yeah sorry...my mistake. uacc is the uacc...lots of people are
members..but why be a member if you're not going to uphold the uacc guidelines or regualtions. by the way, i would LOVE to be totally wrong about this guy...but the simple fact of the matter is, is that i am not...i would totally love to rally around the people doing it right...but instead of addressing the accusations, he chooses to try and discredit me...and i'm all for that...but when the truth comes out and other people see it like i see it...he's going to have a hard time discrediting EVERYONE! m |

Thanks for checking that. I thought that it didn't read right
either when I read the previous message. I thought Strickler said that he was a member only. That is a very common misconception about a member and a registered dealer. -- Mike Gummby3 -= Star Collector =- www.star-collector.net Celebrity addresses the way they should be - free.

Is it Star Wars is "special" to her or she's "embarrassed" by it? I
noticed how quickly she did "other types" of films and how she doesn't even talk about it on shows (they never bring that up and like some actors, that would be a standard thing to mention). I just saw her in Mr. Magorium's Magic Emporium and my husband hates her (he can't stand her and Nicole Kidman for some reason). I personally don't care for her much either and only like her for my collection and that's all... she won't even consider a signing.

I am guessing that's a good question to discuss... why be a member of
the UACC if you are not going to abide by their code/mantra or whatever. I would assume that when you join, you take an oath of sorts (at least agree somewhere to follow); however it's up to the organization to make sure their members are kosher. Applicants should go through a screening process and then after, they should occasionally police their members. Otherwise, what are you paying for other than the privledge of having a name attached to legally sell forgeries etc? I am sure a lot of forgers squeaked by or at least try to. It's obvious the entity probably started somewhere with two people starting a group (like any two of us) and had ideas. Just like the owners of this newsgroup... where are they? What's the history? I haven't looked but hopefully they have an archive somewhere; a file cabinet with all their stuff. One day who knows, could grow to be like Masons, Elks, or any other type organization where history will be important (for staying power, longevity and documentation will be needed). But they aren't big enough (probably just a few guys running it? Maybe even one or two?) to police everything. You do need to do what my hubby had to do for his job... it's called QAE or Quality Assurance Evaluations. You spot check say quarterly x amount of people to spot check and then give them warnings etc as needed.

IS there a designation fo dealer compared to member? In another
words, is there a letter or different sort of number or something that we can know who is a dealer versus just a member? On Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:59:32 -0500, "Gummby3" wrote: Thanks for checking that.

There are less than 300 UACC Registered Dealers in the world and these
companies are held to the highest standards, ESPECIALLY when it comes to authenticity. Each organization had to have been a member of the UACC iteself for years and then have references to be even considered. Each member gets their own unique RD #, and a link on the UACC Registered Dealers page. It's widely recognized as the most trusted group of dealers in the world. It's far from just a 'pay for membership' organization like all the rest. -- Michael Kasmar www.AutographPros.com UACC Registered Dealer #237 Accredited Better Business Member with a lifetime flawless record "Have you joined our emailer yet?

i was gonna say....it's my understanding that to be a UACC registered
dealer is DIFFICULT...they are highly motivated on their dealers and spend time looking up a lot of evaluations on the dealers that even try to become registered. meanwhile, the regular members aren't supposed to be dealers i think they are supposed to just be members and get all the info on dealers and other members as need be. there is definately a distinction as you can say you are a member, but as a registered dealer you have an id # and your business is made public within the business.. but if you claim to be a registered dealer and are only a member, you can get the boot. i imagine this is all kind of common sense.. i don't know though. if anyone wants to start a conv. about the UACC, let's start a new thread. sue, did you pull strickler off your sites? m |

So a RD is the dealer designation and any other numbers reported
would not be valid? So, I imagine then the UACC would allow anyone, member or not to confirm a dealer ID and a RD number match with what's in their database? I have heard that some people claim to be dealers and members of UACC but aren't... Actually, i have emailed them only a couple times ever and found them to be the most helpful people ever. SO I am assuming that since I am not a member, they still offer some assistance. As for pulling them, not yet. I am soooo far behind on everything. I was trying to catch up on emails too and have been unable to even do that today as I get them as fast as I delete them. Granted, a lot are spam and freecycle and group messages, but I managed to get down to like 20 messages and a couple I don't want to deal with right now.... so this week I'll TRY to catch up. But I am out most of the day tomorrow and Thursday I'll be gone half the day for dinner and a concert (America/Christopher Cross). I didn't even send out my Easter cards and feel guilty. Oh well, I am trying! But I'll be checking all the dealer links on my site... and some may disappear. We shall see.

If I understand it correctly, if you are a member, it's basically
like joining a Yahoo message group. You get to see/read what's going on within the group, etc. A registered dealer pays for the privilege of that status. To use the club's name/unique serial number, they are bound by some sort of "contract" that they will follow the guidelines established by the club and are held to a higher level. In a way, it does sound like the Masons. If I am mistaken, someone please clarify. -- Mike Gummby3 -= Star Collector =- www.star-collector.net Celebrity addresses the way they should be - free.
