Steve “anti-Semite” Cyrkin once owned Starbrite Autographs. He closed down that website for more then two years explaining that he was attempting to remove all the forgeries from his inventory. He told this to a select few however posted on the website for years was that it was under construction. The business never reopened and finally folded. It is believed that the confused Cyrkin, not knowing much about autographs and unable to tell the forgeries from genuine autographs sold his inventory to Gary King. It is interesting to note that King who resides in England sits on the Ethics Board of the UACC. Did he also not know what he was purchasing?

Cyrkin purchased the highly successful Autograph Collectors Magazine but its success didn’t last long. Cyrkin published stories illustrating forged autographs stating how wonderful and genuine the signatures were. Even more embarrassing he ran contests in the magazine and in some cases the prize was a celebrity signed photo that contained a forged signature.

Cyrkin’s real downfall was calling an autograph dealer who was Jewish the most insulting word anyone could think of calling a Jew. Cyrkin became known as the hobby’s anti-Semite-worldwide. His magazine was blacklisted by hobbyists and it folded shortly thereafter.

Cykin’s next move to try and get even with the hobby. He began to support the fraudsters and forgers in the hobby. He supports authenticators who are incompetent but fit his agenda. Cyrkin’s next move was to attack many of the legitimate dealers and those who are quite capable of authenticating and trash them. He went after some who were selling 100% genuine autographs, stating they were forgeries.

Cyrkin’s blog is filled with nothing but hate and he still attacks those who have the best interest of the hobby. He has a small following of obvious imbeciles that admit they know little or nothing about autographs as witnesses in other published articles.

Cyrkin’s world is still crashing as this beaten looser in the field of autographs finally breaks down.

In a recent December email Cyrkin post the following on his blog: “Heck, I run the joint and I’m not an expert in anything,”

This individual who has a long history of commenting negativity on persons who only sell genuine autographs finally admits he is not an expert.

Cyrkin’s hateful site is presently going after two respectable auction houses both who refuse to pay for advertising on Cyrkin’s blog. One of the auction houses is the respectable Julien’s Auction’s of Beverly Hills, California. This auction house was a Cyrkin favorite while they paid for ads on his site. Julien’s pulled their ads after discovering Cyrkin’s past. Since pulling the ads Cyrkin has been attacking Julien’s on what appears to be a daily basis. The other auction house being bashed by Cyrkin’s site is also not a advertiser. Matter of fact the several dealers Cyrkin has attacked are not advertisers of Cyrkin’s site.

Legitimate autograph dealers and auction houses shy away from advertising on Crykin’s site as they are well aware that collectors steer away from anything to do with Cyrkin.

As of this writing Cyrkin is being sued and word around the hobby is others are following

Steven Cyrkin - Insurance Fraud Part 1 of 3
Most of you reading this are very aware of the name Steve Cyrkin. Up

to now he may be best known as the autograph hobby’s anti-Semite.

Google his name. See what has been written about this individual on

many web-sites. Nearly everyone in the autograph hobby has been

affected by this individual and none of it is positive. He ran an

autograph business named StarBrite where the inventory was chock full

of forgeries. After being exposed, Cyrkin himself stated in writing

that he was shutting down his website as he removed all the forgeries.

The website never came back up. Posted on the website for years was a

statement that it was closed for maintenance. His Autograph magazine

failed miserably. It ended up being an embarrassment to the hobby.

This simply indicates that whatever Cyrkin touches goes bad. The

implosion of his two autograph related companies is known worldwide

and the handful of those who chose to be associated with this

individual is said to be on the “dark side” of the hobby.



The following story will be written in three parts. There is so much

to say about the hobby’s well known anti-Semite. This horrible title

was brought upon by himself when Cyrkin was *** enough to insult,

in writing, a well known Jewish autograph dealer. Cyrkin called him

the very worst thing anyone could call a person of the Jewish faith.

This alone indicates Cyrkin being of sick mind!



Part one of this story deals with what can be called “insurance

fraud.” The following information has been taken from filed court

documents.



An insurance company named Provident Life and Accident Insurance

Company filed a lawsuit against Steven L. Cyrkin who held a policy

with this company. The judge who handled the case was Honorable Linda

H. McLaughlin.



The case was for a policy that arose out of a claim by Cyrkin on two

disability policies issued by Provident to Cyrkin. The policy insured

Cyrkin for disability from his regular occupation as a coin grader.



How many of you reading this have taken out an insurance policy in

case you are unable to do your job?



Cyrkin claims his “regular occupation was a coin grader.” “Cyrkin

submitted a statement of claim form to Provident claiming that he was

disabled under the terms of his policy.”



“Provident Insurance Company paid Cyrkin disability benefits under his

policy-----were paid subject to a full reservation of rights and

defenses, including the right to demand reimbursement if it is found

benefits were not due under the policies.”



“Provident stopped making payments under Cyrkin’s disability policy

-------and Provident filed an action for Declaratory Judgment and

Restitution.”



The case continues. “Motion argued that based on the undisputed facts

Provident was entitled to Summary Judgment declaring that Cyrkin was

not totally disabled under the terms of his policy.”



“Upon from that Declaration, Cyrkin submitted no evidence to

contradict any of the undisputed facts established by Provident.”



“Judge Linda H. McLaughlin issued the Court’s decision granting

Provident’s Motion for Summary Judgment in full.”



“In its decision, the District Court found as follows: Cyrkin failed

to offer any evidence to support his claim that he has been totally

disabled at any time ------Cyrkin was not disabled during the time

that those payments were made and he was therefore unjustly enriched

by those benefits.”



Provident paid $553,000 in disability payments to Cyrkin while it

investigated Cyrkin’s claim!

(Most bank robbers don’t walk away with this amount of money!)



During this time, Cyrkin was a coin grader and shareholder for

Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Cyrkin’s supervisor in his

capacity as a coin grader was David Hall.



David Hall along with another owned 50% of the business and Cyrkin owned 10%.



(For those who might not know, David Hall is the co-founder and

president of Collectors Universe, parent company of PSA/DNA.)



We continue to quote from court documents: “Cyrkin claimed that due to his disability he could no longer work as a coin grader at PCGS with David Hall.” “Cyrkin also

believed that he was not disabled from working as a coin grader

outside of Mr. Hall’s presence.” “Cyrkin reported to the independent

medical examiner, Dr. Gottschalk, that he believed he could function

as a coin grader at some other location other than PCGS.”



“Cyrkin’s treating psychiatrist Dr. Robert Linden agreed that Cyrkin

was disabled from working as a coin grader with David Hall.”

“Independent Medical Examiner, Dr. Gottschalk also believed that

Cyrkin was not disabled from working as a coin grader, independent of

David Hall.” Two other psychiatrists who conducted independent

medical examinations, Dr. Sheffner and Dr. Sharta, opined that Cyrkin

was not disabled from his occupation.”



“Cyrkin provided no evidence to support his claim that he was disabled

from his occupation as a coin grader.”



“The only Declaration submitted by Cyrkin in support of his

application was his own Declaration which provided several facts

regarding his psychological condition but did not state that he was

disabled from working as a coin grader outside of Mr. Hall’s

presence.”



“The Court properly decided that, based on the undisputed facts,

Provident’s denial of Cyrkin”s claim was reasonable and Cyrkin was not

entitled to extra contractual damages.”



“The Trial Court did not err when it found that Provident was entitled

to Summary Judgment on its claim for Declaration Relief and

Restitution------”



It is interesting to note and continue to quote from Court documents.

“Cyrkin did not submit any evidence to contradict all the doctor’s

opinions that he was not totally disabled from his occupation as a

coin grader.”



“District Court Judge Linda H. McLaughlin signed an Order:

1) granting summary judgment in favor of Provident on its first cause

of action for Declaratory Relief.

2) granting summary judgment in favor of Provident on its second cause

of action for restitution.

3) granting summary judgment in favor of Provident on the second count

of Cyrkin’s counterclaim for breach of contract.

4) granting summary judgment in favor of Provident on the first count

of Cyrkin’s counterclaim for breach of the implied covenant of good

faith and fair dealing, and

5) granting summary judgment in favor of Provident on Cyrkin’s claim

for punitive damages.”



Learn the shocking truth! In part two, learn what Steven L. Cyrkin has

to say, in his own words, telling the Court what he feels is his

medical and mental condition. It may not come as a surprise to those

who know Cyrkin what the medical doctor’s findings are and what they

have to say about Steve Cyrkin.



Learn why the past and current actions of Steve Cyrkin, as an anti-Semite and hater of

legitimate autograph dealers, can somewhat make some sense now based on his

medical and mental condition.


Steven Cyrkin Medical and Mental Condition Part 2 of 3
In Part 2 of this story, we will discuss the medical and mental

condition of Steve Cyrkin, the hobby’s anti-Semite. Most information

listed in this story is taken from filed court documents.




The court case arises out of a claim on two disability policies issued

by Provident Insurance Company to Cyrkin which insured Cyrkin for

disability from his regular occupation as a “coin grader.” Cyrkin

submitted a Statement of Claim form to Provident claiming that he was

disabled.




Provident issued a Motion accompanied by a memorandum of Points and

Authorities, and a Statement of Undisputed Facts. In response, Cyrkin

submitted no evidence to contradict any of the undisputed facts

established by Provident.




The Court found that Cyrkin was not disabled during the time that

payments were made and he was therefore unjustly enriched by those

benefits.




Cyrkin’s claim was that he was totally disabled from his occupation

due to his depression. Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) was

willing at the time to hire Cyrkin as a coin grader however Cyrkin

believed he was disabled from working as a coin grader with David

Hall. Cyrkin also believed that he was NOT disabled from working as a

coin grader outside of Mr. Hall’s presence.




Cyrkin reported to the independent medical examiner, Dr. Gottschalk,

that he believed he could function as a coin grader at some other

location other than PCGS.




Cyrkin’s treating psychiatrist was Dr. Robert Linden. The independent

Medical Examiner was Dr. Gottschalk and other psychiatrists who

conducted independent medical examinations were Dr. Sheffner and Dr.

Sharma. They opined that Cyrkin was not disabled from his occupation.




The only Declaration submitted by Cyrkin in support of his opposition

was his own Declaration which provided several facts regarding his

psychological condition.




All of the following facts set forth in Cyrkin’s declaration and were

accepted by the trial court as undisputed. At different times,

Cyrkin was diagnosed with Depression, Attention Deficit Disorder,

Avoidant Personality Disorder and Panic Disorder.




Avoidant Personality Disorder in adults means emotional black mail, a

system of threats and punishment on a person in an attempt to control

their behavior. False accusations, distortion campaigns with some

campaigns are patterns of unwarranted or exaggerated criticism which

occur when a personality disorder individual tries to feel good about

themselves, by putting down someone else. Attacks are usually against

a family member, friend or partner.




Without treatment, a person with Avoidant Personality Disorder maybe

resigned to a life of near or total isolation. They may go on to

divulge a second psychiatric disorder such as substance abuse or a

mood order such as depression.




After Cyrkin’s therapy, he noted that prior to his alleged disability

he had avoided other people besides David Hall. He also noted that

his problems with his current business partner are similar to those he

experienced with David Hall. Cyrkin still suffers from anxiety and

Avoidant Personality Disorder and, as a result of his psychological

problems, he is unable to work with his supervisor and the controlling

shareholder of PCGS, David Hall.




Treating Cyrkin was Dr. Linden and he noted in a letter to Provident

information that was pointed out by Cyrkin. It found that Cyrkin had

suffered a “Major Depressive Episode”…..in the context of a long

standing residual attention-deficit disorder with hyperactivity.




Cyrkin also points out that he described anxiety symptoms which can

typically accompany depressive episodes and that these symptoms are

suggestive of a Panic Disorder.




Cyrkin relies on Dr. Sharma’s acknowledgement in his report are the

results from one of the psychological tests he conducted were

“consistent with a person who is aloof and distant and

moralistic…..and may be consistent with paranoid disorder.” Dr.

Sharma’s test results showed some psychological problems. That fact

was accepted by the Court as undisputed.




Cyrkin had the burden of demonstrating that he was totally disabled

under the terms of his policy. It was Provident that sued Steven L.

Cyrkin in this case.




Provident was undoubtedly elated that the District Court chose to

selectively weigh the statements of medical providers concerning

Cyrkin;s psychiatric condition.




Below is taken from the Declaration of Steven Cyrkin in Support of

Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment. The Declaration

was submitted to the trial court. This Declaration was signed under

penalty of perjury by Steven Cyrkin.




The following are Cyrkin’s own words: “I still get seriously

depressed, although thanks to the Welbutrin I am able to pull myself

out of depression after a while. With great struggle….I no longer have

a drinking problem.” “I still suffer daily from anxiety and what I

have come to know as a avoidant personality disorder, both of which

seriously affect me. I also take Ritalin three times a day now for

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), which seems to help a bit. More than

anything else, the Avoidant Personality Disorder affects me, keeping me from doing

even things like writing, and calling certain family members, paying

my bills and other seeming innocuous things.”




Cyrkin was prepared to testify at trial concerning his mental and

emotional condition. His own Declaration stated that he had several

personality problems, stresses, and indeed physical problems.




There were numerous statements by treating and attending physicians

that showed depression, paranoia, avoidant personality disorders, and

other psychiatric factors.




Steve Cyrkin’s association with the autograph hobby has been reduced

to a problematic web site which is full of hate. Most anything posted

on his site that points out Cyrkin’s mistakes or are critical of

Cyrkin are immediately removed. Many of his readers/posters have been

banned from his site.




If any person or organization is singled out and attacked by Cyrkin

you can bet your last dollar that they are actually one of the good

guys. As for the handful left of Cyrkin supporters/advertisers simply

Google their names. Almost all have a very dark side of selling

forgeries, mis-authenticating autographs for their personal gain and

more. One can only imagine the type of individual that wants to be

associated with a person like Cyrkin. Cyrkin's medical and mental condition

has done so much to hurt an insurance company and this hobby.

Do they know about the pricey Elvis Presley autograph that he bought? We hear that the State of California offers a reward for people who turn in people like Steve Cyrkin. Who will be the first to collect the reward?



Bill Lockyer, State Treasurer, 916-653-2995

California Tax Board, Fraud Department 800-338-0505

Orange County Assessors, Fraud Department 714-834-2727

Will Steven Louis Cyrkin’s family members be named in future liens? Names to look for are Carol Louise Cyrkin, Shannon R. Cyrkin and Elizabeth Ann Payne. Autograph News Live is not done pulling tax returns. Who else on Steve Cyrkin’s blog have not been paying their fair share? A certain forensic accountant would know.
