Universal Autograph Collectors Club


Autograph collectors have a resource to use while finding their treasures. The Universal Autograph Collectors Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to the education of autograph collectors. Members are able to share their experiences in the organizations quarterly journal: The Pen and Quill. UACC also frequently becomes aware of autograph sales and announces them to their members. The website of the UACC offers a directory of dealers and appraisers and studies of signatures.

The organization was founded in 1965 by a group of collectors in Long Island. Today the UACC has grown into an international organization. Fellow collectors can utilize www.uacc.org to better their collecting experiences.
