Sellers beware! Especially in TX, OK and Louisiana. There's a flyer the Usps is delivering to you address from an Auction Company called Antique Pickers Back Road Tour . A full color 12 page ad that they are exclusively sponsored by National Coin Collectors Association whom closed their doors in 1992! I know I have posted this before but can't seem to find it. However another excited neighbor just dropped by with the flyer in hand and I felt obligated to tell this tale again. I took approx. 5 minutes to knock these guys off. Goog. the Tour name and the comments below:. They reside in a UPS store in Houston and take voicemails on a cellular phone. I contacted ANA as this group tried to take ANA down in '92 for owning ANACS. Here is our chat..... Has this group been resurrected? NCCA I know whom was one of your nemeses in 1990-1992. I am concerned because a buying extravaganza is coming to our little town Calling themselves Antique Pickers Back Roads Tour expressly sponsored by the Nation Coin Collectors Association. What is your take? I have collected Anacs and refer to ANA for factual information for decades now. Plz Advise Thanks for messaging us. We try to be as responsive as possible. We'll get back to you soon. Hi This is the first time I've heard of Antique Pickers Back Roads Tour so I decided to do a little bit of research. It looks like there are some mixed reactions to their services. They claim to buy in cash and will buy coins, but I can't be certain that they'll value the coins correctly. The most I can say is, use your best judgement. I suppose if you have questions for them before they come, you can reach out and contact them for answers. This is their website: http://www.antiquepickers.network/antique-pickers-back-roads-tour-newspaper.php#main I've also found a couple reviews. I attached a photo of the Google reviews that they had and a link to the Yelp reviews they had: https://www.yelp.com/topic/cypress-antique-pickers-back-road-tour-is-a-scam I don't think it could hurt to go and check it out, but again, use your best judgement. Don't sell with someone you don't trust. If anything, you can go to see what it is, but continue to rely on coin grading services that you know and trust. here is 1 page of the flyer: Antique Pickers Estate Sales Cypress TX Antique Pickers Estate Sales in Cypress, TX is a professional estate sale service provider that purchases antiques and collectibles for cash.

P. T. Barnum is alleged to have said, "there's a sucker born every minute". How are you going to protect people from themselves?
