CSA Rapid Scan
ID Program Introduced.
The
Confederate Stamp Alliance Authentication Committee has instituted a
simplified program whereby a scan of your Confederate stamp or cover
can be submitted for a rapid identification analysis. This is an
opportunity to have your questions quickly answered about the proper
identification of your CSA philatelic item without having to go
through the sometimes lengthy formal certification process. The cost
is also substantially less. Click here

CSA Authentication Service
Waives Fees for Donations
The CSA Authentication
Service maintains a reference collection of fake material, as well as
genuine, which purpose is two fold: 1) it gets the dangerous material
off the market and 2) it aids our experts in their future
determinations.
A donation to the Authentication
Service Reference Collection can also be of benefit to you in that the
Confederate Stamp Alliance is an IRS recognized non-profit organization
with status # 501(c)(3) and any donation thereto constitutes a tax
deduction. As of April 10, 2005, any item submitted for authentication
which is subsequently immediately donated to the Service, will have
the authentication fee waived.
If you wish to donate material to
the Service, contact Recording Secretary Trish Kaufmann, 10194 N. Old
State Road, Lincoln, DE 19960 or e-mail her at trishkauf@comcast.net The
Service seeks genuine, as well as fraudulent, material - particularly
scarce postmarks, unusual shades or anything which may be used for
comparison to submitted patients. This CSAAC Reference Collection is a
good home for a faulty but scarce stamp variety or cover. More details
on the Service and/or authentication applications are available by
