REZNIKOFF, John. Many call him the #1 20th & 21st
Century Rogue seller of autographs. He teamed up with forger
(sent to prison) Lawrence Cusack III and helped him sell nearly
8 million dollars worth of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe
forgeries to over 100 investors. This breaks the past record
in the history of autograph collecting of selling forgeries.
The old record was held by Mark Hoffman, the Mormon forger and
murderer who is presently in prison. Hoffman’s sales reached
only three million dollars. Cusack went to prison after his
partner Reznikoff turned on him. Reznikoff has been involved
in many other scandals as well. Authenticating and partnering
in the sale of the Elvis Presley lyrics that came from Germany.
Reznikoff had to refund $75,000 on one of the lyrics sold to
a prominent dealer. Reznikoff’s mis-authentications are
legendary such as the forged Ronald Reagan presidential Oath
of Office, the John Hancock/John Paul Jones document which if
genuine would have been worth $150,000.

- Reznikoff’s scandal of him advising
the media of his purchase of Neil Armstrong’s hair has became
an industry joke. The barber who sold the hair to a mid western
autograph dealer clearly states he never heard of John Reznikoff.
Reznikoff because of the sale of forged JFK/Marilyn Monroe autographs
had to resign from "PADA" an autograph organization
he helped to organize. Because of ethics violations filed against
him, Reznikoff tried to resign from the IACC/DA, another prestigious
autograph organization. Reznikoff was expelled from the IACC/DA.
DARVICK, Herman. A New York school teacher and autograph
collector who became disgraced after being expelled from the
UACC, an autograph club he once held the position of president.
During the late 70’s and early 80’s Darvick could be
found at New York autograph shows forging the autographs of several
presidents of the United States for those who requested examples.
Darvick wrote a children’s book on autographs and admits
in a presentation inscription in one of his books that the reader
will never be able to guess which autographs illustrated in the
book were actually signed by him. Darvick’s attempt to deal
in autographs failed with his New York Autograph Auctions. Numerous
items he sold, that came with his lifetime money back guarantee,
were forgeries. Today, those who have located Darvick, looking
for refunds, are told his guarantee is worthless. He claims he
is no longer in the autograph business, which is not true. He
is selling items on eBay regularly and has teamed up with John
Reznilkoff. These autograph outlaws have produced a limited edition
of 300 of what they "claim" are stamps from the collection
of Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of our beloved President John
F. Kennedy. In this edition, the seedy Darvick states he is the
agent for Robert L. Oswald.
Offered is a very rare combination of genuine autographs of these
two "autograph outlaws" on the same piece of paper.
Together with original color photographs. A rare opportunity
to add these autographs to any collection of undesirables…........................................SOLD
