It's nothing against Ohio (I'm still a big Reds fan after many years removed). It is simply in reference to the fact that many reproductions and bogus items have originated there.
I haven't monitored it as much lately, but for a while it seemed that every questionable (or downright fake) piece on ebay was being sold by an Ohio-based seller.
I'm sure that others who read this can verify, and perhaps even reel off some of those sellers' names.
