Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Now their pre-50 is 1940-1949....but lists all the same cards they used to in the pre-50 category? Oh well.....I guess if we just go to the oldest section we will always be ok.......regards all<BR><BR><a href="http://listings.ebay.com/pool2/plistings/list/all/category16268/index.html" target=_new>http://listings.ebay.com/pool2/plistings/list/all/category16268/index.html</a>

Posted By: <b>Kevin Cummings</b><p>Last night when I was in the sell section they did not have the new categories (<b><font color=red>31717</font> - Pre 1930; <font color=red>31720</font> - 1930 to 1939 and <font color=red>16268</font> - 1940 to 1949</b>), but this morning they do. <BR><BR>I'm not sure what their plans are to recategorize all the items posted under the previous pre-1950 category into their new designations, but for now it sure confuses the lookup process.

Posted By: <b>B Hodes</b><p>Well I would have drawn the line at 1948 or 1947 and maybe 1930 but I guess the ultimate result will be that we don't have to wade through early Bowman cards. Now if thye could just move the Reprints .....

Posted By: <b>Kevin Cummings</b><p>A new ebay category that would be most helpful would be "<b>NASA Graded Items and Blatant Forgeries</b>" but I think we'd still have people posting into the pre-1930 category "by mistake." <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>If they bothered to actually talk to colelctors adn dealers, the most logical breakdown would be modern cards 1945-date, 1930-1945, 1920-29, pre-1920 and a 19th century only catagory would be nice.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Not that it will ever happen but it would be nice:<BR><BR>pre-'41...(I don't think enough supply exists, at <BR> one time, for a 19th century category)<BR><BR>'42-'80<BR>'81-present<BR><BR>and another for AAA, NASA, Libertyforall and other fraudelent/deceptive items.... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><BR><BR>best regards all<BR>

Posted By: <b>jeff s</b><p>to explain to eBay the benefits of a system like Leon describes. (Separate the early gum from the topps/bowman, and the tobacco from the gum.) That was when they seriously revamped the system maybe 1 year ago, and they were soliciting advice. Oh well...I should've figured that since I'm not paying $15/auction to sell scraps of paper, they wouldn't care much for what I (or legions of other collectors) would have to say...<BR>

Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>I just noticed the new sections. Yes, it's obvious they never asked a collector how to classify listings. I would like to see more company sections like:<BR><BR>Goudey (1933-1941)<BR>Play Ball (1939-1941)<BR>Bowman (1948-1955)<BR>Red Man (1952-1955)<BR>Topps (broken down by decade)<BR><BR>A section for reprints would be nice and how about breaking up the "graded" section into companies: GAI - PSA - SGC - and one for AAA/NASA for all the bidders who don't know what they are buying but have the right to buy the junk anyway.

Posted By: <b>Dr.Koos</b><p>...just hit the search icon, and type in FRAUDULENT Auctions. All the pissed on and erasure reprints, the laminated/spliced T-cards with impossible front/back combinations, the counterfeit signed cards, NASA and AAA graded scrapbook material, etc. all pop right up!!!! Try it.
