Mark SteinbergWell, that's a great question...
I am still somewhat new to the Forum (going on 5 months), and can't even begin to express how much I appreciate this thing. So you would know far better than me, how people would react to a locked thread. I personally, don't see the harm...
If you locked the "misplaced" thread, and posted a friendly reminder to post in the correct venue, I think people would view it as helpful rather than annoying. I know it would not deter me from re-posting in the correct place.
There is slight potential overlap (for example, autographed cards), which would fit within either the "cards" or "memorabilia" sections. It would simply be your call, which threads to lock... most cases would be pretty obvious.
Just my opinions... perhaps others will chime in with a different viewpoint. I know you won't want to alienate your "customer base". Either way- thanks for your consideration!
