Glen V1) I agree that people don't need to read the posts they aren't interested in, but if there are too many of those, the good posts get buried. The board becomes a BS session about baseball rather than vintage cards, and those interested in vintage cards take less interest in the board. (I've seen a lot less posts from Lipset, Lempke, Macrae, etc. lately. Hate to lose experts like those.)
2) Vintage baseball cards don't change much. There aren't hundreds of new questions to ask every day. Maybe we need more patience and less posts?
3) There are some good questions, but people don't respond. It seems people would rather talk about scams, grading, and showing what they bought. For some reason, a number of card questions get little or no response. Examples:
Post about Rittenhouse cards - fell to page 5 before I found mine and responded. Since then no responses and back to page 4. http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=153652&messageid=1118401879&lp=1119586285
Question on Hage's - not quite pre-43, but still... Someone out there must have one: http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=153652&messageid=1119585045&lp=1119585045
