“Chinese  38  are everywhere,”he says,“You can’t avoid those,no matter how hard you

try It is impossible.”

That is the  39 ,which I have been considering for months,since I have kept the American car with the Chinese  40 in it.This week I was   41  again of the difficulty of avoiding China when I bought earrings from a local artist.I was feeling pleased with myself  42  I got home and noticed the flee gift box made in China.

My boss continues,“You know what you are doing? You are   43  your dependence on China,not   44   it,”he says,“You are just cheating yourself.”

The Universal Autograph (名人签名) Collectors Club(UACC) has been serving the collector for over 25 years. Founded in 1965, the UACC began as a small group of Long Island. New York autograph collectors and has grown to be the largest collector’s organization of its kind.

The UACC by its purpose is primarily an educational fellowship(联谊会) where knowledge and resources are shared with not only the membership, but also the public at large. By joining the UACC, you will be introduced to the fastest growing hobby in the world today.

Autographs have been called “frozen moment in time” by some people. Probably the most personal thing that one person can give is his or her signature.

In 1843, former President James Madison sent an autograph for a collection which the Princess Victoria was making. The future British Queen was only 15 years old at the time. Financier J.P. Morgan, Sr. began collecting when he was 16, and his son continued adding to the father’s collection. As the daughter of the Mayor of Boston, Rose Fitzgerald collected autographs, as did her son, John F. Kennedy. Franklin Roosevelt, Malcolm Forbes and Glenn Ford are a few more well-known autograph collectors. By collecting autographs, you become a curator(馆长) of history.

Here are some of the best reasons to join the UACC.

The UACC publishes The Pen and Quill, the highly regarded 64-page bimonthly journal with articles and news in all fields of autograph collecting. UACC members may place free ads in The Pen and Quill to express their wants or just swap with other members.

Writing for autographs to famous living people can also be interesting. The more interesting the letter, the better chance for an interesting reply.

The UACC also offers its members the opportunity to buy uncommon autographic materials at low prices. Meanwhile, it publishes low-cost reference works for its members.

Once you join the UACC, you will be added to our mailing list and will receive catalogs(目录) of autographs for sale by dealer members. The UACC has nearly 200 of the world’s most professional dealers as members. Each member provides contact information on our website, including mailing address, telephone numbers, e-mail-addresses, website address, etc. We always try to promote our dealer program and encourage collectors to always buy from these dealers.
