Why Join the UACC ? As with all collectibles, there are things of which the new collector should be aware. Unscrupulous individuals have been known to take advantage of new collectors by offering them supposedly great deals on rare and desirable autographs at bargain prices. Some of the best reasons to join us are:
The UACC publishes the Pen & Quill, an award winning publication that is sent to our members with articles and news in the field of autograph collecting. The UACC holds conventions and educational classes throughout the world on all phases of collecting including preservation and identification of forgeries. The UACC sponsors literary and service awards for the membership. The UACC has a Code of Ethical Standards and By-Laws that each member is required to abide and an aggressive Ethics Board to mediate disputes and uphold the club's high standards. Once you join the UACC your name will be added to our mailing list and you will receive auction catalogs from various reputable dealers from around the globe. The UACC also keeps you posted on forgeries, rubber-stamped signatures, secretarial signatures, Autopens and facsimiles.
Once you send in your membership application, it takes a few weeks to add you to our database and depending on when you join you will receive a copy of our journal The Pen & Quill along with a membership card if you request. Remember, all the people who work for the UACC do so as volunteers. Please be patient and considerate when contacting them with your requests. Should you have any questions, go to our contact page and find the most appropriate person to email.
