Old story, but still worth posting.

Roach's Corner Auctions, in my opinion, has sold more forgeries in the past twenty years than anyone else.

People who knowingly sell fakes are as low as they come. With that said, I have come to the conclusion that, far too often, people buy these items without seriously caring if they are genuine or not. They buy because of the comparative low price and just want something cool to display and impress their friends. In some cases, someone buys it as a present. Or they purchase on impulse.

The difference is a collector studies their hobby and a fan doesn't.

Well written, Joe.

I call them delusional collectors.

I agree with you both. 

Whats sad is when you actually try to help these folks by telling them (so that they can get a refund) and they want to fight with you in disbelief!  I've been called many names when trying to help.  My favorite one is Jealous! 

I've learned that I don't help unless asked by the person anymore, and I don't do it privately unless I know the person well.  If on this forum, I usually make people post the item on the forum and I'll address it there,  that way I'm not the only one in the discussion with them.

"We've researched who we do business with as an organization. We trust the people we work with. They guarantee the things they've submitted to us and it's a trust that's real,  so to hear that these certificates or items with certificates could be not legitimate, that's the disheartening part," said Steve Fritch.

Coffee spit! It's Coaches Corner you boob. One quick Google search and you would have all you need to know. Just another crook, IMHO
