Sorry, It's very good practice to correct an improper ad. It doesn't matter if the info is intentionally misleading or the result of incompetence. Newbies like me need the help of well informed members to save us dollars and grief. Bill -- Original message --

I stand corrected. I think that all non members must have a very good individual reason for not joining or supporting the IMCA. I am sure this would be fascinating to learn about. Maybe all NEW collectors before buying could ask 1. are you an IMCA member, and 2. if not a member why not?
