Complaint Filed on Coach's Corner Sports Auctions

I've been wondering what can be done about the items being put out by these guys for a while. I decided to file a complaint today. I went to the website for the Bureau of Consumer Protection and it told me to go to https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/. I went through the process and left this as part of the complaint. What do you think?

myccsa.com Coaches Corner runs online auctions wherein autographed memorabilia is regularly sold. The site consistently has thousands of fraudulent items with forged signatures that are sold to the unsuspecting public. I hate seeing so many Americans throw good money after this worthless junk. The goings on of this operation have been documented by professional authenticators, philographers, the media and fans for years. They are on ebay's banned list and no legitimate auction house will deal with items sourced from these people. A good deal of information on them is available online. http://live.autographmagazine.com or the people at http://www.psacard.com/ would be great resources to learn more about this criminal enterprise. Thank you.

Well done Chad. Don't know that anyone will listen though. I believe Dom has even called the authorities in the area as well, and nothing happens. It is truly disgusting to watch people being actually robbed and we're all witnesses to it, and nothing is done. I don't know if its a matter that they see the parties are agreeing to buy something so its not really robbery... but it is when its illegitimate/forged items.

Its rather tricky because people eat this stuff up, fake or not.

Nice Chad, great job. Its just my opinion, but i believe that someone in the fed is probably getting a little extra in his pocket to not go after coaches corner. May sound far fetched, but if people knew the reality of how often this stuff happens, the world would be a much better place.

I agree with Carl, there is something far beyond normal fraud going on here. Clearly people at the top are making money and stopping anyone taking these guys down

I figured it couldn't hurt to report them. I hoped by posting this on here a few of you might file a complaint as well.

I imagine there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints on them over the last 20 years. Coach's Corner has gotten away with it the entire time...without a single arrest!
