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

Glad you are exposing this clown. Did you notice how his Yogi and Dale Berra and Ken Griffey Sr/Jr are very similar? I know they are father/son, but that is ridiculous. Pretty funny that he even forged the Bible verse after Sid Bream's autograph.

Your right, he forgers bible verses, inscriptions you name it. There is a foolish autograph set collector that buys tons of this clowns forgeries on ebay. Ebay will not allow you to contact him though and this guy keeps on buying fake autographs!
