Vintage vs Modern pick-ups

Again, if it bothers people, let me know and I'll stop.

Nate, sorry for the late response. This wasn't a thread to tell you to that your posts "bother people" and that you should stop posting. I really thought my question was fairly clear - 2 threads, or stay with one? What part of that told you to stop posting? This has to be the straw man creation thread of the century.

If you don't like scrolling through tons of photos (I agree with you totally on that point), then why not suggest a separate 'photo pick-up' thread? There's really nothing wrong with that idea, given how many photo collectors have entered the market lately, and how many photo archives are being auctioned off.

You're ok, Scott. I didn't actually mean it to sound like I responding just to you. It was more for everyone who may think it's been annoying.

We used to have a game used portion and Leon closed it down, and that's ok. I was usually one of the few that posted in it anyways, that's why he moved the game used in with the vintage memoribilia. I think more people would start posting in that though now than what little traffic it got before.

I guess I could always start a game used thread each month to keep it away from the photos/memoribilia pickups that seems like what most people post anyways. That way, if you want to see it, great. If game used really isn't your thing, you can scroll past it. I really don't have a problem with that if that is what everyone would like to see happen.

BTW-- thank you all for the nice messages. I didn't even know you guys paid much attention to what I posted in the pick up threads.

Nate, I'm really sorry - I didn't realize that had happened. I have been posting over on GUU lately, and it seems like a pretty knowledgeable crowd.

Jesus.....I'm new here.....I thought this kind of bickering only took place in that other, non-baseball forum where I have 12K+ posts. Show all your stuff, guys.....it's not like this place is that busy....but I do like it!

Rob, no one suggested that 'all' stuff should not be shown. Read the post before you respond, please. The 'bickering' was due to the same sort of straw man you just built, so stop contributing to it. Thanks.

edited to add: Here's a thought for you, Rob, and the others who either didn't understand my OP, or who are thinking of this as me wanting to rid the forum of GU stuff (which I have stated repeatedly was NOT my intent). Instead of the aforementioned, think of my new thread idea as wanting to rid YOUR monthly game-used thread of those pesky vintage things by removing it to a new 'monthly vintage pick-ups' thread.

Scott- the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth? I had just returned from happy (3) hour when I posted that. Never a good idea. I apologize.....I knew exactly what you were saying and it's not a bad idea. In my inebriated state, I was more taken by the back and forth and made the dumb decision to fuel the fire. You are obviously a major contributor here and a major asset. No need for me to be on your bad side!

It's okay. I always have to be very careful when I say anything about game-used, adding two attaboys for any criticism or suggested change. I wasn't careful enough this time, and the result, in hindsight, should have been expected.
