Message:: [QUOTE="RiverGuy, post: 994570, member: 22755"]I started a thread 6 months ago when I first "joined" CAC.  Since that time I have a lot more experience with CAC.  As a collector/submitter I have sent them several assortments.  I am only charged $10 per sticker - coins not measuring up are returned no charge except postage. The more CAC'd coins I get the more I understand their standards. They have been very strict but also fair and consistant.  Coins that qualify are truly standouts. My Lincoln wheat collection now contains 57 stickerred slabs.  On average I have found my percentage stickerred has increased dramatically.  My initial submission returned 9 of 37; my last returned 18 of 27.As to value, CAC'd coins consistantly return 20% to 30% more when sold by Heritage and Teletrade.  I often take stickerred slabs to coin shows for trading purposes and the demand for them is dramaticly greater than non-stickerred.I say all this NOT to start an argument but to bring emperical, varified personal experience to this forum. I find that - for me - value both financial and aesthetic far outweighs the cost.[/QUOTE]
