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

The report video has been viewed almost 28,000 times, and that may be on Facebook alone!

Wow. Nice traction 

Yes, that's on FB alone!

Oh my. 

Paul, CC has an auction starting on Nov 29th, 2018! The DA, investigators, and state AG's offices looking into this should be made aware of it, if they aren't already. They may want to directly purchase some of this material to take immediate custody of the items as shipped, then submit straightaway to their forensics people for analysis.

They're also now offering a card grading service. "Protect your cards from fraud", they say!!!!  LOL

**Coach's Corner is offering our own card grading service. For only $5 we will encapsulate and grade your cards for you in a tamper-proof slab.  This will protect your cards from any tampering or fraud.  It is available for consignors or collectors alike.  Contact us for the details. You will not find a better deal on card grading in the hobby.**

Woody, I believe they began offering that a couple of years ago.

What a bad joke they are!!!

I wasn't aware of it! Though I've never seen innumerable forgeries, mercifully, I've never seen a Coach's Corner graded/slabbed card! lol

Gives me the heebee-geebees to read a caution from Coach's Corner about dealer's fraud and promoting a service to combat deception.

It's like reading a warning from Satan about fire and offering asbestos suits to the general public.

Good grief! Lee went on record saying they don't get involved with that side of the hobby! 

Anyway, there is an ad on Craigslist, it's gathering together people who have bought their trash. These three weasels have no loyalty running through their veins. It seems to me the pressure is really mounting, someone is going to be the rat in order to save their own ass. My guess is it will be Gina Meyers. We probably should direct some of our energies on her.

Paul, I can only hope that this is the beginning of the snowball getting bigger.

I hope someone inside rats out the rest.

Hi Christopher! Bad things will happen to bad people, it's the way it shakes out. Like I said there is no level of loyalty flowing through anybody's veins over there. I picture the three of them sitting at a long table with jerseys, baseballs, and other pieces sitting there with ink pens and sharpies, all having a good chuckle at the people they'll screw at this month's auction. One thing I noticed in Chad's piece was Scott saying "Come on Gina, let's go," and Gina listened. Here's the thing; the pressure is now on them, really for the first time and it's not letting up any. Gina will start to think, hey I only answer the phones here, I am not going to get in trouble for Scott. Then there's Lee. He is obviously the guy who holds the piss bucket for Scott, sweeping up all his messes, pushing people around who complain about the crappy items they have. Scott is nowhere to be found. Maybe Lee's wife tells him you better not get in any trouble over this, all this is on Scott. It's not a matter of If, it's a matter of when. Those screws get turned a little more it's every person for themselves. Wouldn't surprise me if this upcoming auction gets postponed.

I hope this gets more interesting, Paul.
