Earlier this year I posted blogs on forged autographs on counterfeit Derek Jeter 1995 Upper Deck cards and forged autographs on counterfeit Sandy Koufax 2000 SP Authentic cards.

I began noticing these obvious forgeries months ago on Ebay, but with Ebay heavily-populated with forgeries, I really didn't think much of exposing them until I began observing them in numbers and that's when I knew I had to expose them.
Immediately below is a link to Part 1 of "Derek Jeter Forged Counterfeit 1994/1995 Upper Deck Baseball Cards."…

Stephen Rocchi opened Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) in September 2011, with John Gorajczyk listed as their forensic document examiner.
I remember reading in one of the baseball forums that numerous autograph collectors were excited that a new Third-Party Authentication (TPA) company was going to compete with PSA/DNA and JSA.
But that excitement was short-lived when collectors…

As we've noticed during the last 48 hours, both Ebay and the Ebay sellers of Muhammad Ali forgeries are making a killing on Ebay.
The victims (who don't know yet that they are victims) are getting scammed to no end.
It's both sad and disgusting.
First, immediately below, link to my first four threads on GFA-certed (Stephen Rocchi) Muhammad Ali…

I guess Ebay has found a way to get more money from their honest sellers who list and sell authentic autographs.
I recently, for the first time in a long time, decided to list one of my items starting with a .99 cents starting bid.
I usually use "Buy It Now/Best Offer" for the few listings I submit.
Due the fact that it is impossible to compete…

A little over a month ago I sent an email to Ebay about obvious shill bidding.
Of course, Ebay never responded.
This has been going on for months with Ebay seller Stevew6.
Ebay seller Stevew6 is a consistent seller of GFA-certed forgeries.
But along with his selling of GFA-certed and other assorted laughable…
