It is my great pleasure to report the following regarding Coach's Corner.

ABC Action News Investigative Reports Philadelphia ran a blistering report on Coach's Corner Auctions on the 11PM News Nov. 20.

The culmination of an intense 3.5 month investigation, it's the fruit of the determination of Paul Wedding, a collector who lost $15,000 buying forgeries at Coach's Corner, to stop them from burning collectors once and for all.

And now, Paul Wedding:

I believe it was a few months ago I commented to the "What do you think of them," thread. Coach's Corner beat me as well as many others for a lot of money. With complete disregard for the hobby, they flood the market with counterfeit jerseys, counterfeit signatures, photos, you name it.

Collectively we all wanted to see the owners take responsibility for their actions. That has never happened. Till now.

Last week, The Coach's Corner building was bull rushed by my pal, Chad Pradelli. For those of you who do not know Chad, he is an investigative reporter with ABC news in Philadelphia. Chad and his crew beat on their doors until Lee answered it. Chad wasn't going to take any crap that Lee has been known to throw at people who question their garbage. It was beautiful!

Chad offered him the opportunity to explain himself on camera, Lee declined. The story will run this Tuesday evening, guys. From what I understand, other ABC affiliates are also picking up the story. I am also waiting for the Attorney General of Pennsylvania to assign an agent to my case. With this story running on the news, I believe that assignment is coming fast. 

Guys, this is the beginning of the end of Coach's Corner. I will continue to push every agency that will listen to me. I hope you guys (Coach's Corner) do read this. This will end with you in a Federal prison. And when you get out, you'll have lots and lots of people to pay back. What comes around goes around

Paul Wedding

Hello Fellas! I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving celebration yesterday. OK, I just spoke to Steve Grad. For those who don't know him, Steve is the authenticator on the show Pawn Stars, authenticates for Beckett. I send him the video. Steve said "They have sold 10's of thousands of pure fakes, they are crooks. I hope this story wakes people up, these guys should be in jail." Steve has thousands of followers. He has taken the story and the video and tweeted it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If there is more he can do with his social media he will, he wants to do more. "I did retweet it and it's a good start but I can't really do to much with it as it supports a competitor." I totally understand that. But I will take whatever Steve can offer, this is really BIG news as we take yet another step in shutting this place down. 

Paul, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving also.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for them.

The money they've (Scott Malack and Lee Trythall) made from the sales of forgeries/crap is incomprehensible over the past two decades. 

It really is, Christopher. In such a brazen manner, they have cheated people out of God only knows how much money, and then have the nerve to scold those who call them scum. When you said they lack consciousness, you were exactly correct. They don't feel at all guilty doing what they do, they're terrible human beings. This is the beginning of the end. And the end will come about much faster than all the trouble they have caused.

Steve Grad needs to fix his own authenticating problems. He’s no hero. He isn’t doing collectors any favors himself. The most overrated guy in the authenticating business.

+1

And yes Paul....many people here know about Steve Grad 

What I know about Steve Grad is this; He wants to see Coach's Corner severely punished for everything they have done, and he is willing to help in making that happen. I'm good with knowing that. The focus is on Coach's Corner, and what will happen to them.

We all hope so, Paul.

Nice job!!!

thanks Christopher!

Steve mentioned he believes Coach's Corner has 150 plus Christy Matheson baseballs out there. 

Here is a link to Chad's (The Reporter in the story) Facebook Page and the video as well. There is a comment section for anyone who can add something.
