I was already a member for five years. In that time there was a single article in the newsletter that interested me -- one on Montgomery Ward checks -- but I knew more than the author did on the subject.
I also attended an ASCC meeting at Memphis. The others only wanted to talk about revenue imprints something that I have no interest in.
I ran an ad in the newsletter for government checks. I received one response from someone I already knew.

I was a member of the ASCC for many years, but that was almost 20 years ago (I was the director for Canada). I used to hold round table meetings at local shows too. I contacted the ASCC again just a couple years ago and the person said the club was almost dead, but I still joined. I didn't receive anything. My interest is in Atlantic Canadian cheques and I don't recall ever seeing anything in the years I was a member, but I was a member because I believe in supporting organizations promoting the hobby (I'm active in many other clubs). Is there activity again? Are they issuing a regular journal/newsletter?

What's happened to the ASCC is exactly what is happening to stamp organizations across the country -- they are dying from the attrition of members. It makes sense if they are so closely allied with stamp collecting. Which is why check collecting would be bolstered by members who come at it from a different hobby field ... and a sub-forum here would help do that.
And, full disclosure, I am a stamp collector, though not so active these days.

I'm not a stocks/bonds collector, EXCEPT when I see one with some vintage machinery on it. I'm an old softie for those old machines. =====   |

A good illustration of why stocks and bonds would be of interest to this forum. Nice vignette, Les.

I think that cheque collecting needs a lot of promotion-if it is as dead as I am hearing.

 =====  ===== Background In 1874, Leland Stanford set out to promote the idea of a cable car for California Street, the principal ascent of Nob Hill from the east, with a more reasonable grade than Clay Street. In 1876, in collaboration with several associates in the Central Pacific Railroad, he secured the franchise, and construction was begun on July 5, 1877. The line ran between Kearney Street at the foot of Nob Hill to Fillmore Street in the Western Addition, a distance of about 1.7 miles, and a power house, designed by W.W. Hanscom, was put in at Larkin Street. Initially, the line operated with 25 grip cars and trailers built by the Kimball Manufacturing Company and the Central Pacific shops. Edited by techwriter

Not checks, or stocks, or bonds but what examples of American manufacturing and industry. =====   ===============   |

I didn't really intend this to become a topic unto itself, just a poll to gauge interest. I'm not sure there's a consensus, but it does seem like there's a majority opinion that a sub-forum would be worthwhile. Let's see if any administrators agree...

This is on probation. It will be reevaluated in a few months, if the activity doesn't warrant it, we will go back the way it was. It wasn't a very good start when I only found 8 topics to move there.
If anyone finds any more please use the Report this Post to the Staff link to let us know,

Hurray! I'm happy to see the new sub-forum and I'll do my best to post some topics of interest. I suspect there were few posts to move over because there was no home for them to begin with. Also, there's been a GREAT deal of interest in one particular check thread: http://goccf.com/t/178681Edited by GregAlex
