Net54 Exemplar File

[Runscott]

Leon, here's an idea.

I think others have a good point that the discussions are more valuable than actual exemplars. What if we had a sub-forum of autograph discussions, with threads grouped by player? That way, if someone had a question about Mantle, for example (rhyme), they could go find the 'Mantle' area and look through various discussion threads.

The trick would be deciding which discussions were worthy of adding as exemplars.

I will help with anything ya'll want Scott. Historically, interest has waned quickly in these types of ventures (see game used forums on this board) but I am willing to do whatever you guys want. As mentioned, I only have limited personal interest, at best, in autographs. I did add an Ali one to the subforum . You guys figure out what you want, and if it has enough interest.....then we can go from there. It really doesn't matter how ya'll do it, to me. It's ya'lls ball of wax......

If there is going to be an exemplar file, I think it would be useful to add in the description of each autograph if it was obtained first person, obtain from which dealer (if applicable) and approximate year signed (if known). I think that would help to show variations from year to year etc.

I could easily move threads to that forum I just created...and have it as read only. Again, whatever you guys want is fine by me.

edited to add...I deleted that forum, it was only to show what can be done. The jury is out...
