Looks like the lucky winner got a steal on the witchs diaper on Coach's Corner for a steal price of 64.00. Of coarse buyers premium and shipping will get it to maybe 80.00. Nice bidding. Oh Brother.

Who the hell would buy that. RIDICULOUS fake.

And I missed the NY Giants ball w Mathewson for less than 400.00 ? How could I be so stupid?

Next month, who knows what treasures we will see listed. Im betting on a piece of voyage used wood from the hull of the Mayflower.

I've been wondering with whom I should consign my baseball signed by every member of the Hall of Fame.

Wow! Does it even have Fergie Jenkins?!?!

It has no Fergie but it does have a Cap Anson done in a blue sharpie. You don't see one of those every day.....

someone just posted a very interesting note on my blog. He added up the total revenue from the last CC auction and he says it came to half a million dollars.

If you multiply this by the 12 auctions a year, I guess we can conclude that the owners of CC are grossing 6 million dollars a year in revenue. I never stopped to calculate these numbers before. They are worse and more depressing than I ever could imagine. Please, we have to stop these guys!

Somebody should put together a Mad Magazine version of a Coach's Corner Auction. It probably wouldn't be that far off from the real thing.

GrayGhost · #9 06-22-2009, 11:09 AM

Yes, Mr. Bergin. That would be funny..

UPDATE: The next Coach's corner auction will be available for LIVE bidding on June 26. I for one, CAN'T WAIT to see the baseball autographs.

I heard rumor that they may have a ball signed "WM, Candy Cummings", curveball and dated too. Opening bid, for this ball valued in the very high hunreds to mid high thousands, is 9.99. BID NOW.

My "top all" bid has just been sent in.

sorry as this may seem repetive (I posted this in the baseball card forum too).

some of us floated around some numbers and came up with the fact that since CC has been doing auctions for 20 years, and they used to collect higher fees on their auctions, it is quite possible that they have grossed
over $100,000,000 since their inception.

Do you think a lawyer or law firm could start a class action suit for all the people who have been ripped off during the last twenty years?

With law firms getting from 20 - 33 percent of the collection they could easily make $20,000,000. How great would that be if this was the way to shut down those clowns at Coach's Corner.

Looking around the internet I see that If someone wants to start a class action suit, they can visit classactionconnect.com

I don't qualify as I have never purchased anything from CC.

What do you guys think? Is this a possible way to shut down CC?
