Forgers in the News:

• Another name to watch for is Donald Frangipani whose name appears on forged COA's...a federal investigation by the FBI and
  United States Attorneys' offices in San Diego and Chicago looked into forgeries of sports autographs and certificates of authenticity that may have been
  falsely issued in connection with sports autograph sales. As a result of that case, eBay will not permit any use of certificates of authenticity on
  its site that have been issued by "SCAA", "J. Dimaggio Co.", "Universal Inc.," "Universal Memorabilia," "Sports Management Group," "Stan's Sports,"
  "Pro Sports," "Pro Sports Memorabilia," "Dave Niedema a.k.a. Dave Madiema," "Steve Ryan," "North Shore Sports," "Sport Card Kid Hunting Beachor,"
  "Forensic Document Services-Robert Prouty," "R.R.'s Sports Cards & Collectibles," "All-Sports Cards & Memorabilia," "Sports Alley Memorabilia,"
  "Slamdunk Sportscards Memorabilia,"Universal," "Donald Frangipani," "Sports Management Group," "Stans Sports Memorabilia," 'W.W. Sportscards &
  Collectibles," "SCCA / Front Page Art Angela-John Marino," "J. Dimaggio Company," "Legends Sports Memorabilia," "Classic Memorabilia," or "Hollywood
  Dreams". Any listings that refer to examinations or certificates of authenticity from these companies will not be allowed. (Source: Ebay)
• List of those claiming to be a UACC member and aren't or who they've expelled for fakes: http://www.uacc.org/hallofshame.htm
• Stephen Lyons, a forger operating out of Rhode Island who sold on ebay among other places, was convicted on Friday in Federal court in San Diego of forging autographs. One of the witnesses in the case was Anthony Daniels.
• Shawn Jackson, defendant in "Operation Bullpen" has resurfaced again.  Not sure if these were old autographs from his hey day, but someone trying to get their money back and sell their items realized they were forgeries while trying to sell them on Ebay.  Not sure if these are still being sold, but please be on the lookout.  Anything associated with the name Shawn Jackson should be ignored... DO NOT BUY! It goes to show you that forged autographs can be bought and sold many years later!  This warning is made January 2007  NEW

• International Authentication Services (This service has been confirmed this to be an individual forging COA's and there was admission that they never looked at the sigs (Lord of the Rings cards) Another collector called and investigated and came up with similar information). Here's the address: International Authentication Services 7205 Goreway Drive unit 59148, Mississauga, Ontario L4T 4J1

   

   

Personal Experiences; you should beware too:

• Starwarscarriefisher:  Aka Marion Curry, aka Nick Curry aka grooveybaby  (Bought cards and did not pay); don't see him as an Ebay user now, might be using another alias

• Chris Macht EBAY ID Changes; was Inept533 aka deepspaceproduction aka deepspaceproductions and the emails change... deepspaceproduction@hotmail.com asked for a trade; said he sent his side and didn't.  Another couple collectors got ripped off too (Josh and another).  Same scenario. 31 yr old female with 4 years experience teaching high school English and 12 years experience tutoring reading and writing at the college level. Located in Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. supposedly, but is a guy I think... here's address:

Chris Macht

• Boxing32  I bid on three items on Ebay but seller said "I don't combine shipping" and wanted to charge me 18.00 to ship three 5x7 envelopes. I asked him before the last two auctions were to end would he give me a break or tell me how he was shipping (if first class that's 60 cents).  He refused to answer my questions telling me to wait till after the auction.  When I answered back a little upset, telling him to answer so I could decide whether to cancel auctions or not, he CANCELLED the auctions with less than 2 hours to go and insisted I pay for the first item.  Do not deal with him; he's unreasonable and does not offer good customer service and his prime motivation is greed. NEW

• RobJosepj or josepj or the realsharkaa@yahoo.com  I won an item and never got it.  He said "you didn't get insurance" but I noticed that nobody form this timeframe who bought stuff from him got their items.  I was promised a refund which never came and after numerous contacts, I got a check for the amount which I didn't feel comfortable cashing because it was a brand new check with no address information and I was first check... NEW

• Dejavu Enterprises This is the company that is responsible for my entire devotion to forgeries.  It is the company that sells on the net and in Hollywood, CA. It's the first place that sold my husband my FIRST bought autographs (a gift to me for our Anniversary); a signed 8x10 of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew and Mark Hamill.  All signatures were forged and they they refused to respond to emails after the first one which I asked for a refund under the terms of the COA.  They told me it was over a year old and would not honor it.  So because of their refusal to be honest, and ripping my husband off 300.00, they end up here.  Here is a link to their website:  http://www.dejavucollectibles.com/.htm DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.  Even a recent review of their current offerings show fakes. NEW

GOOD STUFF TO KNOW:

• Here is a list of UACC registered Dealers... these are not bad, but the good. http://uacc.org/registered.htm

• The VERO List:  Celebrities get their name added to the list when they don't want certain things sold and they watch their items for fakes (if some are spotted, they can force the seller to remove, even if the seller has no knowledge the item was forged or on an unlicensed/unauthorized item).. Any autographs on Ebay that are listed for these people could be fake most likely or at the very least be prosecutable even for the buyer.....http://www.uacc.org/bulletin21.htm VERO simply means a representative of that star has signed up to use legal copyright laws and protect their stars likeness and copyrighted material. That can be as simple as ending bootleg CD's or non-authorized calendars. It does not mean they can end authentic autographs. They can use their VERO power not to remove the good autographs but to remove the FAKES. The VERO list should be used if someone finds a forged autograph on eBay, that person should try
  to contact one of the stars on that list or their reps to ask them to use their VERO ability to have the person prosecuted or at the very least end the item

&   Looks at sites for Lord of the Rings and other autographs from rare people who never signed for more than a small handful of people at most....forges signatures and sells on Ebay.  Took a couple off my own site and it was impossible for Celeb to have signed seeing they told me they had not signed any others!  Claims to get in person to some people and changes stories depending who emails him/her. May be a girl.  Claims to not speak English well, but was caught in lies there too; also mentioned as a forger on www.anthonydaniels.com

( Selling Fake Star Wars items; caught by an official source such as celebrity and fans

###  Has had at minimum, two or more complaints submitted and is one step away from being on the X-list. 

@ Buying from Xlist companies and reselling

%  This dealer took signatures from my site or others I know and said he got "in person" signatures from "rare" signers who had personally told myself or my friend that they never signed another autograph before ours.  When questioned, the dealer said he got the items in person two years before!  This was impossible and the celebrity never signed those items.

1 continual complaints about this seller.

2 Feedbacks are horrendous, including forgery claim, illegal sales of copyrighted material, Bogus phone number and address, and Dozens of people not receiving items.

3 Star Wars items all done in same hand

4 Dozens or many items by same rare signers

5 Seller self confessed new seller and proof of that by date signed onto Ebay; but later said collector from around the world many years; in addition, seller's auctions in combination of languages to confuse buyer. This site confirmed more than one forgery. Seller's location not conducive to some of the graphs he gets; person submitting the name noted major discrepancies in spelling of names and one other person looking at submissions noted a photograph NOT signed by the appropriate celebrity who supposedly signed it.  There is enough evidence to be concerned at this point.  More information needed to upgrade to Xlist.  If you have information to nail this person, please email

6 Seller would not give details and/or Scans of the items in question.

7 Complaint my celebrity/celebrity website and second opinion noted some if not all the items were suspect.

8 Mixture of good items mixed in with bad items; a good mixture (in other words, not just one or two bad but several).

9 Seller caught lying in email exchanges

10 Google search of seller yielded complaints on other boards, forums, groups or personal sites.
