So, my TCA card came today, and it is printed wrong. The part that is signed on the back is upside down, so it will not be on the card when I cut it out. Should I just cut it out and sign in the blank area on the back, or should I contact someone? Who would I contact? Thanks

I suggest holding on to your card, and letting the TCA know about the problem.
Here is the contact address they give on their web site: tca-office@traincollectors.org
I have been a TCA member since 1976 and don't ever recall using my membership card! When I receive my card I just file it.

Cut the two parts out and glue them together. Then put it in the desk drawer. Remember your membership number, which is the only info you really need. When you visit the Museum, you need to either show the card, or tell them your number. Next year, you card will be printed correctly. (You might try selling it as a rare factory error...just kidding.)
List it on Ebay as a "rare misprint" you'll probably get enough for it too pay your dues for the rest of your life!!
I wouldn't worry about it. Mine never comes out of my wallet until I tear it up and stick in the new one.

Lucky you...lol
There is at least one show in the Phila area who provide a discount on admission if you are a TCA member and the local TCA chapters also give a discount on admission to their meets if you are a member. Additionally, the Toy Train museum gives free admission to TCA members. Other than that there is no reason to take it out of your card unless you forgot your membership number when you register for York.
