Yeah. His pitch is the "Walter Payton card show" his father did a while back and he has tons of inventory. I assumed the deal as lost, but when he actually sent something, I wanted to make sure to post. Just more evidence in this long and winding case.

The fact that he sent something to you might have something to do with me contacting his department and sending his supervisor a long two page email regarding his exploits. I explained if I (and James) do not get a resolution I would be forwarding my complaint to his Sheriff, the California Attorney General's office, and the US Attorney's office in their district. I have not heard back from his supervisor so I will forward my complaint on. By him actually sending something, I assume he knows of my complaint.

Just for correct info, Jose is a deputy sheriff who works for Napa County Sheriff's Office outside of San Francisco California.

James and Kirk, please do me a favor and keep your mailings, photos, and correspondence with this thief in case someone will actually deal with the situation. Jason

Jose tried to sell me 6 diff 75 Topps Moose as well as a 71T Gil Hodges. All bad.

If anyone is interested in pursuing this guy please let me know. As some may know I am a NJ
Attorney and former prosecutor. In the 80s and 90s I used to write for several magazines
And consulted on several Krause Annuals.
It's time to stop these forgers.

If anyone wants to file a lawsuit, I would suggest you do it through small claims against Mr. Tijero and against the San Bernadino County Sheriff's dept. He has represented to several people that he is a San BErnadino Sheriff (which he is) and thus they should be made a party. Obviously they have no liability but I can assure you that if they are named they will pay attention to this guys actions.

Per the rules of this forum, if you will be commenting on actual people, you need to put in your real name.

I have spoke with some others and used there info along with mine when I reached out to San Bernadino SO. I was told there was not an Internal Affairs unit and I was referred to his direct supervisor. I sent the supervisor a long email regarding some of what has occurred and invited him to search himself. I also gave him a timeline to get back to me before I reached out to the Sheriff of San Bernardino along with the State State Attorney office as well as the US Attorney in the San Francisco area. That time came and went, but I have been so busy I have been unable to follow up in the last few weeks. It does need to stop so I am on board with any legal action. Jason

I wanted to make everyone aware that Jose Tijero has resurfaced on eBay under the username "us_caine," though I did not know of his illustrious reputation until I came upon this (and other) threads on the board after the fact.

I purchased a raw 1964 Topps Tony Conigliaro autographed card from him last month, and promptly sent it to PSA. PSA deemed the autograph to be of "questionable authenticity." Jose was very combative and uncooperative throughout the return/resolution process, and I ended up having to get a refund from eBay directly (as the eCheck refund he issued was declined from his bank).

Jose recently sold many scarce raw autographed gum cards from this account, including a Tim Horton and a Hank Thompson, so if you happened to be the buyer of one of these cards, you might want to send it out for authentication/take a second look at it.

Just wanted to post that us_caine is still at it; he posted a forged Howie Fox earlier today.
