In the mid '80's I belonged to a group like that
They really didn't do much. Ironically I was looking through some "The Trader Speaks" the other day & saw an ad from famed collector Barry Halper trying to head this type of organization. The ad was from the April 1977 edition

Wow, the ad is ironic. Nothing is new. It appears the value of the card market has grown exponentially since 1977, but no movement on creating a structure for the hobby. I realize we have hobby fragmentation. Unlike stamps or coins, card collecting exploded with private grading firms and for-profit shows, making it commercial-first rather than scholarship-first. PSA, Beckett, SGC, and auction houses fill some “society-like” roles—but their goal is profit, not preservation or education. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
