  I thought this was pretty funny
  
  "Just like in any business, people have found ways to make money dishonestly," said Lee Trythall, general manager of Coach's Corner, a sports and entertainment memorabilia auction house in Souderton.

  Thanks for the extremely funny article! Unfortunately, the satire and sarcasm are likely to go right over the heads of inexperienced collectors of sports memorabilia. Let's make it clear that Coaches' Corner and STAT are two limbs of the very same entity, and that this outfit has earned every bit of its widely-known reputation among knowledgeable collectors as the absolute worst and shadiest operation in the sports collectibles hobby, not just certifying but actually producing blatant and obvious forgeries in enormous volume. The fellows interviewed are a laughingstock in the hobby. Anything certified by STAT or sold by Coaches' Corner carries a black mark among hobbyists and is to be avoided like the plague. Readers would do well to search for information on "Operation Bullpen" and instead trust their memorabilia to PSA, SGC, JSA, or one of the major sports memorabilia auction houses (Robert Edward, Hunt, Lelands, &c') for authentication.

  Please take a deeper look instead of just taking whatever crap these guys spout as gospel.

  Wow, this entire article is a sham. STAT and Coaches Corner are some of the most dishonest people in the sports memorabilia business, and any informed collector stays FAR away from them. They sell known forgeries and fruadulant items, and their "seal of approval" is absolutely worthless. "

  Hilarious, thanks for the read. Maybe I'll call and threaten to cancel my subscription to "Bucks County Courier Times", maybe these guys own the newspaper too!
