I would love an aggregate search of all open auctions minus eBay. It there is one please post a link. I have a VCP subscription, btw. Am I missing something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

1) is it possible to search for posts which contain two words? Lets say, for example, T206 Cobb. If I type T206 Cobb in the net54 search, I get all posts with EITHER "T206" or "Cobb". Can I finds all posts that have BOTH T206 and Cobb in them?
2) I guess I'm in the minority who finds the picture upload very easy. Click "manage attachments", select picture, click upload. What could be easier? I guess drag n drop could be easier? If its a size issue, I guess two options are for the user to save the picture in a smaller size, or for net54 to reduce the size on upload. I never upload pics from a cellphone (don't own one) so perhaps that's a different process? 3) Bring back Wonka and Dewolf. Lifetime bans should only be for scammers. |

1. Maybe it is the OCD in me or maybe I just enjoy browsing through every catalogue, but I wouldn't use an aggregate search function of all auctions.
2. If the goal is to grow membership, I think a paid subscription model is not the best idea. There has been talk for years about the possibility of a nominal fee for major sites such as Twitter and Facebook and there are reasons it has never come to pass. Bottom line is that a large number of people are opposed for various reasons. Too cheap, can't afford, concern of having credit card information stored etc. Sure, many who are here may pay initially, but new membership will be deterred and I suspect would be a shrinking business model. I for one am thankful Leon has kept it free and hope he can keep it or make it profitable through use of advertising. D@vid L@m0nt Last edited by sushihotwings; 05-29-2017 at 10:13 AM. |

Agreed. With how vitriolic the past few election cycles have been (and possibly further back than that, I'm just not old enough to remember), it's been nice to have one place on the internet that politics doesn't seep in to.

Lots of wonderful ideas in this thread. Here are my two cents:
-- I agree with others here that some kind of feedback system for transactions would be nice. I think it would help new users feel more comfortable making deals on this site and could only help us grow in the long run. -- Asking prices should be required when putting something up for sale in the BST section. I'd say scans should be too, but due to too many images/people having difficulty adding images to their post, I don't think that one is really feasible. -- Just trying to spitball ways to get even more discussion going on here, but maybe have a weekly topic thread stickied to the top of both the pre-war and post-war forums. Examples would be like T211, Ty Cobb, and T206 Plank on the pre-war board, and 1949 Leaf, Hank Aaron, 1952 Mantle on the post-war board. Not only would these be great places to learn and ask questions as they are happening, but once we have enough of them they would be a great point of reference for anyone just looking to learn more about the hobby. You could even have a poll every Sunday to pick the topic of the thread to be created on Monday. Overall, you run a pretty good ship, Leon. Thanks for all the time you put in to give us crazy assholes a place to hang out!

If I owned the forum, I would not allow AH's or anyone else promote their auctions in the main section.
I would create a separate section for all to advertise their wares free of charge. |

If you use these functions, which most members do, it gives you a group discount vs buying individually.

I would love to see every auction house listed who sells cards. The auction report reminds me when auctions are about to end. I think if we had a section just for auction houses and their auction dates, that every member would check it daily.

If I owned the forum I would have probably run it into the ground a long time ago, so I guess its good I'm not in charge.
Other than that pearl of wisdom I got nothin new to add. |

Collectibles Central tracks all of the auctions that use the SimpleAuctions platform. They also had a wishlist feature when I last checked many years ago so I assume they still have it. Collectable tracks most auctions that advertise here and includes the largest sports auction houses (Heritage, REA, Goldin, etc.) independent of what platform they use. They also have a wishlist feature. |

(1) Enhance the "Albums" feature, to encourage more members (such as yours truly) to make use of it.
(2) Enhance the spreadsheet list of "Net54 Vintage Collectors" by adding columns for collecting focuses and phone numbers (for those that wish to include this info) and proactively encourage more members to have their names included. I feel this could be a much greater resource. (3) I am a big fan of Show & Tells. Begin each week with a new Show & Tell thread on the Main Board for a specific HOFer. Do this alphabetically, starting with Aaron and ending with Yount, a few years later. Include a link to the player's bio in the first post in each of these threads. Keep each thread open for only one week for members to post pics of their cards, photos, other memorabilia, comments, etc. for the "HOFer of the week." Perhaps do the pre-War HOFers on the Main Board, and do the post-War Hofers on the Post-War Board.

Being serious for a second, this is why I ended my post with the probably-better suggestion to "perhaps do the pre-War HOFers on the Main Board, and do the post-War Hofers on the Post-War Board." By doing this, if I don't bother to read the Post-War Board, I'll never have to look at your "Yount."
