Question on redoing this forum?

[brett 75]

I haven't posted in a while but like to read the forum when I get a chance. I do collect mostly vintage but also some of the modern as well . I voted no and think a separate forum would work better . I used to go to one of the other sites but it became to much bickering not worth weeding through all the bs to get good information. I would definatley use both forums. Would love to be able to talk and trade some Topps Heritage and Topps 206 thanks, Brett

There should be a modern forum, but it shouldn't be be included in the postwar baseball card forum. There would be a B/S/T forum for modern, right?

I voted no. I think this should remain a pre 80's forum. If you opened it up to modern cards it would get too cluttered with the modern shiny and game used cards. The vintage cards would get buried almost instantly. Even though I don't post on here often I do come here and read the threads on this forum all the time.

A large part of the charm of this website, for me, is getting the pulse of the hobby through the eyes of other collectors. This happens to be my favorite period to collect and ,as a result, I spend the most time here. However, I also like to venture off into the pre-war forum, as well as the other sports forums. I strongly feel it is sectioned off perferctly as is. A 1980 to present forum would be a welcome addition for the same reason I love the rest of the forums-- getting the current hobby pulse from collectors with interest in that particular segment.

Again, why tinker with what isn't broken. After the WW II rations, a natural deliniation point was formed, as the hobby was forever changed by newcomers Bowman and Topps. And the '80's again forever changed the hobby as the decade started with the ending of the Topps monopoly and ended with UD's ushering in of the premium card.

It may bring with it a few new members and a whole new perspective on the "shiny junk" era.

One last thing, it should include all sports.
