The IADA-CC Ethics Committee has been dismantled due to lack of complaints. "This is a true success story second to noe" said Steve Koschal, co-founder of the IADA-CC. "In five years we have had only four complaints. Two of which were against people selling autographs in another club" said Koschal.

Mike Frost co-founder of the IADA-CC said "when you have a weakness, ethics committees should be the most important part of an organization. It was the only place a collector had to go to try and get help from an organization in which they were paying dues." "Wrongfully, it seems that everyone is so concerned about whether the autograph purchased is genuine, yet they pay little or no attention to the party from whom they are purchasing," said Koschal. For five years the IADA-CC published an Ethic's Committee Report in each and every issue of our club journal. More importantly in almost every issue, our Ethic's Chariman requested other organizations to do the same. This fell on deaf ears.

We had found the answer to the age old problem years ago, screen the dealers you allow to be members of the club. Admit only the finest in the world and the problem took care of itself. To date, we still have no complaints. However, to keep in touch with reality in the autograph marketplace, the IADA-CC opened the International Autograph Sellers Information Services, P.O. Box 848486, Hollywood, Fl 33084 USA. It is requested that anyone who files a complaint against anyone in this industry send a copy of their complaint to the I.A.S.I.S.

The IADA-CC will now maintan an "Office of Ethics." Any member of the IADA-CC who has a complaint against any of our members hsould send the complaint to:

Mr. William C. Decker
