Considering merging this section with memorabilia ......

Separate but equal.

I go on this section multiple times daily and would like it to stay as is

Of course I always want what is best for the forum. Merging sections makes sense on a few levels but we'll see how it goes and leave it for now. But I just can't imagine having a whole section for 2-3 threads a day for the long term. It makes more sense to have one forum of 5-10 new threads than 2 of them split up with that many..
If ya'll remember this section was formed because of the angst some auto collectors (at the time) brought to the memorabilia forum. That angst is all but gone (thank goodness). For now we'll leave it and thanks for the feedback.

i like it leave it seperate

Seems good as it is. Enough traffic, and not like the section is hard to find.

Scott Garner · #6 11-30-2016, 05:56 PM

I would prefer it was separated, FWIW.

Leon,
Any chance of creating a separate "is this real" sub forum? I thank autographs can work merged with memorabilia if we created he "is this real" sub forum...just my thought

There really isn't a whole lot more to talk about with autographs than are they good, how were they ascertained, what was the person like who was signing etc...So a new section for "are they real" is sort of redundant?

If activity doesn't pick up it will eventually get merged just as the game used section went away due to lack of activity.

I'm pretty heavily on the autograph side, I vote to keep them separate.

Merge. Easier to look in one place.

Keep 'em separate. I'm on the auto section frequently, but have hardly ever visited the memorabilia section.

mrmopar · #12 11-30-2016, 10:36 PM

I only regularly visit 4-5 forums and this is one of them. I would like to see it remain it's own sub forum.

I also enjoy having it separate. I have been able to get some good information on some autographs I needed info and very quickly. I am afraid, as someone else alluded to, it might get "buried".

One other benefit to keeping it separate is from the outside looking in. You can always say that Net54 has an autograph forum where some of this country's best dealers and authenticators participate.

Very true. I am slow to change when the folks posting don't want it.

And Richard, I know the autograph guys are a different bunch AND there other internet forums dedicated solely to autographs. If you guys really want it separate it's not a big deal. Carry on...no need to have threads for the sake of threads so don't worry about it.

+1, but don't forget about the collectors!

I think the autograph section is good as its own distinct section, but I also notice that people often post autograph questions in the memorabilia section-- which suggest that this section may get lost. It is sort of tucked in there in the listings.

Though not a participant, I do check out the autograph section and know it's here-- but I whatever Leon chooses is fine by me. I'm sure he's got the visiting data to go by.

Though I think it might be best to put it in the memorabilia section, to get more traffic. I know many of the collectors in that section are interested in autographs and some members post in both sections. But that's just my humble vote.
