He is a member of the Hall of Fame of the Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS). Crosby was a pioneer in thermographed cachets. According to USCS.ORG website:

"Walter G. Crosby, USCS 69 (1996). Crosby made significant contributions as an early maker of attractive cachets for naval, first day and patriotic covers. Crosby was imaginative and prolific, a pioneer in thermographed cachets. There can be no question that his handsome, well designed cachets brought hundreds of members into our hobby. Today, despite the number of Crosby cacheted covers on the market, they command a premium which attests to their lasting popularity in all segments of cover collecting. "
