many of us - even non-CC>CC members - see a membership number and know members have agreed to willingly adhere to your club's excellent code of ethics. It is like a "Good Housekeeping seal of approval."

Knowing the club insists on honest dealing, I have been able to confidently send chips before members' checks have cleared (a courtesy I do not extend to others), and when I buy I know photographs in a listing will match the shipment.
