<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 6431804, member: 5372&quot;]So, I have read this with interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am wondering if this is the proverbial multiplying of the loaves.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the Greenwich CT. Show, free submissions were offered, and the response was enthusiastic, by collectors and dealers. I was there.</p><p><br /></p><p>At a few shows the next year, there was always the bourse buzz if there was going to be any free beans offered at the show. </p><p><br /></p><p>It also came up at the Balt. Show. I was negotiating an 1836 Reeded Edge at the RCNH table ....yes ended up with it, and the most stunning original 1876 TD&nbsp; I ever saw....it CAC&#039;d when I submitted 2 years later. I sold the RE to Mark and 1 year later sold him the TD, and bought a n incredible RE with the proceeds. While we were kibitzing at the RCNH table, Legend table was across the aisle , and Ms. Sperber was there, and it was a repetitive running joke of collectors/dealers asking for some free stickers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Move ahead about 4 years. I happened to be at the Chicago Show. Everybody knew James DeGeorgia was an enthusiastic supporter of CAC coins and would go around the bourse, looking for&nbsp; them and he sort of had a cheat sheet going in his head, in that how many graded coins of a certain type were available and of those how many had a CAC sticker. </p><p><br /></p><p>I remember somebody asking how it was going and the reply was that it was like somebody showed up giving away stickers. There was a group of people standing around. Somebody asked if there were free sticker submissions at the show, and, one of the dealers said he thought so. (btw, I looked all over the bourse to see if there was a hidden booth set up for free CAC submissions....there wasn&#039;t).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think&nbsp; this&nbsp; is the type of thing that may lead to misunderstanding and as somebody mentioned, rumors.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I do know, is in the many shows I have attended, I&nbsp; have never heard anybody say that CAC was giving out rolls of stickers free or otherwise. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anything is possible, though.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Were there really 3 kings going to Bethlehem or 4?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
