and dpeck, saw the jabs going back and forth in the other thread. sorry to see that. and unfortunately w/ the cu board being run into the ground by whoever or whatever gag order regulations they have in place, there aren't really a lot of other places to go to discuss cardboard.
whether this board, that board or simply just bored this hobby is supposed to be a community. that word is derived from the words "common" and "unity". who cares what who collects? seriously.
lately on just about every board and on every front, it seems to be solely filled w/ nothing but negativity and wickedness. it's a shame.
i know you don't do a ton of prewar either and while not as active, maybe try the postwar side of the sandbox. i feel like i was dragged over here by "the list" and it's darkside. and by darkside, i don't mean the people, more the vibe. it's pretty heavy on this side....hopefully frankie goes to hollywood soon

I like to keep up with all aspects of the hobby. I have been reading this board for years and just post when a thread pops up that I think one is warranted.
The boxing/wrestling side is a little slow but I have started some threads there to show some of my collection.
I think most of us just like to talk to other people who share the passion of collecting cards. It is a small hobby in reality and so message boards are a good place for people to talk and share ideas and stories.
There are a lot of people who are tough online but in reality are much more soft in real life. I think it is just the nature of the internet.
You just brush off the negativity and focus on why you are here. Cards are fun and in the end none of us need this stuff but choose to collect it for various reasons.
I love to see others share their collections and especially when it is as awesome as what you posted. That takes a lot of effort and it shows.
