This University Computing Company specimen stock certificate was printed in 1969 and features Charles Wyly Jr as president. Wyly worked for IBM with Ross Perot before stepping out of his own to open University Computing which would earn him the billionaire status. University Computing Company (UCC) was founded in 1963 on the campus of Southern Methodist University. The company was a data processing service bureau. In the mid 1980's it changed it's name to UCCEL Corp. In 1987 UCCEL was bought by it's main competitor, Computer Associates.

Specimen stock certificates are certificates that were archived by printers and the company as perfect examples of the company’s stock issue. Specimen’s can be identified by their “specimen” stamp, stamped holes spelling “specimen”, or they are often issued with a serial number of a series of zeros. Often, they are also issued with no serial number at all. Specimens can also represent a design that was never issued. All of these attributes make the specimen stock certificate rarer than the issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily.
