Posted By: <b>DD</b><p>Why don't we pitch in and place a full page ad in SCD touting the knowledge of this board? We don't even need to mention specific issues. People will be curious enough to check it out, and can read some of the threads for themselves.<br /><br />Maybe there is room on the home page for a small counter box for important threads that a new visitor could click on, such as this thread.<br /><br />It would be a small investment if we each kicked in 3 or 5 or 10 dollars each. The ad copy wouldn't take that long to write, and Leon could have final approval, assuming that he would want to do this at all (hi Leon). Nothing specific would need to be mentioned, just the general topics of discussion, free to join, monthly contests and prizes, already has major auction houses that contribute not just with ads, but with participation in the threads as well.<br /><br />If SCD rejected the ad, we know where they stand.<br /><br />If they accept it,, and just a few people came over and read about STAT, opinions on grading companies, etc., it could be enough to change the way some things are done. <br /><br />At the very least, maybe some of the new blood could add to the knowledge of this board, or maybe it will bring a collection of the woodwork. Who knows? At least it is a tangible action, with a low investment, that could produce some results.<br /><br />A lot of if's, but the outcome could tell us where the true collector really stands in this hobby/business, for a minimal investment. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />
