I just had to vent my anger after having just discovered an auction on "trademe.co.nz" regarding some lowlife profit seeking so called collector trying to sell off a pair of 1:64 biante minicars 28c & 24c that he has blatently & admittingly FORGED the signature of the late Peter Brock RIP.
I am sickened by this & even the use of words like " very professional". Any ideas members of a way to eradicate this kind of vermin?
maybe Biante could revoke his membership???
cut & pasted from his ad
"This is a set of two 1/64 scale cars by Biante of Brockys first Bathurst winning Torana XUI 28c and the sister car of Colin Bond... Brock won his first Bathurst and Bond ended in a crumpled heap!!
I had my set of these cars personally hand signed at Bathurst in 2005. This is another set that I had intended to get signed, however with Brockys untimely death this will not happen.
The signed cards inside both these cars, in this auction are very professional and high quality copies of the cards from my personal & original hand signed set.... its scary how impossible it is to tell. To prevent these signed cards being passed off as original hand signed items I have used very similar card to Biante, however it is white backed card not grey as Biante always use.
The original unsigned cards are also included in this auction; however having the signed copy cards inside adds great interest and point of difference to your collection. "
