Memorabilia forum focus?

[Leon]

Hey Ya'll
I am sure Dan will have his own thoughts, and will have a large part in the final decision, but I figure taking a poll would be a good thing to gauge the interest level on different topics being included here. First of all I would like to get 4-10 good choices to vote on....once we have those then we can do a separate thread or add a poll to this one..This really is ya'lls forum as I don't collect much memorabilia, I am just trying to help. A few to start could be:


1. Pre-WWII Baseball only
2. Pre-WWII All Sports
3. Vintage Baseball only (up to a certain year, 1980?)
4. Vintage All sports (up to a certain year, 1980?)
5. ?
6. ?
7. ?
8. ?
9. ?
10. ?







thanks much....

I personally am mainly interested in Baseball, however, I think Vintage All sports up to a certain year (1980) is the way to go. I know there are people on here that are hardline pre-WWII, but hey, teams I've been collecting lately like the 60 pirates and 61 Yankees are over 50 years old...which is vintage to me

Vintage All Sports would be cool.

I enjoy seeing memorabilia from many different sports.

I will likely be in the minority, but I tend to pick up game used stuff from the past 10-20 years...stuff that isn't necessarily expensive, but rather interesting. It would be kind of neat to share some of those finds with everyone. As an example, just replaced my desk chair in my home office with this...direct from the locker room of the 2010 World Series champs...



Chair belonged to and is signed by Roberto Kelly...

#4) Vintage all sports

This forum gets a decent number of new threads, but not enough that it should be made more focused. I think all-sports would add more new threads which would make it better. Nothing wrong with seeing a new thread about football or hockey.

In short, more new posts and topics on vintage sports in this thread, the better.

#4...vintage all sports..with leeway for some non-vintage as long as you are a regular contributor.

Whenever I am on the memorabilia side I enjoy seeing other sports too. Must be something about memorabilia rather than cards that makes us more interested in stuff from other eras (even past WWII) and sports.
