There's no doubt this Jacob is the ebay seller mentioned. Let us know what other gems you find in grand daddie's attic. Better hurry before Mr. Mint beats you to it!

I am not this seller. I posted a thread asking about the Nolan Ryan rookie card which I bought from this seller. After everyone said it was authentic I messaged the seller and got a list of cards he had. So, I bougt a lot of 13 cards. I did not want to say that I was buying these off of an eBay seller because the members on here are good at investigating! (Proof in this thread) And I thought you would find the seller and contact him to buy items from him that I was looking to buy because he was selling things really cheap! Too cheap. Keep in mind, I thought these were all real at the time so now it sounds stupid. I apologize for the confusion. If you really want to believe that I am producing forgeries and testing them on you guys her then so be it. But I can say that I honestly would never sell forgeries as I love autograph collecting and it is a shame that there are so many guys like this seller ruining the hobby.

I did look behind the scenes at Jacobs identifying information, and his IP matches the area he listed on our forum (he listed NY- and his IP is from NY).  The seller on eBay is listed in Puerto Rico.

Keep in mind that on eBay you can set your location to wherever you want... 

This seller now has an identical Mantle/Williams posted:

Jacob, everyone did not say that Nolan Ryan was authentic.  I thought it was highly questionable and still do.

Hey Jacob, if you purchased 13 of these in a row from this seller after your Nolan Ryan thread (October 27th), where is the feedback? There should be 13 sales with all of the stuff you have posted with feedback left by you, or his feedback left on "your account"? Funny, there isn't any.. 

In fact, if you purchased 13 items in a row after your Nolan Ryan thread (October 27th), then how did you already have the Jeter/Mantle 2 days later? And then a few days later receive others? So you bought 13 items as a "lot", but this seller overnighted you a couple at a time? 

Lol. You haven't thought this through have you...

I didn't buy the Jeter and I was discussing prices on the Williams. The seller has multiple of the same cards. I bought the 13 cards as a lot and haven't left feedback yet because I am returning them. I asked about the jeter because I wanted to know if he was selling forgeries or authentic autographs.

So just to make sure I have this correct....The autographs are REAL, but simply printed on the card?

I know that is Joe Namath's autograph ( No doubt in my mind at all )  That is 100% Namath penmanship, however as I stated, it could easily be printed on the card.

 So what exactly is Jacob doing?  He is using lamination to print the autographs on the cards and then selling them as authentic signatures?

These are 100% authentic "signatures", but they are being photoshopped/stamped/printed onto the cards somehow (if they are even cards to begin with) and then laminated... But yes, formation wise they appear AUTHENTIC, but they are essentially a "reprint".

I am not doing any of this. Why would I set a fake location on eBay? The moderator even posted this.
