HISTORY

The Universal Autograph Collector's Club, Inc. (UACC) has been dedicated to educating autograph collectors since its establishment in 1965. As one of the premier collector's organizations worldwide, the UACC has grown and developed from a Long Island group of collectors. Our history reflects our commitment to both educating collectors and introducing the hobby to those interested.

With members spanning over 20 different countries, the UACC stands as the largest autograph organization globally. We offer various resources to educate our members, including our website, journal, classes, and publications.

By joining the UACC, you will have the opportunity to engage with the fastest-growing hobby in the world today. Autographs, often referred to as frozen moments in time, hold immense personal value as heartfelt gifts. Collecting autographs allows you to curate your own museum archives of history. Join us and experience the fun firsthand.

OUR MEMBERSHIP FOCUS IS — EDUCATION & RESOURCES

The Univeral Autograph Collector Club (UACC) places great emphasis on education as its primary goal. Through comprehensive educational resources and dedicated services, we aim to empower our members and help them achieve success in their pursuit of collectibles.

While we do provide recommendations for auction companies, authenticators, and dealers through our trusted directory, it is important to note that the responsibility lies with the collectors to conduct thorough research. We encourage collectors to establish a relationship based on trust and value before engaging in any third-party services.

FAQ: What about dealers or related companies that are not listed in your directories?
If a dealer, auction company, authenticator, appraiser, or any other collectible-based service is not listed within our organization, it does not imply that they are not a reputable company in any way. It simply means they are not part of our current UACC directories. Additionally, if they are not listed in our company's directories, they are not authorized to promote their company in any manner associated with the UACC organization, including the use of our exclusive UACC Dealer Logo in any form of print and digital media.

In conclusion, the UACC is an educational club where we teach and exchange ideas about our shared hobby. We are not the police nor a platform for those with malicious intentions to attack their competitors. We will always treat any company with respect and courtesy, regardless of their participation in our New UACCOnline programs.

Finally, we recognize that the New UACConline is just one avenue to explore the world of autograph collection. There are other highly valuable organizations, such as PADA and The Manuscript Society, among others, that can also aid you in your pursuit of collecting autographs. We wholeheartedly endorse and raise awareness for these exceptional clubs as well.
