I was among the first five collector members. C-1004.
My GUESS is you were the fourth - the first was likely C-1001, not C-1000.
The “delay” on my end is I first had to get my ANA membership, a requirement for approval for CAC Collector Submitter status.

My friend Bill Wetzler is CAC # 1 Or 1001
He is apparently a lifelong friend of JA and a cac grader . Really good guy.
Will this member # method still be utilized when the grading entity becomes active?
I also don't want to be annoying concerning questions concerning membership, but it has now been 15 months since my original previous request here, .... and that request was "on hold" for the previous 6 months before that, due to CAC (temporarily) not accepting any more members for direct submittal privileges.
Not that it matters, but I do not desire, nor will I, submit via a dealer and/or piggybacking with a person that has direct submittal privileges.
Hopefully, the Decision Commission assigned with this Response Task can inform me and the many members here that have also been trying to be allowed privileges, of the Final Rule, shortly.

Does anyone remember when CAC had its stickering open house free of charge (up to 10 submitted slabbed coins) at the CT coin show back in 2008 or 2009?
The lines were long but coin collectors love freebies!
JA no longer grades outside of their location to maximize their viewing consistency.
Yes, at the Stamford show, which at the time, I unfortunately didn’t have anything with me to submit. That was actually a good venue too, but short lived.
Maybe that is where those Roosevelts got stickered?
I think CAC was still feeling their way as to what coins would be ones to accept or not accept.
I was not yet a CAC Collector’s member. No one was yet. I am having trouble remembering the exact month and year of that Stamford show. Hopefully Jon of Scarsdale Coins will remember as he was the organizer.
Edited to add: First appearance by CAC was November 8, 2008 at Coinfest and I think they did it again the following year in 2009, but maybe not in 2010 where the venue moved to a different location in Stamford.

C-1399 so perhaps they started at C-1000.

There is a decision Commission?
