The future of this autograph forum

Jeeze Zip why do you always want to start a fight

[travrosty]

there is a separate forum for game used 1980-present which last post was three days ago. why pick on this one?

[MooseDog]

Agree with keeping separate...weren't we basically kicked out of the memorabilia forum anyway?

While I'd certainly like to see less infighting, it comes with the territory. Kinda funny how people want to see the drama threads die, but yet they go on and on...like a soap opera. You tune in to see how it's going to turn out then the story goes off in another direction.

For my part I will make a better effort to follow through on my threat to post more "old-time" stories...

I've been a member of this and earlier versions of this board for over a decade, and there have been and will be fights and brew ha ha's on the good ol' baseball card section. They tend to be more isolated, but do happen. Perhaps one thing is that since the card side has been in existence for so long, many have grown tired of cat fights.

One thing of note about the card side is, while fakes and forgeries and scams and bad grading are topics, a majority of the threads aren't about those things. Take a look. A majority of the threads about authentic baseball cards people like to look at and discuss. If every Net54 baseball card thread was about a fake, forgery or scam, I'd quit visiting it, because it would be depressing and boring.

ok guys.....it stays. Thanks for the feedback.

[Deertick]

Does this qualify as a "Feel Good" thread?

[RichardSimon]

I just saw the thread and was going to post let this forum stay the way it is and I see Leon has already made that decision.
Way to go Leon.

haha. Except for the 'non-autograph' guys using it as a chance to take a shot at autograph collectors, it is sort of 'feel good'.

I personally don't see any reason for anyone who doesn't collect autographs, to have an elitist collector attitude, and feel that their level of drama is more 'correct'.

It's a lot easier to collect a slabbed card with a grade number and a slot in the VCP catalog, etc., without drama, than an autograph. If you don't agree, then you are probably one of the blind zillionaires who buys from AH catalogs based on JSA and PSA tags, and doesn't think this forum is worth reading. Hopefully your buddies are giving you the ego-rub you need when they see your 1990's Babe Ruth ball on your mantle.

Good call! Count me as one more late vote for keeping separate. Easier to navigate the whole forum with more sub categories and will keep fights contained in one area.

[timzcardz]

Congratulations, Leon!

You proved that it WAS POSSIBLE for everyone on this subforum to agree on something!

You must have me mistaken with someone else.

If you need someone's argument arbitration services, Scott (Rusnscott) was a bouncer back in Texas.

Sort of. Basically, I used to start bar fights, then claim to be a bouncer and throw out the other guy.

Leon - thanks for letting this stay as-is.

Scott doing some of his best work:

Mike, that was awesome, but my best work was because someone was sitting on the empty Lone Star cases and ignored me when I told him to move. It wouldn't make youtube.
