Two Pick Up threads?

[Leon]

I don't care to have too many "discussions" in the new pick up threads but want to at least discuss having two pick up threads, at a time, or per month. As it sits now I am opposed to 2 different threads at once, one being a T206 pickup thread and another with everything else. However, depending on folks thoughts I could see potentially having one thread on the 1st and another on the 15th, thereby making each one a bit more manageable. Overall, I don't think it's broken though so will be reluctant to change it. But it rarely hurts discussing board operations and I have been known to change my mind before.

Maybe the T206 collectors could post their pickups in the "Monster Number" thread?

Haters gonna hate!

Isn't a pickup a pickup? I love seeing everyone's scores and the mix of different card types from post to post. Although I am biased, I do think that the T206 collectors on here are as passionate about the hobby as the rest and enjoy sharing their little cardboard wins amongst all the other great types. I say keep it the way it is.

I agree I like having everything all in one thread.. I don't like t206's much but I don't think that they take up TOO much room in the pickups thread.

I will say that all the freakshow cards should have their own separate thread... kind of like separating the freaks in a high school lunchroom.. (kidding)

Since I discovered the "go to last viewed" button (the little blue down arrow to the left of the thread title), even the longest threads have been easy for me to navigate. I'm not a T206 fan-atic, but I do enjoy seeing what others have added. No need for a split thread here.

The pick-up thread, that way it is now, stays on the front page near the top pretty much all month. I say leave it that way.

I would also suggest keeping it on topic, as far as pick-ups. Sometimes it does seem to turn into a t206 discussion...

Hence the reason for this thread . Like I say, I think it's fine the way it is too but I see no reason to not discuss it for a bit. Personally I enjoy the pick up threads a lot and love to see what my friends are nabbing for their collections.

I think it's just fine the way it is.

My comment was meant to be humorous, I was not really looking to start a second thread for T206 pick-ups. I agree with everyone that T206's are just as important to card collecting as what I collect or what everyone else does and I have no problem with those collectors being proud of and posting their cards. What prompted me to post the comment was the comparatively high number of follow-up comments seemingly everytime a T206 collector posts a recent pick-up.

No worries Phil. I also remember someone suggesting T206s have their own forum too. It's all good....

Those T206 collectors do seem to be overly excited about vintage cards, and there are so many of them!

Is there some way we can kill some of their enthusiasm and reduce their numbers? Leon - please do the exact opposite of what you have been doing for the hobby, but aim it only at T206 collectors. We'll tell you when to stop.
