cac doesn't sticker my types
Frankly No use for them (sticker svc) nor care give them a dime of my money.
At shows if offered CACG material might acquire some but my best offer10pct behind CDN bid. They will need to find their moon money somewhere else.
The third option is impossible. You can't both have a membership and not have a membership at the same time.
But you could have done #2, then signed up for #1.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go elsewhere.
Do you bother to look at the coin first before making an offer?
They don't have coins at the circus.

Stickers have less meaning to me now, the legacy stickers guaranteed a CACG slab grade so they had a real function. Yeah, I know they indicate agreement but if you need someone else's validation to enjoy your coin just give it to the bellringer at Christmas to look at .
Just dropped off my first sub for CAC stickering at CSNS. We'll see how it goes.

You forgot this option: I have removed CAC stickers from my PCGS slabs.
I was just approved for membership last month, and last week I sent my first submission—a small group of four coins.
Over time I probably won’t be sending a large number of coins, but it’s nice to have the option.
I just got my membership and expect to move the first response soon.
That is exactly what I did. Poorly worded survey choices but I think we get the idea.

"I do not have" and "I personally have" are present tense.
It’s nothing personal it’s just business. A lot of us prefer to pick out our own nice coins. My knowing how to grade and look at coins is another factor. I do have some CACG material. However if the deal is not there for me doesn’t matter anyway.
I do like it that the CDN has added another pricing structure for that (CAC, CACG) inventory class. Now that they a TPG, many feel they should discontinue the sticker operation IMO. What’s becoming more evident is beyond being a boutique everybody knows they will never match the output of our hosts or NGC. Perhaps they should have a conservation mill submitters could run coins thru first get rid of tarnish. I saw one guys CAC coins almost all ugly tarnished garbage / somebody’s supposed to pay more for that lol? Wondered what they looked like when got sticker. Get outta here.
Never submitted any coin to anywhere for any reason. I’ve got a few raw coins that will likely be submitted one day, but so far everything is as-bought.
I do have a few CAC stickered coins and lots of slabs. I just bought them that way.
Wish I had a membership, have used third parties perhaps 40 coins
none here submitted. i prefer to spend the money on the coin, jmo
Due to the fact coins can tarnish / go bad in the holder over time due to exposure to the atmosphere, heat, humidity or biological attack the sticker is simply a point in time not some absolute.
While I prefer PCGS, I trust NGC, ANACS and on occasion ICG to grade coins accurately and have no need of another fee based opinion, no matter whose it is. Have nothing against CAC nor anyone's use of them, that's their right to do so. I also will not pay a premium just for CAC's sticker. I have owned a few CAC stickered coins that resold quickly, but only as I was able to purchase them at a fair price for the coin I was interested in. JMO

Me too; I am not criticizing CAC, just commenting on the strict 10% back of bid offer limit, regardless of the quality of the coin itself.
Sounds like a good way to ensure you always buy "C" coins.
No nothing personal just not in it to be the end user.
Then have to consider if what I have in it within plan. I am sure there are people who bid way over retail to get them. Would hate to be buried deep in one like a lot of them.
I think many of them based on their BS here already lost money or really buried in that material. That’s when they start quote people, call them names, push some form of their BS; like a losing team in denial.
You dont have to be the end user to learn how to price the COIN.

I find the legacy stickers useful when I'm bidding in auctions where I can't look at the coin, just an added sense of security that somebody else agreed with the grade. And I can cross if I had some reason to do so, knowing the grade. The newer stickers still give that second look but don't really guarantee anything upon a crossover to CACG. Now a gold sticker is a different issue for me, me like those.
I will get around to CACG submissions, just way too busy with NGC Ancients right now.

Very happy with my choice to be a long-term CAC stickering submitter and the 5 plus figures in equity it has brought my personal collection.

There are MANY coins in my collection that I think would sticker.
It just seems like more trouble than it's worth to me, at this point in time.

I think you're just in denial. You're probably buried deep in your coins. Best to put them on the bay and let them rip.

The coins I buy, if I made an offer as 'high' as 10% back bid, I'd be the laughing stock of the world. Mostly, I am lucky to pay 10% back of retail and up from there................

While I have never personally submitted coins to CAC, 90+% of my purchases are PCGS CAC coins.
Joe.
In 2010-2011 I sent all of my PCGS graded coins, perhaps 80 or more at the time, to CAC for review.
Since then I have submitted infrequently as I typically only purchase coins that already have CAC approval.

I have my membership, but have never submitted a coin. I’m considering sending in some coins I’ve had for many years (from before CAC existed) as well as some coins I’ve submitted myself to PCGS over the years that have never been to CAC. But I’m lazy and don’t know if I’ll get around to submitting them before CAC stops stickering.
I also hate shipping valuable coins, I’ve always hand delivered the coins I submit to PCGS at shows like Long Beach just to avoid having to pack and ship them. Does CAC ever set up booths at shows where you can hand deliver them? I’ve never seen them, but wasn’t really looking for them in the past.

Yup
I have submitted out of curiosity, and to increase liquidity and presumably value when the time comes to sell. I only submit coins above a certain value, so the cost isn’t significant, should my assumptions about the future prove false.
For sure look at material very carefully lol. A lot of time it’s low end trash which I reject. Others gone bad in holder - auto reject. Not their dumping ground nor bank for their mistakes.
Beyond that they can shop it around the bourse / Numismatic Investment is risky, inventory hold time varies. Offers based on current market conditions, inventory needs YMMV.
Lately my assistant, she’s real sharp (Trained her - she’s caught on quickly how to grade, price, and look at coins) will look them over, make recommendations (yay or nay) hand them to me to finalize, execute the play. Works like a charm.
