Here is a can of worms....If I owned the forum I would....

[darwinbulldog]

Two things come to mind.

1. I would have a separate BST page for unique (i.e., one-of-a-kind) cards and keep a running list of unique cards sought (with links to contact the interested buyer/trader) and unique cards offered and a list of successful white whale captures facilitated by the page.

2. I would, and I'd have done this quite a few years ago, have banned Ted Z. for repeatedly harassing younger members of the forum and anyone else who disagrees with him and points out his mistakes.

I could not DISAGREE more! Ted's hobby knowledge far outweighs any squabbles he may have, though I bet a lot of them are warranted on his part.

Of course, I've never been on the receiving end...

Viva Ted!

- and respect your elders. If you don't, you will regret it someday.

Isn't that #4 of the Ten Commandments here, thou shalt not speak ill of tedzan, barrysloate, or frankbmd ? Seriously, I have never seen any reason to.

That ship has already sailed.

Don't insult Ted and Barry by grouping Frank with them.

Lots of wonderful ideas in this thread. Here are my two cents:

-- I agree with others here that some kind of feedback system for transactions would be nice. I think it would help new users feel more comfortable making deals on this site and could only help us grow in the long run.

-- Asking prices should be required when putting something up for sale in the BST section. I'd say scans should be too, but due to too many images/people having difficulty adding images to their post, I don't think that one is really feasible.

-- Just trying to spitball ways to get even more discussion going on here, but maybe have a weekly topic thread stickied to the top of both the pre-war and post-war forums. Examples would be like T211, Ty Cobb, and T206 Plank on the pre-war board, and 1949 Leaf, Hank Aaron, 1952 Mantle on the post-war board. Not only would these be great places to learn and ask questions as they are happening, but once we have enough of them they would be a great point of reference for anyone just looking to learn more about the hobby. You could even have a poll every Sunday to pick the topic of the thread to be created on Monday.

Overall, you run a pretty good ship, Leon. Thanks for all the time you put in to give us crazy assholes a place to hang out!

Yeah, that stupid spell check didn't help me with COVFEFE either.

Hahaha. Try corpseman and 57 states and see if either one works.
