Its the second coming of Coaches Corner. Morales seems to be the main authenticator. Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio just to name few are being sold. Just more garbage that needs to be exposed

Definitely the second coming of Coach's Corner Auctions.
Look at the crap (forgeries) on that site.

I'll post photos tomorrow.
Looked like one of them read your posts and extended an e (318 I believe). Just despicable. The paluso should be good if original.
Yeah, its pathetic Chris! I was SMH the whole time scrolling through their crap. Again, casual collectors need to do their homework, their keeping these garbage auction sites alive
I think that the majority of buyers of this crap in an auction of this type are resellers. This sh-- then filters down to smaller auctions, local sites and obscure internet auctions. It is like a virus in the bloodstream, if you cannot kill it then it will destroy you.
icollector.com should be changed to iidiot.com
Looks like Captain Jirks auctions is competing with McmANUS Auctions to see who is the top forgery salesman on the iidiot.com site is.
Mr. McManus, if you want to run an "ethical" business, your first course of action should be to remove all of the "autographs (forgeries)" with COAs from Morales.
That would be a responsible first step.
Mr. McManus,
You contradict and implicate yourself in this statement. "I'm lucky if I make half of that in commission". So, you think you are going to only make $2500 in commission from this sale ($5000/2)? Let's do a little math here for fun. I don't know what your commission rates & buyer's premiums are, but typically it's something in the arena of 10%-20% on both ends of the deal. For instance Heritage Auction charges sellers 15% commission, and charges the buyer a 19.5% buyers premium. That's comes to 34.5% total. For simplicity, let's say you guys get 25% commission (between seller & buyer). This is on the low end, so I think I'm being conservative here. If you sell that one multi-signed ball that is "estimated" at $175,000 you would profit 0.25*175,000 which equals $43,750.
So while you advertise and tell your customers that this ball is worth $175,000 (obviously implying that it is real), you also say that you think you will only make $2500 in commission on the ENTIRE auction. So let's do some more math...In order for you to make $2500 in commission, you will need to sell how many dollars worth of items? again, using 25% commission (between both seller commission and buyer's premium) as an example....0.25*X=$2500. X=$10,000 So that means you think you will only sell $10,000 worth of items at this auction. Mr. McManus, how is this possible, when there are many items "valued" themselves at over $10,000 and several over $100,000?
It just doesn't add up, and you know it.
So Mr Mcmanus, you would rather take the risk of selling bad stuff then having it checked?
Think of what that does to your reputation.
