Baseball card set collectors: Beware of master forger, ebay seller lock-em-up-bob

This guy has been at it for years. He takes complete sets of baseball cards, usually 1980-1992 Topps, and will forge the entire set. Then he will list the forgeries individually preying on autograph set collectors. He will often auction off a 5-6 different cards of a Hall of Famer with the same picture of himself posing w/the player in each auction. Each forgery is signed perfectly on each card, many times with hard to come by inscriptions. One of bob's special's are dual/triple signed 'Team Leaders' cards. He claims he gets all the autographs he sells at spring training or hotels, which is a LIE!!! TPA's will not pass his forgeries from what I've seen. Do NOT bid on his crap! He works closely with another scammer, ebay seller samsobo. They both are part of a South Florida forgery ring!

This is NOT an authentic Ryne Sandberg

Dual/triple signed 'Team Leader' forgeries. Both the Yankees & Giants card sold for over $90.00 EACH!!

His Mattingly's are 100% crap, funny thing is he's dumb enough to include photos of himself with each forgery he is selling. "Proof Photos" which prove absolutely nothing, that he uses over and over and over... eBay "Top Rated" seller here... LOL. 

Usually has a new Mattingly "autograph" every couple weeks, with the same "proof photo":

Here are some more horrible forgeries sold by eBay seller lock-em-up-bob , another eBay seller scribbling on worthless base cards looking to turn them into gold:

How do we get him off ebay? I've been trying for a while with no luck. He has fooled hundreds of set autograph set collectors into buying his forgeries and even the 3rd parties has had trouble with his junk.

Yes, of course he's just going to have 2 deceased players that are highly desirable. Both signed perfectly in jet blue sharpie, preserved like they were signed last night!

It is a skilled forger, but they make mistakes... Some of the ones I uploaded if you save the picture and zoom in you can see some parts are signed very slow. (Look at Pete Rose and Cal in particular). Numerous mistakes are made on Mattingly which I will not mention.

Typical Ebay scammer.

How come ebay refuses to stop him when he's been reported for years? Yes, all his forgeries are very slowly done. He even forges frickin Frank Tannna!

Look at what a nice signature Eddie Murray gives while standing up in a hallway somewhere.

More Crap from Bob
