Seems People Have Forgotten This is Pre-War
I love that all these new people have found the site, but please be reminded that this section is for pre-war baseball (pre WWII, not Viet Nam). There are other areas for post war, and basketball, and non-sports.
Some threads that go into topics that transcend pre-war, like the skyrocketing prices of cards, generally, I think have been accepted. But lately I see lots of threads about 1950s cards and freshly graded Jordan’s on the main page. Can we be mindful to put the right topics in the right parts of the site. Thanks |
Since you asked so politely.......
|
excellent reminder ron

The front page is never more than 25% pre-war threads. The majority is usually made up of death notices, complaining (ebay, PSA, Deans, scammers, AH rules and ethics, TPG wait times, HOF voting - the list goes on and on), as well as post-war cards, modern card values and paid advertisements.
My point is that while I 100% agree with you, this is not a new phenomenon either. |

Picked up an n172 Burns to go with my n173 Dogs Head Burns. Thought I'd add some vintage cards to this thread.

You're correct. Probably 80% of topics on the prewar page belong in the watercooler section. Tpg and auction house complaints would consume it.
After checking, I was wrong. It's about 50%. |
I like the vibe of both the pre-war and post-war forums, I like them separate since they have different energy on each forum. If we're talking about cards specifically pre-war belongs here, post-war belongs there. I agree wholeheartedly that we should all be telling more stories about baseball and collecting whether it's pre or post war.

here hear (couldnt bother to look up which version is appropriate)!

Generally, when you make a non-T206 pre-war post lately on the forum it gets about 300-400 views and quickly disappears from the front page with little community input. There is nothing wrong with T206 but that seems to be the life blood of this forum if I'm being honest.
The threads that stick around tend to be the ones that have the most controversy, calling out bad dealers, scams, etc. |

Lighten up guys. There's so much going on in the hobby today that some of the off topic stuff pertains to all.

For cards sake. This was an ebay auction recently. I had a hard time not bidding. Any of you pick it up?

it's a losing fight! There is only so much left to discuss in the vintage world...and the old and the new have become intermingled.

By all means Dean, great cards. Let's see some pre war member green theme cards, or are we going to talk about some dodo spending 5 mil on a Mantle?

To a kid collecting today, 2015 Topps is “old”. :) So, these problematic posters aren’t wrong, they’re just early! |
