Beware of Ebayer Nashville_cardz (aka Val's Locker) who is literally selling over a THOUSAND fake autographs

There are a lot of autograph forgers on Ebay but possibly one of the most egregious ever is from Nashville_cardz (aka Val's Locker) who literally has over a thousand fake autographs. That is not a typo. Over a THOUSAND. And these fake autographs are not even close to being good forgeries.

It’s all big name autographs, there are no scrubs or secondary players, and these are people who do not sign via US mail – so he would have you believe that he has every big name player’s autograph from MLB and the NFL and on top, is selling them for 2.50 (or in that range) – autographs that in real life, authenticated, would be worth a hundred or in most cases, much more. But he’s selling a Derek Jeter autograph for 2.50. How would someone in real life get all these super star autos in person? I sent a couple requests asking where he was able to get all these "autographs" to no response.

Sadly there are lots of people on Ebay who don’t know any better – they see a Juan Soto autograph (certified Sotos from Topps can go from $100-150 – and way more for parallel versions) for $2.50 and can’t believe what an amazing deal they’re getting oblivious to the fact it’s a fake. These are the people scammers like Nashville_cardz prey upon.

I have included a picture of a few of his "autographs" next to the players' actual autograph so you can see how bad some of these fakes are.

There are some people who did attempt to get the fake autograph authenticated and found out the hard way these are fake. Read the attached screenshot of some of the negative feedback this scammer has received – he not only is busted but then insults the people after they discover the autographs he sold them are forgeries.

Unfortunately there are a lot of scammers on ebay selling fake autographs but never has anyone attempted to sell over a thousand of these forgeries. This guy just sits there all day applying his fake autograph to these cards and then lists them on ebay.  How many hours a day is this scammer spending on this? It’s honestly incredible.

If you get the chance, go to his account, bring up some of this fake autos and report to ebay. If enough people report this guy, he could be banned. There are people on reddit who are looking at other avenues – the players unions for the leagues and other avenues that might take offense to someone selling so many fake autographs.  I've seen a lot of forgers on Ebay but no one ever as deplorable as this guy.

That is some feedback. I guess folks don't read the negs...

Please post a link to that seller's items.  Thank you.

There was a massive campaign on reddit about this guy - a  ton of people reported over 600 of his fake autographs and got them removed - he changed his ID but it didn't matter.

Not sure what happened to the remaining 400 fake autos but his account has zero auctions now, 2 days later - I assume he removed them.

His new Ebay moniker is jaxypie0312

I want to make sure any searches for this scammer bring up this site (and the reddit stuff is pretty damning).
