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

You guys make good points. I forgot to mention the Lopez forgery also sold for $30. Here's another Chapman fake autograph by Bozo Bob!

For the record, Brian Freidrich (ABC Unlimited) is doing a signing with Kelvin Chapman. That should lower the demand and prices for authentic ones quite a bit. He really hasn't signed in decades until now.

These forgeries are now being sold by Sam, ebay seller samsobo. He is scumbag Bob's worthless brother. Notice how he also forges people like Jim Clancy and Ernie Whitt.
