Latest Update!

December 29, 2009

I rarely if ever come right out and call someone a liar. Stephen Koschal, “you are a liar”.
Never in my life have I seen a snake like you that some car hasn’t run over yet.

You have no idea what Christmas is, going to church would be like or spending time with your family. You deserted them and left them to fend for themselves, even your small children. Why don’t you pay up you child support and ask your family for forgiveness. Cori Raiderman is to the autograph community what you are to being a family man.

Cori Raiderman is a pawn for these bad guys. He harasses the good dealers till you finally tell him off. He is a coward and hides behind fictitious names (like Koschal) writing lies any anonymous blog that will let him. Because it’s anonymous it’s hard to catch who these people are. But Mr Raiderman being the idiot he is wrote me this email:

    Keep a eye out..

    we got 15 accounts, so every time you post, we can repost a new item on rip off

    and Todd is going to do a story EVERY day on you in his news section.

    GOOD NIGHT NURSE for you....

This is called throwing you friend and yourself under the bus. I didn’t say Raiderman was very smart.

Now who is this guy that threatens the good people of the industry? My sources tell me he sells Rings from players of the Oakland Raiders. Ring dealers are a very small community and he has been traced to southern Florida using IP addresses from other states to try to throw people off his scent. He also is a low end scout for an NFL team whose boss will soon find out what he does in his free time. On Christmas Eve I got 19 threatening emails and I received 18 on Christmas Day. After he figured out I knew who he was he turned into a coward;

Seems like his story is changing a bit; sorry but “we” also includes you. This is illegal.

Here I’m going to give you a sampling of crap I have to take every day from this jerk. Also note the emails that are being sent to him by one of the crooks that he hangs out with trying to tell him what to say. This first one is where he first begs me to let him off the hook then threatens me to meet him at a bowl game. I took him up on his offer and have yet to hear back from him.

    Good Job Cori,
     
    Keep asking him the same question saying 3rd request, 4th request , etc.
     
    He does not answer your queston, after all what can he say...he authenticated moden items signed by people who were dead 22 years. His responses are from a very sick person. Keep this clown fired up!

The one above is great. This is Cori’s coach egging him on to what to say.

    Hearsay does not hold up in a court of law.

    You will soon learn that the hard way.

    If I were you I would be worried about all those court dates and small claims court cases and how you can say dead people are signing albums, and artists spelling names wrong on just your items.

    Worry about yourself!

Please note the dates of these emails too. Wouldn’t you love to sip a warm cup of cocoa with Koschal and Cori? Maybe they just sat under the mistletoe all day and giggled and played.

Now who’s lost their minds, you decide?

Now remember folks this is the guy Stephen Koschal who writes autograph alert. This is Mr. Family man getting ready for church. He must be wrapping these as Christmas gifts for his dearest friends. Make sure the eggnog is nice and warm. I sprinkle mine with a little nutmeg.

Cori Raiderman writes me about three to five times a day. He must have a lot of time on his hands. Recently he’s been getting his kicks telling me I’m about to be sued for defamation. For once he may be right, because I’ve heard it from a reliable source, too.

And that tells me one thing… This blog is working.

I don’t say anything without the evidence to back it up. Real evidence—not the fabricated kind some have spread about me. And it’s telling that rather than rebutting what I’ve said, either for me to print or publishing it elsewhere, they’re resorting to SLAPP lawsuits to try to scare me off.

I’ve never been sued before. I don’t look forward to it, but I’m not afraid to fight for my cause. The truth will come out, I’ll win, and my insurance will cover the legal fees.

So to those trying to shut me up…

Bring them on.

There is quite a lot that went on “behind the scenes” to expose this criminal act on selling items with “doctored” photos to increase the value of these non-authentic signed guitars. Years of research and many hours were devoted to show the public what kind of fraud is going on in the autograph world. Thank God for the few good people who helped put this together. Steve Cyrkin you are truly a saint to the collectors worldwide.

When unscrupulous dealers and authenticators are exposed they attack back with posting lies and inaccuracies on credit-less on line websites. Here is an email from one of these spineless cowards telling me it is being done.

These low-lifes create false identities and write on any blog that will let them. There goal is to get Google to pick them up thus discrediting people when they search their names. Well good try but this won’t work this time.

When will this end, I hope for everyone’s sake soon but time will tell.

Latest Update

Let’s take a look at The Allman Brothers!


This story is a study of the Allman Brothers Band signatures over the years.  Early ABB signed stuff is very scarce and only pops up once and awhile.  Duane and Berry died so young they had little time in their career to have signed.  I was very fortunate to buy a collection of autographs from a Houston music journalist, Larry Lent that was fortunate enough to have met them and even interviewed them.  (I have a copy of that too) 

The early lineup was Gregg and Duane Allman, Richard Betts (usually called Dickie or Dickey), Butch Trucks, Berry Oakley and Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johanson (Jaimoe). 

To the right is a very rare test pressing of their first Album signed by all 6 original members of the band. All but Butch Trucks signed “in the era” of the LP. This LP was mailed to Larry Lent in advance of them coming to Houston to play the Music Hall. Note that in this early signed item Mr. Betts signed this as “Dickie” Betts. Also note the very rare version of Gregg signing his last name with a lower case “A” for Allman. I have only seen this done a few times ever. Also note the very cool and rare way “Jaimoe” signed his name; he signed Jaimoe then JJ Johanson, Berry also added “Allman Brothers Band” after his signature. On the interview tape you can hear Berry and Duane tripping out that Larry had this LP.

autograph scandals

Here is a rare signed check of Berry Oakley signed in 1970.

autograph authentication

Here is another from 1970 signed by Duane Allman.

rock autographs

Above is an endorsed check from 1970 signed as Richard Betts. Notice the formation of the last name is exactly the same as him signing as Dickie.

allman_check1

Here is a cool one signed Gregory L Allman with a lower case “A”

signed rock items

Here is a very unusual endorsed check from Feb 1970 with Jaimoe signing as Johnny Lee Johanson.

signed rock photos

Here is an early promo photo signed by Gregg (as Gregory) and using an Upper case “A” in Allman, Duane and Butch Trucks. They were all still working on how they were going to sign their names in the early part of their career. Duane was the one that stayed the most consistent.

signed rock memorabilia

Here is a signature from around 1995 and a signed photo from 1996 of Gregg. This style of signature stayed pretty much the same from the late 70’s throughout his career.

signed guitars

Here is a guitar I got signed back in the late 90’s. Note Gregg still signing the same way and Dickey has now been signing as “Dickey” for some time. This guitar also has the late Allen Woody on it.

I Hope the study helped clear up some of the myths and just plain ignorance of other so called web sites thinking they have a clue about music autographs. 20+ years of experience in music autographs says a lot and I always have the information to back up my statements.
