I am with you. Sometimes folks will chime in and sometimes not so much. I have to constantly remind myself that this Ne54 VBCF was started as a pre-war board.....and the post war side came on about 7 yrs later....We made this side due to many requests, but just like on the memorabilia side, many of those requesters rarely participate.....I got out of the post war stuff when I quit doing the rookie HOF collection thingy...regards

I'm here.....

I think the Topps test/oddball collector base is relatively thin, plus there are some other postwar boards, especially for those who collect slabs. The Vintage board has a lot of critical mass at this point; the Post War board needs a little more time maybe to start accelerating. Perhaps Leon could place an ad in Old Cardboard or SCD (only half-joking!) to alert the world.

My postings depend a lot on my son's sports schedule, especially baseball. He plays most weekends and some weeknights between April 1 and November 15 every year, the majority of which are a good drive from here and many are doubleheaders to boot. I work/commute long hours as well so if my free time goes into getting to his games, etc. it ends up taking away from being able to post nearly as much as I would like except in the winter.

I do have some stuff I want to post about soon so stay tuned.

I lurk here too. Just haven't had a lot of free time to post pictures..that's my main problem. I collect type cards from Pre to Post War so I'm always intersted in looking here to see what odd issues are out there!

Actually that's a da** good idea. I trade the advertising at a few places so to advertise the post war side would make a lot of sense.....it won't cost anything and the pre war side is fairly active......thanks for the good suggestion...
