Herman Darvick of Rockville Center, New York is still claiming to be an autograph expert. After dozens of years of denying he forges autograhps, with much preesure from those who witnessed him doing so, he finally came clean an admitted in writing that he forged autographs. His specialty seems to be Presidents of the United States but for decades and unlimited amount of high end items signed by Marc Chagall, Joan Miro and Salvador Dali have flooded the hobby, with Darvick COA's even today on eBay.
According to his COA's Darvick states: "He was President of the Universal Autograph Collectors Club." What he fails to tell you is that he was thrown out of the club by the UACC Ethics Committee for serious ethics violations.
On his COA's he has said "Herman Darvick PSA/DNA Authentication Services Expert."
On the same COA right under the above he continues: "This is not a PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity." One can only wonder how many PSA/DNA COA's that bear his signature have the wrong conclusion.
This is the same Herman Darvick that at his auctions he sold several forged items signed by Shoeless Joe Jackson. JACKSON SIGNATURES ARE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND BEING SOLD DURING THE LAST CENTURY. Experts in sports autographs all deemed the items not authentic. Many requests, in writing, for Darvick to contact the buyers were ignored.
One of Darvicks associates in Connecticut, were selling Marc Chagall prints by 100 signed items per order. They contained forged signatures of Marc Chagall and Darvick has been selling them since. Even today, on eBay you can find these prints with bogus signatures being sold by uneducated sellers of autographs that come with a Davick COA.
Below, see a few examples from this week....

Darvick is the fellow who wants you to spend money with him so he can authenticate your autographs. HIS POSTING ABOVE IS MOST EMBARRASSING
It is obviously the very common signature of Sir John Glubb (1897-1986). A British General who formed , commanded and trained the Arab Legion under King Hussein.
