NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM UACC
PRESIDENT MICHAEL HECHT

Here we are  entering the year 2010. I would like to wish each and every member all my best for the new year and hope each of you will bear with us during this year with the changes we will be making to the website and with the UACC itself. These changes are necessary for the survival of the organization and in the end will make us a much stronger club.
Again thanks to all of you for your continued support.

Michael Hecht

UACC ADDRESSES THIRD PARTY AUTHENTICATIONS
With the increase of Autograph Authentication by third parties on the rise the UACC's Board of Directors has issued the following policy:
"The UACC does not recognize third party authentication certificates not done to professional standards approved by the courts". Court approved standard is that which uses chain of evidence. This eliminates so-called quick authentications done without proper research and
supporting data.
