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.
UACC TIGHTENS UP CONDUCT
At the UACC Board Meeting in June the majority of the Board of Directors voted for this new policy: "The UACC will not tolerate untrue, unfounded, frivolous or public damaging comments by one of its members on an internet forum, website, or publication targeting a fellow member or the club itself. Such action could result in sanctions. Determination of violation as well as sanctions are reserved for the club's Board of Directors".
