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

Sam (samsobo) has a Ted Williams bat that comes with a hologram but says he can't remember what company it's from. He and scumbag brother Bob (lock_em_up_bob) also have some more forgeries on cards they are currently unloading to set collectors on Ebay.

The bat has an upper deck hologram on it. And the signature looks good. My question to you though Dom, is how in the heck do you find the time in your day to load all of these pics. I am just saying... Dude you look like a stalker... Like a fatal attraction... LOL. I am just saying... I am not saying the autographs he has sold in the past or now are legit because I am not much into baseball. but I do know Ted Williams sigs pretty well though and the one pictured is legit. In my opinion of course...

No, you're not "just saying." You're trying to start a fight. What else is new?

I never made any statement about the Ted Williams bat except that Sam says he didn't know what COA it came with. You proclaim it's from Upper Deck. What do you want, a cookie Miyagi? Doesn't take that long (2-3 minutes) to put pics up here, just a few clicks on the mouse. Probably the same amount of time you pleasure your wife daily.

Actually your right Dom, I never pleasure my wife. But thats only because I am impotent.. so I spend all of my time on the phone with ebay and hanging around internet forums crying about fake signatures. How else would I have time enough to roam around ebay copying 7 pages of pictures to post in internet forums. When I am not doing that I am finding ways to get people I don't like kicked off ebay. :) LOL

Why would you spend your time on the phone with ebay? I have only made one call to them in months because it's really a waste of time Miyagi. I would recommend you not call anymore or waste any of your time trying to get members kicked off ebay. They probably won't help you there. You don't need to spend all your time on internet forums either. Just do what most do here at AML..come on here a couple times a day for 5-10 mins and read/post. You can do it while waiting in line somewhere, on the excise bike or having lunch. It's multi-tasking. There are other ways to pleasure your wife Miyagi since you're impotent, but I'm sure it'd be a waste of my time trying to explain that to you.
