Welcome to the new website. An attempt has been made to modernize it and make it easier to use and maintain. Further enhancements will be added in the coming months. Let me know if you have thoughts or suggestions for improvements, new content etc.

Dues increase
The last time dues were raised was 14 years ago. Due to large increases in mailing, printing and website costs, the CWTS board has voted to increase dues to $30/year. Junior and associate members will be half of that, and new life members will pay 20 times the annual rate, or $600. We hope you understand and will continue to be members and support the CWTS.

U.S. Civil War Store Cards – 4th Edition
The U.S. Civil War Store Cards- 4th edition (SC4) committee is proud to announce that the 4th edition of this great work is available. The book committee consisted of Dave Schenkman, Tim Webb, Mark Gatcha, Larry Dziubek, Roger Lalich, Bill Luitje and myself. Steve Hayden helped with rarity changes and some technical points. Jen Meers did an excellent job on the layout and the book looks very professional. This book is the product of a lot of hard work and the gathering of information for the last ten years and I am very proud of it.
Building upon the 3rd edition, this new edition features nearly 900 changes since publication of the 3rd edition, including new merchants, new listings, new or improved photos of many tokens, rarity changes, and corrections. This is a must have for all Civil War token collectors.
The 4th edition is scheduled to be 676 pages and retails for $100 + $7 shipping. It is available to CWTS members at $85 + $7 shipping (yes, no price increase over SC3 that was published 10 years ago)! It is also available to dealers in cases of 6 books for $390 plus $30 shipping (again, no price increase).
