Does anyone know the real Nicholas Burczyk story?

Richard I knew that.

These "vanilla" COAs could be used with anything down the line as well.

Yes, that is the scary thing about those COA's. A copy machine/printer can make a forger semi-credible on ebay at any moment.
The one consolation is that the autographed items I am seeing, with these COA's, are selling for pennies on the dollar. $12-$50 for Mantle, Williams, Dimaggio, Koufax and even for dual signed photos of those players. Some items of those guys I have seen offered at $29.99 and they dont even sell. So, the good news is that the ebay buyer is smartening up.
It also appears that many of the low prices realized sale items are winding up in the hands of another seller and then a few days later, the item appears again.

The ads indicate that you may contact their customer service department with any questions about Burcyzk.

I found lots of references to him on the net; none of them were postive.

I forwarded his home address and phone number, hopefully it is still valid!

A customer service dept. of an autograph seller who is using Burczyk COA's, well I doubt if they will tell me anything. But I am trying.
And Jim - that phone number has been changed to an unknown number.
The mystery of Mr Burczyk continues.

He was a handwritting expert who lived in Wisconson. He worked for the Courts and did not do sports. All court documents where he was an expert witness always include his title, Doctor.

He was also involved in the pro life movement and wrote articles on the subject and for a short time a blog.

This is just a case of someone usings his identity to put on a fake certificate

Murph - considering the board does not really know you (2 posts) please don't take offense at my questions, but how can we confirm what you are saying? What is your source for this information? I think that it might be true (the part about fake certs), but I really need proof of what you say. If the certificates are fake, which is certainly a strong possibility, I would like to be able to prove that.
