MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 12:29 am Just received an application to become a collector submitter to CAC. On the application it says that I must be an ANA member in good standing. It was after hours so I couldn't get in touch with CAC to verify this before the weekend. Are any of you CAC collector submitters and can you confirm whether or not it's a requirement they enforce? I know they rarely update their website so I'm not sure if the application is outdated.

Everest Pillar of the Community Taiwan 606 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 05:31 am CAC is not accepting new Dealer or Collector memberships at this time. They are capping their memberships for at least the rest of this year according to their website. Edited by Everest 02/09/2019 05:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 08:24 am I think I read somewhere that there is a waiting list to become a member and that was awhile ago. I would imagine there always will be a waiting list based on the premiums green and especially gold beans are fetching.. Report this Post to the Staff

Sharkman Valued Member United States 456 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 11:42 am I printed off a CAC application several weeks ago. Joined ANA, didn't cost much and e-magazine is nice to get. CAC app asks for references(?!?) and I wasn't sure what to do, so I never sent it in. Due to physical limitations, I can't drive or get around much, so I don't belong to a local coin club, don't go to shows or have a close relationship with a local dealer, so I never sent the app in because I didn't know what to do. I'd like to join CAC if they reopen membership, but aside from explaining my situation don't know what to do about references. Anyone have any idea how critical this is? Report this Post to the Staff
MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 11:52 am On that part, I was going to put down my rep at Heritage, Ian from Great Collections and one of the reps from David Lawrence. I too don't have many contacts in the business so I guess the only I could put down are from the major auction houses that I buy from. Report this Post to the Staff
Sharkman Valued Member United States 456 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 12:16 pm Thanks, Mike. I buy from Heritage and D.L., too. That's an excellent idea. Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 12:23 pm You can put down a lot of things for references like other CAC members or dealers that your friends with from a forum or whatever. Report this Post to the Staff

sullysullinburg Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 1:17 pm I haven't even bothered to try and join. I would try to get a relationship with someone who already has a membership and ask to submit through them. Report this Post to the Staff

A lot of people do that, but many of us myself included prefer to do all of our submitting ourselves. Involving a 3rd party in the process increases the chances of something happening Report this Post to the Staff
MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 1:54 pm That's exactly why I wanted to do it solo. The 2 dealers out here complain so much it sounds like they could close their doors on any given day. And I can't use them for references because I never buy any of their overpriced junk. I end up feeling guilty every time I visit one of their stores and don't buy anything. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 1:58 pm Mike, I am a CAC member and the active ANA membership has been been required . Just sign up for the ANA membership and they will issue the ANA number you need. JA does this to support the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
