Why is this place still open? Endless supply of "signed" Beatles albums...autographed items that REAL auction houses can't get....and yet...Coach's Corner has them! What's next...a baseball "signed" by Jesus?
The owner gave himself away almost immediately. If you know your stuff is real you would not escape into your building. You should be more than willing to talk to prove your credibility.
hes a pos conman just like David Elkouby and Kevin Martin , DE was in prison late 90s cuz he stole movie props then arrested again 2019 theft/drugs by Burbank pd , all this info is online to read. KM has since 90s sold fake junk , Dodgers fake champ ring is a felony at 3k & abuse of Dodgers tm , I hope they sue the f out of him !
As someone thats been selling autographs for 30 years, and been getting autographs for almost 40, I can tell you what they said in this story is only the tip of the iceberg. The BIGGEST red flag should have been the prices he was getting stuff for. To have that collection for 13K should have been his biggest warning right there. The names shown in that piece ALONE should have cost around the 13K he said his entire collection cost, which we never saw 90% of.
Hi Canada have a question here. My brother just died leaving me with tons of sports stuff to sell. Just wanted to get your opinion. What and where is the best place to sell stuff like this?
I just dont buy autographs. One time in 1995 I bought a Darryl Strawberry one for a dollar and an Andres Galarraga for a dollar also. And a Muhammad Ali baseball for 30, and a Dr J basketball for 40. That was it. Luckily later I met both Ali and Galarraga and got them to sign in person. Either get it in person or through the mail, but never buy it!!
Even these reliable company, I’d prefer “witnessed” ones over “authenticated” ones since the witnessed ones have a representative of the company there to see that the item is actually signed by that player.
Sports merchandise does cost a fortune but I learned a long time ago auction websites can lead to fraud and this story shows it all especially when they went to confront the owner of Coach's Corner
@@beatlejim64 so let me get this right. In Philly some years back there was a father/son team who sold fake jerseys from China and got hit with $100K fines and jail time but these folks have been selling obvious China fakes with fake signatures at higher prices and they get a pass? Is that how it works in PA?
Jesse Garner 90% of coa's are fake. when i was younger i got in person autographs and gave my own coa, i know for a fact i never ripped anybody off (-: they all got the real deal from me
Go Sun Devils thats why i said 90 percent... the other 10% is obviously the top guys, even then i dont think the guys who bought the signed tobbacco cards that were proven forgeries based on before and after pictures feel too thrilled about psa right now 😂
Some evil people try to sell fake with the price of real ones claiming they are real. From now on , I prefer to buy fake from officialusaleague.com to protect myself from being cheated.
I feel bad for him but when the official sports have a website where they gather actual authentic pieces from dealers they trust its kinda hard to feel bad for his blunder. You gotta watch out and be smart.
There is only one true autograph authenticator I trust. Myself as all of my autographs were obtained in person. I don’t somebody from a remote location to tell me whether or not my autographs are “real”.
Ok that's great but not everyone has the time and money to travel to public signings to get autographs in person. I get most of my autographs ttm or order them from public/private signings.
They said the guy bought from that corner store which they also showed the items come with a guarantee, so technically he could/should take it back where he got it.
what good is a guarantee if no refund is paid out , Piece of the Past (more like Piece of S**t) refuses you refund and stiff you. Hollywood Show , same thing.
Coaches Corner Auctions uses very bad authenticators and most of the coa’s from PSA,JSA, Steiner, and Upper Deck are usually forgeries. I purchased two items from them before I new anything about the Autograph hobby. I collect autographs and most of mine are real, but you have to do your research and be your own authenticator get your autographs in person. PSA and other Third Party Authenticators do pass bad autographs. You can’t be 100% and mistakes do happen. I hope one day Coaches Corner Auctions will be shut down so no one will ever be ripped off.
Does anyone know if prestine auctions is legit? I've wanted to get some Patriots memorabilia, but like they said there is really sketchy low prices, like $20 for a signed Edelman Jersey with 2 days left of bidding? I'm not sure which site to go to
wait, so his wife is going to tell him if he should buy something? That made me laugh. After losing 13k, I´m pretty sure his wife will get a "no" tattoo on her forehead to make things easy for him.
Terribly made at that! What’s the point of spending more cash for an autograph if they’re gonna forge it on some crappy made jersey that you can spend $40 for on eBay or those China sites without the phony signature? I hope people do thorough researching when spending big bucks on travesties like these.
postersandstuff You are 100% right coa’s from JSA or PSA mean nothing if the autographs they authenticate are not real. Even Upper Deck made mistakes with cut Autographs purchased by PSA and JSA.
@@Wongwongwong10000 But the chances are very low that it is fake. Still if ur buying a jersey, JSA and PSA are the most trusted ones and will be 99% real
Well it sucks to find out you were taken and its fakes!! BUT, If you are collecting for the love of the game,players and pieces, the value should not matter or ever even play a roll!!! ALWAYS do your homework, learn the players signatures best you can and compare!!! If you do your best with this and you are NOT collecting for the value or the hope you make money some day on it, then it all really shouldnt matter! Get what you want because you like it, not the sexy value parts. Reprint cards cost less and look the same to display in your man rooms, fake autos look close enough and cost so much less, yet still display the same as the real deal would, only you now have more in the bank on top of the Foxx auto ball!!! Its all how one views it in the end, ok you know its fake ans you spent a fraction on the Gehrig ball but you can tell all your buddies its real, no one has to know unless you tell them!!! Let it all display nice and enjoy...it is all it should ever be in the first place! Some of the cost on real items is a joke anyways!
Stef great comment, what can U tell me about AUTHENTIC SIGNINGS INC..?? I'M ABOUT TO DROP SOME CASH ON A MARK WHALBERG SIGNED BOXING GLOVE from them. I've just started in this business for the love of collecting and some items I'll sell in future and keep the rest for myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Mat Australia
I've bought cards and autographs on ccsa and yeah I've gotten some fakes but I've also bought legit autographs. I never really buy from the picture lots. Non picture lots do have authentic autographs
anyone over the pond can you give me any sound advice to purchase a genuine ail signed glove in the US I've looked all over the net here in UK and they don't look genuine in all honesty many thanks
Fake jersey's too. Not just the signature's. Do your research and purchase through valid vendors. Do research on the sellers too. That said, there was a story done on vendors who are verified and they too are subjected to fraudulent items. The people who give out a stamp of approval at showcase events often don't have the time to look at the items, and just end up giving some vendors at the event a stamp/sticker of approval for their merchandise.
Lmao so what your saying he shoulda paid 100K for items and that woulda made them real. Hold my beer. So 13K fake, 100k. I got some special water I wanna sell you.
Fro Mehta others have told me yes because they work with psa, Beckett, Jsa, and sometimes fanatics which is partnered with every major sports league in North America
Just look at how shoddy the jerseys themselves appear. That should tell you a lot about the phony overpriced trash these particular merchants are dealing. Not to mention the BS statement from the general manager after not permitting the cameraman inside.
80% of signed items are fake on Ebay ! I know because i have a friend who sold like 500 fakes ! By the way, even PSA sells fakes! my friend sold a few fakes to PSA !!!
Maybe highly forged autos such as Mantle and Jeter are but I doubt 80% of autos on eBay are forgeries. But if you are buying one that's not certified by one of the big 3 authenticators, then there's a great chance what you are buying isn't real.
