As some of you know I banned myself of opening up any CAC threads for six months. The first night was tough as it was cold turkey .I had the sweats and dry heaves but my wife helped me make it through the night. I see several new threads popped up. I need to remain strong and sally forth

    Maybe Day 2 should take a broad turn towards solidarity... I am not going to start, add or open any CAC related threads either. Not sure I have more to write on the subject anyway. It is time to move on and away from a subject that has been litigated and relitigated to the point of where it just does not bring out the best or illustrate coin collecting at its finest...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Ouch, now I need to decide whether to create a new thread, wait for 6 months, or create one where you only know it's about CAC after opening it ;)

    Maybe the mods can automatically erase any thread title that contains those 3 consecutive letters, like it does with profanity.

    Not being able to open a Stewart Blay CAC thread is tantamount to waterboarding to me. I need a fix.

    Oh no, please don't! I was going to start two new discussions when I had some free time to image some of my coins:

    Where do you "cache" your coins?

    Post your coins with a "cactus" in the design.

    Still a fan of CAC but the threads have proven to thick for me to deal with.

    Need a little help please. I'm thinking of sending my first coin to CAC. It is in a PCGS 65 + holder and I'll settle for a CAC 65. Will the CAC sticker as a 65 make more sense than a 65+? What do you think?

    Take the bait, take the bait...

    I say CACa on the whole thing,

    I CACkle at the CAChet of those CACodyls with their CACophany of CAChexic slobber in every post.

    It seems everything is CAConym, truly a CACophonous din.

    Be it a poor persons CACographical failures, ITHO, it would truly embarrass a CAChinnation queen.

    I will not partake of such a CACcophonously strident tirade.
