Two Pick Up threads?

The opinion was put forth earlier in this thread that some folks no longer get the "warm n' fuzzies" looking at scans of less valuable, less rare cards. Hey, that's their choice. More power to 'em. Segregate the upper class from the peasantry. Without separation, that "tsk tsk" tongue clicking sound of those who do not appreciate a lesser card would be deafening.

Beauty can be found in the "strangest of places if you look at them right". Hopefully this dis-pleases no-one.

wasn't there a limit as to how many posts could be on a thread? I seem to remember some months having five or six pick up threads, because there were so many posts. I found that a lot more annoying than one long thread.

Mike, we could actually use a few more Zeenuts in the pickup thread. I've been collecting them, but haven't been posting them. I probably will start doing so.

I don't see a reason to separate them. I know the running joke seems to be that t206's are a different beast all-together...But, ultimately they're just cards. I'm pretty sure there's a few people who may be put off by some of the complete and total sh!t beaters that I post. But there seems be an understanding that I'm just a different type of collector, and that there are many others who are at the same stage that I am.. Basically, t206's are, at their core, no different from beaters in terms of personal taste..

However there are many of us, who don't post EVERYTHING we pickup.. Mostly just the notable ones. I think some judgement could be used when choosing what to post, or wait to lump the less notable ones in one post. But I'm not one to judge and am perfectly fine with the way things are.. There are many degrees of collecting on this board. Something that seems commonplace to some, may be exciting and new to someone else. Let's not ruin their fun, by minimalizing what may be the next step in their collectible evolution..

As far as discussions in the pickup thread, I'm fine with it too. If a card is worth discussing(but not enough for it's own thread), then I don't see a problem with it..

Nicely stated.
