John Reznikoff Question

Spent a few minutes on the UACC homepage and noticed that bio of world renowned autograph collector and dealer John Reznikoff has been wiped clean.

There is a picture of Reznikoff still listed under "Our Team" on the UACC homnepage. e But under the sub-headings of "UACC story" and "Collector Profile"...only the word "pending" appears...there is absolutely NO information about this highly prized member of our hobby. Unless John Reznikoff has never been a UACC member and is in the process of being vetted....but then why is there a color photo of him but no bio information????

You can check for your self on the UACC homepage under "Our Team".

|What gives??

I've changed the title of this discussion for now. It was unfair to leave as it was.

I doubt they would still have his photo and title if there was an issue. not having his bio would not be something I personally would be concerned about.

The UACC posted a photo taken last week of Reznikoff with UACC president Mike Hecht on their Facebook page. The caption reads:

Great photo of UACC President Michael Hecht (R) and longtime UACC supporter and Director John Reznikoff.

Thanks for the update Steve...Two good lookin' fellas!!

I'd be curious to know Steve if these two gentlemen had any discussion either in general or specifically about the Mastro auction shill bidding list?

I believe that the government generated list featured the names of several prominent figures in our hobby, exposing them as serial shill bidders.

If it wasn't discussed I think it should have been.(IMO)

A missed opportunity? Perhaps.

I don't know, Don. It hasn't been discussed here, probably because vintage sports haven't been a major topic of discussion on Autograph Live.

Did you post a link to this government list? Sorry if I missed it. Would be curious to see it.

There are at least two discussions on Mastro, its executives and shill bidding already. Please post and discuss the shill bidding list in one of these discussions. Mastro isn't mentioned in the original post. This discussion accused John Reznikoff of being suspended from the UACC, which wasn't true anyway.

Pick from one of these:

Steve...may I please correct the record...

I in no way accused Mr. Reznikoff of being suspended from his directorship at UACC.

I DID ask a question since the biographical information of Mr. Reznikoff was missing at the very same time his name appeared multiple times on a serial shill bidders list that was researched and published not by me but by government and F.B.I. sources working in tandem.

The connection was plausible. The question was plausible. Your research indicated that was not the case and I thanked you for that.

I will post a link to the list with your permission then Steve ??

I don't want to ruffle any feathers...
