Post War baseball card forum (tab) on Net54 ?
Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>This was brought up in another thread, so like everything else, I would like some feedback....<br /><br />Would there be enough interest for another "tab" like the memorabilia one to have post war cards? Would it dilute this one in a negative way? What year would it go to, or would it go all the way to 2007? The memorabilia forum we started is nice and doesn't ever get into the disputes as this one does so another one that is easy to manage would be no big deal...again, only if there is interest and it didn't negatively affect this one. Personally, I have about as much interest in newer cards as I do memorabilia but I still participate a little bit over there......Just some thoughts....and your thoughts?? (don't worry folks...the world won't cave in no matter what we do)<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Leon, I think that would be a great idea...I also don't think it should be limited to a certain date that way we can all discuss the newest Derek Jeter/George Bush/Mickey Mantle card. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14> I don't buy cards by the pack anymore, but I do buy a Topps factory set every year and I am working on past Topps sets with my son so it would be nice to have a place to discuss those cards and sets with people I know. Thanks.

Posted By: <b>Alan Elefson</b><p>Leon-<br /> I think it is an excellent idea! When I first discovered this board a few years ago, I posted about an obscure 1960s set, not realizing the definition of vintage (pre WWII) that the board conformed to. However, I stuck around, as my passion is pre WWII stuff (although it is very difficult to find in the places I search: flea markets, antique shops, estate auctions, etc). Perhaps others will act similarly if there was another tab dealing with "newer vintage" cards. I could envision the size of this board (and thus the numbers of vintage collectors) swelling with "borderline" vintage collectors who might gravitate towards preWWII once they discover this part of the forum. <br /> I believe the "newer vintage" section should be pre 1980, but could understand the cutoff being 1975 or 1970, however I do not believe it should go into the 1980s. Just my opinion, but I too would love to hear what others think.<br />Alan Elefson

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>I think this is a good idea. The natural cutoff would be 1979, right before the time the competition between Topps, Donruss and Fleer ruined the modern baseball card market.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I agree that it would be a good idea but we need to set a cut off.<br /><br />1949 Bowman, 1952 Topps, 1953 Bowman color, and 1957 Topps, to name a few, are classic sets and discussion of them would enhance the board.<br /><br />But we do not want to get into discussing 2005 Topps refractors (I don't know if such a thing even exists).

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>I think it's a good idea. Collectors have to start somewhere. Most collectors start as kids. Not everyone starts off their collecting with a Gehrig or Wagner card. it would be a way for the younger people to get involved, and to be able to use it as a learning tool, in their hopefully pre war future. I say cut it off around 1976 or so. Or maybe 69. Whatever, but not much later than that. I know it is blasphemy to say this publically in here, but there are some raritys beyond 1945 that people do collect, and are intersted in.

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>great idea! i would imagine that the majority of the collectors who visit this site do collect at least some post war issues,with a bunch who can remember buying these as children. we've had some great threads on this board about 49 leaf,buying packs etc....the reason for the 1980 cutoff is the end of the topps monopoly. i think maybe 1969 is the best cutoff date.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Refraction is when a substance changes the speed and direction of light, such as light going through a prism or raindrops to create a rainbow. Refractor cards have a transparent film on them that refracts the light. If you look at a refractor card in person, it has a light rainbow-like appearance.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I don't think I ever saw a Topps refractor.<br /><br />The key to a good discussion is a set that has some odd variations, noted scarcities, and a few unsolved mysteries. At what point do those attributes begin to disappear? Past the late 60's I don't think there is all that much to discuss.

Posted By: <b>Misunderestimated (Brian H.)</b><p>I guess I would put the cut-off at either 1980 or 1988 but it really makes no difference.<br />One question for Leon -<br />Do you guys really want to monitor/moderate it?<br />I would think this forum (or sub-forum) would generate a great deal of carping about grading -- primarily PSA because they have graded the vast majority of these cards (and these cards are generally collected in slabs) and have a much greater market share for this period than they do for the pre-WWII cards. (As you gointo the 80's Beckett seems to become a pretty strong player too)

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Very interesting comments. One thing I thought about at very first is that we could potentially attract new folks into the pre-war hobby....and the more the merrier....I need to speak with my technical guy (Brian) but I think there might be a way to accomodate both areas, post war AND other sports....and if Brian and I go too crazy we can modify/cancel whatever we need to. The good thing about running this board is that we can turn on a dime when doing stuff......This would all be related to what many of our 1000-1100 members already collect. It would give them a fairly safe place to talk about stuff....and not be censored with a bias...again, contrary to what a handful believe. I will never be able to aptly defend a perception. I can only defend historical, factual, information.<br /><br />ps...I might be leaning to the cutoff of 1979...later than that and it gets a little ragged around the edges, imho<br /><br />regards

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>"Why limit it to just sports? Why not a site for rock music, politics and religion"<br /><br />Barry--are you trying to take away over half of the net 54 posts?<br /><br />Seriously, I think having a 1948-69 board would have a neutral to slightly negative effect here. Topics not particularly relevant to pre-war cards(like David's threads)<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> could move to that board.<br /><br />LTS which now gets almost as many hits as Net54 deals with 1948-69 probably more than any other era. Likely that some LTS members would post on a new board as well as some PSA posters.

Posted By: <b>John D</b><p>I think it would be a great idea. A lot of card collectors collect many different things- ex., I collect vintage (pre and post-war), modern rcs, non sports cards, memorabilia, etc. Assuming the forums don't turn into 'let me spam my auctions endlessly' or useless drivel, then I think it would be of great use.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>But a post war board would be separate, and have no real effect on the main one.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>i think it makes sense, but what if something bad happens on that board and it refracts itself to this one? i don't know what a refractor is either, but if they're anything like the name implies, i am not interested in being transported to a place where hamburgers eat people instead of the other way around. <br /><br />also, i thinklimiting it to 1979 would be good. this board is limited to ww2, but really, how many discussions have we seen on anything post-1920 compared to oj era and t206. in other words, keep it broad and let the most popular era shine.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>My techy guy is unavailable till after the National so after that, unless we hear of something that would be a show stopper, we will probably give this a go. My thought is that the new Post War cards section 1946-1979 will get enough responses that we will make it, it's own section (tab). I am going to work with Brian on trying to figure out a way to make the memorabilia section into 2 seperate sections under that one tab....and the other section will be for all other vintage sports cards ie... boxing, football, hockey etc.....The memorabilia section only gets about 1-5 new threads a day so that is my reasoning there.....We will always listen to feedback...and thanks so far for the suggestions....I/we are only trying to improve the site for our members....There will be another feature added later too but more to come on that.......regards

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>I'd be an active participant in a post-war forum, particulary up to about 1970 or so. In fact it's previously occured to me to ask about starting one, because I usually feel somewhat guilty about the few post-war cards I've posted here (and I must admit that the recent Musial thread excited me!) It wouldn't prevent me from any partipation here.<br /><br />I'll gladly help moderate. Who knows whether it will take off or not, as sometimes I wonder why I can't find something comparable to this one that suits me. Worth a shot, IMO.<br /><br />My personal preference for cutoff would be about 1970, although I'd go as late as 1979 to accomodate others. Anything after that is what turns me off about other like boards, too much to sift through -- it's a lot of build-up.<br /><br />*edit to add last paragraph

Separate tabs allow for keeping focus and on-topic. And it also allows us to 'willingly' as opposed to 'forcibly' take a look at other sports. <br /><br />I am not sure what the benefit of clumping sports into 'other' is?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Cards from the 60's have SP and DP high numbers, as well as other tougher to find cards; there are unusual print variations such as in 1962; there are rarities such as the 1967 Maris Yankees, and some very tough test issues, etc.<br /><br />Not saying they will be a source of great scholarship, but that is clearly a more interesting decade and there will be questions.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Guys,<br /><br />If we make the cut-off date 1973 or earlier, then we will only be talking about adding Bowman and Topps cards to what we already discuss. It's better to make the cut-off date later so that we can discuss Donruss, Fleer, and Score. Maybe 1988 or 1989 would be better dates.<br /><br />Peter C.
