Response from Tom.....
Hi James,
* *Thanks for your e-mail. Yes, we are quite aware of Morales and his reputation in the hobby. The running of such an ad was due to poor communication to say the least and won't be happening again. Thank you. Tom Bartsch SCD

How about desperate for advertising? I would bet if they were not called out on this by Net54 that CSC would have had a chance to be a regular advertiser. Not that it means much now, considering their subscriber base is probably 5% of what it used to be. Good work guys. Good to see that people are taking action.

Richard,
I couldn't agree more...The company is struggling and a paper medium is dying. I have to assume they will try to figure some way to take money from csc.

If HOFAUTOS is correct that CSC Collectibles was advertising in SCD last year, I think that speaks volumes. |

This company has way more than 1500 signed ali signed photos in my opinion, about 40 or 50 different poses, multiple sizes. they must have thousands upon thousands, they have them authenticated by burczyk, morales, stat, and maybe gai.
for them to claim they are 'scoreboard' ali's is laughable. they don't provide any scoreboard certs, even though those aren't proof of anything, they don't have any, they have equally worthless burczyk certs with no pictures or matching stickers, no chain of custody.

And take a look at this FUGLY Koufax ball from their website.
Man wouldn't you just love to have this on display? Samly Koufx? And it is $150 on the website. Guess you should order through the SCD ad if you want the good price . This is so painfully drawn, looks like Samly is only making about $30 an hour .

The real Sandy Koufax is getting $350 (?) per ball.
If those autographs are real we can break the company if we all order baseballs . But this is signed by Samly Koufx so I am sure Samly is much less expensive than Sandy.

Mr. Bartsch never replied. Then earlier this year I noticed the CSC Collectibles full-page ad. I emailed Mr. Bartsch about the CSC Collectibles ad and never got a reply. James Graham, a Net54 member, did receive a reply. Yes, I bashed SCD fervently during my days of my YouTube videos. They deserved every bit of bashing they received by myself and others. Mr. Bartsch replied to James Graham with The running of such an ad was due to poor communication to say the least and won't be happening again. Well, Mr. Bartsch, it did happen again. Poor communication again? Are we to really believe that? Last edited by thetruthisoutthere; 08-01-2012 at 12:30 PM. |

I talked with a former staffer at SCD recently, and he told me how draining it was to check his values at the door and watch CC get so much advertising. He realized his paychecks depended on garbage. He said the whole feeling at the place was depressing.

I just spoke with Tom, and I hope he doesn't mind me coming on here to share. I get the feeling he likes these ads just about as much as we do, but he's locked in a battle with the advertising department (which does pay the bills.) I don't know the business enough to say which department has more power, but I'm sure a hefty check makes a strong point.

If Mr. Bartsch hates those CSC Collectibles ads as much as we do, he's certainly not going to post that here. I just can't picture him coming over to explain those full-page CSC Collectibles advertisements. I will also state that SCD Magazine has the right to accept any advertising they wish, but in the eyes of collectors, it doesn't make them look good. Sad. |

With the circulation of SCD their ad rates should be about $50 for the back cover.
