Thanks for looking up a phone number Tom but that listed number of his is out of service and his current number is unlisted or its the phone number of an old lady whose husband was Nicholas Burczyk (not the one we are interested in) and who was ripped off in some identity theft scam. At least that is what she told me.
According to the information from various ebay autograph sellers, he was/is a professor, author, lecturer and court qualified forensic examiner who authenticated thousands of baseball autographs in the early 1990's. How amazing that the owners of those autographs sat on them for 17-18 years and now at virtually the same time, they have all decided to sell them at the very absolute lowest prices that Mantle and Williams signed pictures have ever sold for.
I saw one seller ( I call them sellers because they are not autograph dealers, autograph dealers do have some knowledge about their product and most have a non ebay presence in the hobby ) claim that Burczyk authenticated for Scoreboard. Amazing how those COA's never appeared until now. That Scoreboard would spend all that money to have a forensic examiner examine their autographs and never use his certs.
If Mr Burczyk was all the things that the ebay sellers claim he is then where is that information? I could find nothing on the internet to subtantiate those claims. Nothing he has written, nothing about any lectures and nothing that details any court case he could have been involved in and nothing in his past about any sports autographs authentication. The only thing I find is negative comments about his authentications from various blog posts. The only biographical information is from the ebay sellers who make the claims I wrote about above. And the ebay sellers get that information from the ebay seller that they bought the crap from or from the seller on other auction sites that they bought their crap from. There are general auction closeout type sites now that are auctioning jewelry, appliances and autographs and the suckers are buying them there and then foisting them on suckers on ebay. It is one ridiculous merry go round.
In my opinion the whole Burczyk thing is one big scam.
