Biggest? Fraud Case Ever in Ebay Sports History

Meh. Albeit large volume, that's only 80 bucks/victim. Now if those guys had conspired to trim one of the world's rarest cards and encapsulate it as an 8 instead of the A it deserved, that would be some serious s*&$.

They've been placed on probation and " they're co-operating " -- Note the last names . Witness protection program , anyone ?

Leon, the other site that I contribute to has been exposing that group for years.

They must have used dozens of Ebay names.

Ryan, the author of the below thread, has been posting threads on them for years.

That's probably what made it work for so long. An $80 autographed card or ball with a certificate of authenticity wouldn't get much scrutiny from an average collector or someone buying a gift off of ebay. And I doubt many people were sending them off to PSA to get them re-certified.

I'll bet Coaches Corner is into collectors for way more than 2 million dollars. When is it their turn?

They will just rat out everybody they know and get a slap on the wrist anyway so who cares.

EDIT It would be different if those POS actually got what they deserve.

Agreed. Which is why if I ever decide to start counterfeiting money, it'll the five dollar bill, all day long.
