovelful by shovelful.

Don't worry, Richard. We're almost there! Just a few more YouTube videos, and Coach's will be gone.
