I am scrambling to find a way to re-new

Greetings folks!!

I have been faithfully checking in, but have not left a post here for a little while. I thought tonight would be a good time to do that as I have much to say about the paid NGC membership.

I'll never forget this time last year as I found my collecting passion of American Silver Eagle coins. I remember the inspiration I found as I watched a documentary about the US Mint, and West Point. I felt strongly I needed to obtain these coins. And then there was the coin shows on TV selling NGC graded coins...and I knew I just HAD to learn more about NGC as it seemed like the ONLY way to collect coins.

I did a serch online and found myself here in September 07 and became a paid member in October 07. I have been inspired by this site and have been proud to have a place to show off my set in the registry. I have been also very proud to contribute to the journals here and cannot even put into words the excitement of winning a journal award last year.

I have also expanded my collection here with 2 comic books in the CGC registry and am often inspired by the CGC journals, too.

NGC is a great service to us as collectors, and I could not be more proud to belong to this service and I am glad to have been able to contribute here and hope I have inspired as much as I have been inspired by NGC and this great group of people here.

I have been hit a little by the economy as many of you have, and I will find a way to get another paid membership with NGC and finally send in my coins for grading that I have acquired in the past year. I would also encourage those of you who do not have a paid membership to obtain one, too. You'll find it to be a great deal and the feeling of belonging to NGC to be very rewarding... almost as rewarding as acquiring that one coin you have been salivating over. I say ALMOST

Anyway, have a great weekend, and all the best to my fellow journalists here!!
