Founded in 1997, by Mike Frost and Stephen Koschal, the IADA-CA is the most unique, and progressive, autograph & memorabilia organization in existence today. A corporation, it is the first organization of its kind which includes separate categories for collectors, and dealers. We feel this marriage is a vital one; as it assures that collectors, and dealers, can join forces in ways previously impossible. Additionally, we submit each dealers' application to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, ensuring each dealer is accountable. We are the largest group dedicated to autograph collecting. By keeping this as our focus, we can concentrate our efforts on these fields. In our dedication to educate, and inform, we feel that the measures that we have taking will revolutionize the collecting world.

Our website IADA-CC.COM is our base headquarters. Members and non-members alike are invited to visit us and leave feedback. We have on hand one of the largest, and most comprehensive, collections of authentic "standards" for perusal by members. You may also interact, with board members via email. This is your assurance of the personal attention that you deserve as a member of the collectibles community.

Our member dealers did not simply join an organization. Each of them were asked to provide a sponsor, as well as two recognized dealers as references. This information was thoroughly examined by our membership committee. We felt that this was an important measure, as it assures that these dealers did not simply "pay to play", and rightly so. These dealers have earned every credential that we have bestowed upon them. We wish to offer to our club members only the finest material, from the most respected dealers.

We are the " Eyes, Ears, and Voice of the Hobby ". We have been called, by many, " the best in the business " due to the inclusion of informative articles, biographies of member dealers, and our landmark signature studies. All news is timely, and fresh, as well as educational. The low cost of your membership includes these on line features as well as, emails which are sent to all members with the hottest news. The web site also features dealers and gives the customer a directory of dealers that are in good standing with the club. IADA-CC.COM offers an easy one click away to your favorite autograph site.

We also publish the IADA-CC DEALER DIRECTORY, which is recognized worldwide. This publication is updated annually so as to include new dealer members. Our directory is your assurance that these dealers have been rigorously examined for their ethical professionalism, and knowledge. In fact, our code of ethics, for these dealers, is the most stringent in the field, and our directory shows that each dealer has agreed to abide by our guidelines.

We are the only organization which has received endorsement by Autograph Collector and Autograph Times, the two largest publications in the hobby. However, the endorsement most important to us is yours, the individual collector, or autograph professional. By joining our club, you give us your trust that we are steering the autograph world in the right direction. We look forward to gaining your approval, and hope that we can serve you as well as we have served thousands of others in our hobby.
