He would scribble a short opinion on the copy itself occaisionally signing his opinion in full or more commonly his characteristic "CH". I would send a xerox of the item since the main question was whether the signature pattern or the writing looked genuine. And yet, even now, 15 years later, it appears that to some degree, he hasn't gotten over it and I think is still struggling with who this "friend" of his really is/was? As far as Hamilton is concerned, I never thought to ask his opinion about an item whose image wasn't clearly shown. Who among us, if offered such a chance at essentially the start of one's career, might not be at least temporarily blindsided. The story NPR and John himself paints is that of a young man who comes across what he believes is going to be the holy grail and the mother load of a financial windfall. I remember buying a George Washington presidential appointment for what I think was a bargain price at the time. He had an apparent quick need for cash, but like I said, the reason was unknown to me. He would send out a 4 page flyer with prices marked down I would say at least 40%. In, and around 1997 or so, John appeared to be having a fire sale. In 1997, it appeared that John might go under, although I had no idea why at the time.
Certainly not from him, and John is quite vocal about material he considers bad and dealers who are a little lax when it comes to authentication.
Although John and I have had numerous back and forths about autographs, I had never heard the story about the Monroe/Kennedy documents. I have known John Reznikoff for a number of years and have purchased from University Archives since at least 1997 if not earlier. I just happened to be listening to the same program this past Saturday, which was quite by accident for me because I usually listen to prerecorded programs on my IPOD through the auxillary jack in my car, but the car I was driving did not have an auxillary jack so I turned on NPR. It is interesting that the NPR program noted above was brought up. Posted Feb 15, 11 10:46 by Bernard Biales ( bernard b) He has, over the years, been an expert witness in various high-profile criminal/legal cases, has appeared on various television and radio shows - including Howard Stern years ago when he simply walked into his studio to give Howard some expert advice on a show in progress! That's John. He has a great ability to generate publicity for his businesses, and this story, about his collection/inventory of hair is a good example. John has evolved from a stamp dealer to become one of the most important dealers in autographs/manuscripts in this country. Underneath the story, if you scroll down a bit, is a link to another story "Legacy of a Hank of Hair" which is a teriffic story involving a great guy and co-owner of an important stamp company - John Reznikoff. The link provided by Ken to the story of Bill Ainsworth's Lincoln Collection Sale is also interesting beyond, of course, the great story about Bill's wonderful collection.
