Forgeries offered by LLP Auctions of Tampa, FL: Mickey Mantle, Derek Jeter, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Tiger Woods, Roberto Clemente & More

As many of us know, Ebay has done a decent job removing forgeries from their auction site over the past twelve months, but during that time the forgers and sellers of forgeries have found other outlets to sell their forgeries of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Tiger Woods, etc.

Over the past year or so, these forgeries have made their way into local auctions and these local auctions are springing up all over the country.

Numerous sellers of forgeries sometimes use an online auction platform titled www.proxibid.com.

One of those sellers is LLP Auctions out of Tampa, Florida.

Below you will find photographs from some of their auctions. These aren't the usual forgeries that we are used to seeing on various auctions sites. These are truly horrific and from what I can see, they are all penned by the same hand.

Please have your barf-bag ready.

First the link:

First we have a Lou Gehrig forgery. Amazing that Mr. Gehrig, who passed away June 2, 1941, used a black sharpie to pen this photograph. This is one pathetic forgery.

Now we have a Mickey Mantle forgery listed by LLP Auctions out of Tampa, Florida.

Next is a Tiger Woods forgery. As you can already see, these have been penned by the same hand.

Here we have another horrific forgery (Whitey Ford) listed by LLP Auctions out of Tampa, Florida.

Here's a Roberto Clemente forgery.

Here's another Mickey Mantle forgery.

Look at this ugly Pete Rose forgery.

Joe DiMaggio forgery.

Once again, as you can see, these were all penned by the same hand. They look like they were penned by a three-year old.

Harmon Killebrew forgery listed by seller LLP Auctions.

Michael Jordan ugly and pathetic forgery.

Jackie Robinson forgery listed by LLP Auctions.

One more photo. Look at this horrific Derek Jeter forgery listed by LLP Auctions. Again, looks like it was penned by a three-year old.

Again, here is the link to all of their auctions.

And I will repeat, all of these look like they were penned by the same hand; the hand of a three-year old.

Comment by CJCollector on May 7, 2012 at 5:12am: These are the most pathetic forgeries you will ever see. Autographed and signed photographs of everyone from Lou Gehrig to Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Tiger Woods, Roberto Clemente and Derek Jeter that are all pathetic, horrific and hideous forgeries listed by seller LLP Auctions, Tampa Florida.

Comment by CJCollector on May 7, 2012 at 5:15am: I am hoping that Proxibid.com will do something about this garbage.

Comment by CJCollector on May 7, 2012 at 9:20am: Ridiculous Wilt Chamberlain forgery (autographed photo) listed by LLP Auctions, Tamp FL.

Who the heck would waste their time framing all of this garbage I have posted!!!!!

Comment by CJCollector on May 7, 2012 at 9:26am: I have to show one of their (LLP Auctions, Tampa FL) hideous Ted Williams (signed photo) forgeries.

Comment by CJCollector on May 7, 2012 at 9:35am: Please note that they (LLP Auctions, Tampa FL) are selling multiples of Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, etc., forgeries. Disgusting!!!

Comment by Richard S. Simon on May 8, 2012 at 5:53am: What I find funny, besides the quality of this crap, is that almost every listing states comes with certificate of authenticity. I cannot imagine even the worst of the worst, who has been discussed here before, would possibly authenticate these pieces of toilet paper.

This stuff is just beyond belief. No surprise it comes from Florida but even the notorious ones in Florida would not try to sell junk like this.

Proxibid did the right thing and removed all auctions listed by LLP Auctions. They are also in the process of removing other auctions.

Thank you, Proxibid!!!

indeed, better late than never... maybe the should stick with jewelry & silver or perhaps Proxibid can make the prior buyers aware of the other sport auction items such as this gem from April auction and went for a mere $50.00 (and someone thinks they have a genuine mantle)
