PRESTIGE COLLECTIBLES AND GIFTS or AUTOGRAPH AUTHENTICATION STORE spends on advertising.

It seems that Brian Burkel keeps changing the name of his company---it previously was AUTHENTIC AUTOGRAPHS, MMP COLLECTIBLES AND MANY MORE ALIASES=== plus he changes the the url to his forged autograph store every month. THIS WAY WHEN HE STARTS GETTING BAD REVIEWS ON SEARCHES, HE WIPES HIS SLATE CLEAN. I suspect that his spending is over $30,000.00 per month in google shopping ad clicks according to a former employee of Burkel's who has contributed posts to this site..

ONE WAY TO PUT BRIAN BURKEL.... PRESTIGE COLLECTIBLES OUT OF BUSINESS IS ECONOMICALLY. JUST GO TO HIS SITE EVERY DAY AND CLICK ON FIVE ITEMS . DO IT ON DIFFERENT COMPUTERS IF POSSIBLE. I SUSPECT THAT HE IS PAYING AT LEAST FIFTY CENTS PER CLICK TO GOOGLE PRODUCT LISTING ADS. IF ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR ALMOST ANY MUSICIAN, YOU CAN CLICK ON HIS AD. THAT'S HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THAT BURKEL WILL BE SHELLING OUT PER DAY AND THOUSANDS PER WEEK.

If one does a search on CHROME google shopping for BOB DYLAN AUTOGRAPH ,you will find all 25 results lead to

https://gr-8-gift.com/product/bob-dylan-signed-bob-dylans-greatest-...

https://www.google.com/search?q=bob+dylan+autograph&rlz=1C1CHBF...

Here is Jimi Hendrix

https://gr-8-gift.com/product/jimi-hendrix-experience-band-signed-a...

Burkel does not advertise for PAID clicks on Bing/ Microsoft so all searches must be on Chrome with GOOGLE SEARCH PRODUCT LISTING ADS

Please realize this works with almost any popular artist searches. Here are a few examples:

THERE ARE EIGHT COPIES OF THE SAME JOHNNY CASH AT SAN QUENTIN LP ON PRESTIGE AUTOGRAPHS--JUST $220.00...WOW, WHAT A BARGAIN !!=-

https://www.google.com/search?q=johnny+cash++autograph&rlz=1C1C...

beatles autograph..beatles autograph

So my point is that the forger Brian Burkel is spending literally tens of thousands of dollars every month in order to get clicks on google shopping.

A person can do a search for Jimi Hendrix Autograph and you can purchase it for $731.00...What a bargain

https://www.google.com/search?q=jimi+hendrix+autograph&rlz=1C1C...

You can do a search for the doors autograph with Jim Morrison

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS792US792&sxsrf=AL...

and purchase the LP for $500.00

Please note that the company does not accept paypal FAQ

Here is a beauty of Eric Clapton from Prestige Autographs owned by MASTER FORGER BRIAN BURKEL ==ONLY $206.00:

One would think that the chargebacks from MASTERCARD AND VISA would have the company thrown off.

HERE IS CELINE DION ON PRESTIGE AUTOGRAPHS SITE--ONLY $187.00

Here is the GUARANTEE that https://gr-8-gift.com/customer-help/ ; offers:

IT SEEMS THAT THE AUTHORITIES ARE NOT GOING AFTER THIS GUY EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS TO STATE AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Does anyone else have a suggestion to get rid of this menace who has been ripping off 'Moms and Pops"................not people who are on this site who have some degree of sophistication.

Rock fest organizer facing felony charge

The man behind the failed Darrington event allegedly wrote a bad check for $36,000.

By Kaitlin Manry
Herald Writer

DARRINGTON -- A man who left for China after his rock festival tanked in 2006 may soon have to face the music.

Brian Burkel, the ex-convict who planned the Darrington Rock Festival and allegedly didn't pay dozens of workers and bands -- including classic rock acts Cheap Trick, Mark Farner and Randy Bachman -- could face a felony charge for allegedly writing a $36,000 bad check, Snohomish County Sheriff's Detective Tommy Koziol said.

Koziol has forwarded the results of his investigation to the Snohomish County Prosecutor's Office. Prosecutors will decide whether there is evidence to charge Burkel.

Because they weren't paid, Cheap Trick, Farner and Bachman didn't play, angering fans.

"I'd rather not comment," said Burkel, who makes a living selling autographs on the Internet. "I'm tired of thinking about it, reading about it, hearing about it. I think everything I had to say I told you last time, which is just that it was a failed business."
Burkel blames the concert disaster on thieving colleagues whom he accuses of breaking into his trailer, stealing his checkbook and writing checks he couldn't cover.

The sheriff's office concluded that Burkel wrote a bum check for $36,000 owed to his marketing manager, Bob Conrad of Knightime Direction in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Detectives looked into other bad checks Burkel allegedly wrote. Investigators had trouble getting in contact with the check recipients and because of that decided against recommend additional charges, Koziol said.

Some of the issues regarding the concert, such as ticket-holders feeling cheated after the headline bands didn't play, are better handled in a civil lawsuit than a criminal investigation, Koziol said.

"Unfortunately, a large majority of what happened is a civil issue," he said. "My whole thing came down to one check with Conrad. Out of all the people I spoke with, that was all it came down to."

The investigation was stalled for months because detectives couldn't find Burkel, Koziol said.

A few days after the August 2006 concert, Burkel, 50 at the time, moved to Guangzhou, China, where he said he was living with his bride, who he called "an angel from China." Burkel recently moved back to Maple Valley. He hung up on a reporter before he could be asked about his marital status.

If convicted with unlawful issuance of bank checks -- a Class C felony -- Burkel could face jail time or fines.
