CAC is a is a service that, for a fee, verifies the evaluations made by third party graders. They place a sticker in the top right of the holder...
It's funny, the downside of this annoying CAC trend is apparent in this sale. The implication of the holders with stickers is kind of meaningless....
I actually do participate in religious debate forums quite often. I guess I can't help but have some carry-over :oops: I'll let this one go ;)
