EVERY Collectibles Category has Fraud Problems. And Some BIG Ones Too!
 
You wonder why the FBI hasn't cracked down on Coach's Corner as of yet?

They have much bigger fish to fry. A quote from the article...

The FBI’s Art Crime Team, launched in 2004, includes 13 special agents and three Department of Justice attorneys. To date, the team has recovered 850 cultural objects valued at more than $134 million.

And this article was from March 2008. So the $134 Million was just in FOUR YEARS!

Here's the link... http://tinyurl.com/2vnxykx

BTW... There's FBI contact info at the bottom of the article in case any of you guys are interested in reporting any cases of suspected fraud.

nice post
 
Nice post Jimmy. That is a ton of money. If anyone reading this knows of certain fraud going on in the sports memorabilia/card hobby it won't hurt to PM me or email me. I have some contacts of authorities that would be very interested and this could potentially expedite the process a bit. Always glad to help root out fraud in our hobby.
