Recommendation for Leon / Board

[scottglevy]

It seems that a lot of people come here for similar information about player and back scarcity for different sets (especially T sets).

Is it possible for us to put together a resource tab where we rate the relative difficulty of sets and of players and backs within each set?

Certainly would be a very valuable source of info to have --- and as a community we can probably do a fine job of creating it.

Regards,
Scott

We already have these threads in the Archive Center for some prewar sets. It would be easy to add more.

Scott - we've got the "archive center" which has this info for some issues, and Leon's always open to adding additional threads to it if you (or anyone else) wants to suggest them. I do think that any such information would have to be in discussion forum (like those threads) because there usually isn't consensus on these kinds of discussions.

Correct, Rick. If you guys come up with them (and I will help when I can) we can add them.

This is a great start to the Exhibit information .....what I will suggest is that we (maybe you) start a new thread entitled something like "Comprehensive Exhibit Supply Co (ESCO) Information".....that way we can get it all in one tidy thread, lock it in several days, and post it to our archives. We can do that with any sets or information we want to.
