THE "MAX CERTIFIED DEALER PROGRAM"

    As the hobby of militaria continues to grow in popularity, unfortunately, so have reproduction items being sold as original. Since its inception, the MAX Show has required reproductions to be labeled as such, but, despite this rule, there have been infractions. Misrepresentation of this sort is the number one enemy of the militaria hobby. Tragic realization with resultant financial loss can be very discouraging. In recent years, many potential collectors found they had unwittingly purchased an item that had been altered or was newly made. Once having fallen into this trap, some never returned and without new blood coming up, there will be no buyers for the collections many of us have worked our entire lives to accumulate.
    A few years ago, MAX decided it was high time for our hobby to cleanse itself, and decided to do something positive to deal with the problem. By incorporating a new rule, known as "RULE 11," into the MAX Show rules, each dealer agrees to guarantee the authenticity of any item sold at his or her tables, for at least the duration of the Show.
    Collectors should make sufficient time to "inspect" and "authenticate" their purchase prior to leaving the Show. If the item is found to be not authentic, the dealer will be expected to either refund the purchaser's purchase price, or work out some other mutually agreed upon resolution. Should disputes arise or should the dealer not have the funds on hand, he will have 90 days to satisfactorily clear up the matter. Unresolved complaints will absolutely result in the offending dealer being denied tables at future MAX Shows. We do not feel this is much to ask at our Show. It is the only way to encourage the entrance of new collectors, and assure the future of our hobby.
    In addition to the new "SHOW REFUND RULE 11", MAX instituted a long overdue first. We established a "MAX CERTIFIED DEALER" program. The program follows simple guidelines, similar to the thousands of neighborhood Better Business Bureaus designed to promote consumer confidence throughout the United States. Dealers, who are accepted to become a MAX CERTIFIED DEALER, are issued a distinctive plaque to display on their table at all shows. Display of the plaque will tell potential customers you are a professional who guarantees the authenticity of your merchandise-not just at the MAX Show, but at every show. A MAX CERTIFIED DEALER is an honest businessman who can be trusted. He is a person who conducts business with fairness, integrity and honor. We have established a Board of Experts who will meet and "vet" a questionable artifact or attempt to mediate a problem, should there be a disagreement. The Board will make recommendations to resolve the situation. A file of unresolved complaints against dealers has been maintained by MAX, and is available by written request for the use by the collecting public.
    Our Board of Experts is a mixture of respected dealers and knowledgeable collectors in our hobby. A list of the MAX Board of Experts may be obtained from the MAX Promotions Headquarters office. A dealer wishing to join the MAX CERTIFIED DEALER program may apply at this year's MAX Show. Upon acceptance, plaques will be issued at the Show. The fee to join the program is $25.00 per year or you can purchase a Lifetime Membership for $100. The MAX Show promoters are eligible to join the MAX CERTIFIED Dealer program, but cannot serve as a member of the Board of Experts.
     It is hoped that these positive steps will produce a continued bright future for militaria collecting. Any questions should be directed to the undersigned.

Very truly yours,
LTC (Ret.) Thomas M. Johnson, President
Thomas T. Wittmann, Secretary/Treasurer
