Relationship between SCD and Coach's Corner
Posted By: Paul
There's been a lot of discussion in the past about Coach's Corner, and the fact that they seem to routinely sell autographed baseballs of guys like Josh Gibson, Amos Rusie, Jim Thorpe, etc. -- balls that should be worth tens of thousands of dollars if real, but typically sell in the high hundreds. There's also been a lot of discussion in the past about the fact that SCD lends credibility to Coach's Corner by running their multi-page ads twice a month. |

Paul- that is what is most troubling about your story. Ted Taylor is from the old hobby school, and it's hard to believe he is getting involved in such unethical behavior. |

I guess when your paper is hugging the rim of the bowl ethical behavior gets flushed right along with it!! |

Why would anyone be mad at getting a Ruth Auto Ball at a fraction of the cost of other auctions ? Is Coach's Corner a great deal ? Or is it fake stuff with no value ? That's why we send to a 3rd party to tell us if they think it is real. Why is PSA or Spence any better than Stat ? All are just opinions. Are some of these guys just better at promotion and marketing and others are not ? Or are some truly better and if so why ? Because of resale ! |

I used to think it was the bird**** on the SCD; we now know it IS the SCD. |

I think the people who run the Babe Ruth museum have no clue that STAT sucks. That's what I think. I doubt they're in the autograph hobby and they have no clue that STAT and Coach's Corner are the least respectable authenticators and "auction house" in the hobby. |

We had bought one 1955 dodgers autographed ball from Coach's Corner. In reviewing it, the authenticators mentioned that the writing on all of the autographs were slow and deliberate ... which as we know is totally not how people sign things. |

Mike, if an auction house is certain of authenticity but can't get 1/3rd the price of the same Ruth baseballs as at at Mastro or Lelands, wouldn't they simply consign all their Ruth autographs to Mastro or Lelands and reap the huge profits? |

...You also forgot to mention a couple of other things, PaulPaulPaul...Tuff Stuff is also owned by the same company that owns SCD and every month, they dedicate a full page to Coach's Corner and Ted Taylor breaks down the prices realized from their last auction. |

That title goes to the one who tried to auction off the "Ohio fake" Wagner - the one with the wrong typeface where the owners came on this board insulting people. |
