<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RiverGuy, post: 1305105, member: 22755&quot;]Jeez....I&#039;ve been gone two weeks and on returning this thread really caught my attention. Yeah, it took a while to read - DreCollector is long winded - however, I couldn&#039;t agree more with him or her as well as reliable old Leadfoot. I have been a collector submitter since 2008 and I&#039;m absolutely in favor of John Albanese&#039; policies and practices. Yes, it was an eyeopening application for membership - references??? Yep, that surprised me; ANA membership? The more I thought about the process the more I saw his reasoning. CAC wanted serious collectors and this was a way to reach them. Bear in mind there was no requirement for size or worth of collection. Yes, they only consider selected coin series but you know that going in - if you don&#039;t collect those, don&#039;t apply. Originally I submitted a couple hundred coins but now send maybe 5 to 6 a month. I was a decent coin grader before joining but my skills have increased since I began to learn their standards. You all should realize that their operation is very &quot;no frills&quot;. For example, my coins are always sent back to me in the box I sent them in. The turnaround time puts the TPGs to shame! Last Christmas they sent all of us a beautiful autographed hardbound book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simply put, John Albanese knows how to take care of his customers. Fair prices, rapid turnaround and respect will endear customer loyalty like no other attributes. And like Leadfoot points out, that little green sticker more than pays for itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last point, MercCrazy, PM me. I would be happy to send your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
