Some Qs and As about the Commemorative Cord project by the ACD Club:

Q. There have been attempts to make Cord models before, mostly of mediocre quality. Is this one better?

A. We chose a renowned American sculptor with a proven track record. The handcrafted models will be of a quality matching the original. We have early photos and a Board member?s observation of the early work and know that the quality will be superb.

Q: Couldn't these madels have been made more cheaply in Asia?

A. The Board of the ACD Club deliberately chose an American sculptor, because in addition to the obvious it gives us control over quality that would be impossible from Asia. Current prices of the original bronze model are in the thousands of dollars. We believe this exact replica is priced fairly.

Q. Wouldn't a larger order have brought the price down?

A. The number to produce was based, after careful consideration by your Board, on the original order (for nostalgia) and a best guess as to how many we can sell. "Economies of scale" would apply only if we were to place a huge order, invest a very large sum of money, and store those that don't sell until such time that they do. No organization like ours can or would do that.

Q. If there is a surplus, what will it be used for?

A. The Club invested in this project for several reasons, one of which is as a fundraiser for the Club. We will select a major future Club initiative that will be the beneficiary of this project.

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. And please don't delay your order; as of this writing one-third of the project has been sold.
