<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1978515, member: 28971&quot;]I let my ANA membership lapse, due to this organization offering nothing more (IMO) than it&#039;s magazine, and access to it&#039;s &#039;library&#039;.&nbsp; I see it as being an actionless, ineffective, organization, that does very little, if anything, for it&#039;s membership, nothing more.&nbsp; If there are some that think it is more worthwhile than that, I certainly apologize...not trying to belittle what others may think is useful, or consider it as an outstanding organization, but that&#039;s my take on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for them taking any action on those who paid actors to be bussed in?&nbsp; If they WERE, I&#039;d bet money we would have heard SOMETHING about it by now.&nbsp; Those dealers (still can&#039;t get over one is on the PCGS board), if similar nonsense had happened in other organizations, would have had action taken against them by now.&nbsp; Personally, the organization is so lame, I&#039;d imagine the less that is brought up, the better off they are.&nbsp; They were already considered a less-than-effective organization prior to the Chicago nightmare, and left a bad taste with a number of members, on other coin forums, who have since become former ANA members.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Question for members active with them for a number of years....when exactly did the ANA become the organization it is today (I should ask, when was the ANA actually a useful organization, an organization that it was beneficial to be a member of)??&nbsp; I&#039;ve only been collecting, with purpose, using learned knowledge to become a better collector, for perhaps 8 years, and was a member of the ANA from day 1, but as I said prior, let it lapse just about 2 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
