Christopher Morales Forensic Investigator

[danc]

Everyone would make a living buying from Coach's and consigning to REA if it was all that simple.

Last month they sold a 1925 New York Giants signed team mini-bat that sold for $551 with Morales LOA.

What could the consignor get for this if it was sent to Robert Edwards?

$30,000? $40,000? $50,000? Not a bad payday for doing nothing.

Coach's did state the value of this at "priceless".

We'll see how much the next one brings. :-)

I think they've confused "priceless" with "valueless."

And the next one, and the next one, and the next one....

Maybe Morales supporters will purchase the below Morales certed item presently listed on the Coach's Corner Auction site and prove to us that it is authentic:

A 1932 Yankees team-signed baseball. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, etc. Certed by Chris Morales, Forensic Investigator. Bidding is up to $386.00. A bargain so far. Are supporters and proponents of Chris Morales, Forensic Investigator, bidding on this ball? After they win it, will they consign it to REA, Heritage or Hunt for a big pay day?

Stop all you Morales bashers......

Personally, I would love to find a good item in their auctions, and flip it. Seems the good items go for a decent price when these show up, and you can't make anything.

This ball is screaming, "All these signatures were signed by the same hand!"

The Ruth/Gehrig personalized/signed Bat at the top of this thread is one of their better forgeries. This one could have fooled me, if I saw it in a reputable venue. Bet the "winning" bidder (and I put winning in quotes) holds on to it for a while and then flips it.

The rest are pretty obvious fakes, but someone really did their homework on the Bat.

Maybe Lee Trythall or Scott Malack of Coach's Corner can ask his consignor the provenance of the above Ruth/Gehrig signed bat and then pass it along to us.

I'd love to know the provenance of a bat signed by both Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig.

But then again, Coach's Corner has auctioned off well over a dozen Ruth/Gehrig signed bats.

What's the provenance of all of those bats, Mr. Trythall?

Well, it's not a generally known fact, but Babe and Lou were part of the first "Baseball's Heroes and Legends" public signing. This took place in October, and featured Babe and Lou, as well as Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Walter Johnson, and many other heroes. A "superticket" cost 5.00, which , tho expensive in those days of the late 20s era, entitled you to TWO autographs of each star appearing. Now, despite those limits, the Great Uncle of Mr Trythall was working as a ticket taker at this event, which I believe was held in Harrisburg PA (you could ask Lee, he may know the exact locale). Thusly, if there was "leftover" stock that the promoters had signed, Lee's great uncle Festus was alllowed to take the merchandise for a nominal fee. So, apparently, that is how these GREAT sigs got passed down, and today, are offered cheerfully by ROACHES CORNER. PURVEYORS OF MUSEUM QUALITY MEMORIES.

In all seriousness, that's funny, Scott.
