autographs....

[Big Dave]

The autograph section is the most viable and used section on this forum, more posts, more replies, more views.

It makes no sense to blend this section back with the others.

Are you serious? Zero posts in a day and a half is the most used? Please help me understand how you got to that conclusion you made?

there was Football on and the 2nd to last weekend of baseball. Maybe people were actually doing something constructive yesterday.

It's welcome to any Forum when that noodle for a brain is done with his stupidity....It's addition by subtraction. Subtract a Big Giant Fat Hard Head and you can actually get some dialogue from actual collectors and dealers instead of an unfeeling, borderline crooked, uneducated Jerk off, IMHO

All I am saying is that if there is enough activity in this forum then it will stay. If there isn't then it will be combined with the memorabilia section the way it used to be. Everyone can still talk about autographs, or not, but there might not be an individual section. If I could contribute more I would but I am not an autograph guy, per se..... It seems everyone wants a separate section, but with no one posting very much, I am not sure why?

Well Leon, if you want to just count the past day, you are correct and the autograph section truly sucks. But if you want to get out of your very short term view and look at it overall, there is no way you are correct and the autograph section is number one on this forum in threads, replies, views. I remember the last time this section slacked off for a few days. You did the same thing as you are doing now. It's like you go into panic mode if there isn't mutiple posts every day.

This is the best autograph forum on the net. Why mess with success? Just look at what happened to the autograph section at game used universe after they messed with it......total ghost town, and it was number one.

But what the hey, it's your's to do with it as you chose. Listen to the people that actually use this forum, or not.

I agree with Dave. A few quiet days does not make a trend. These things are cyclical and historically after periods of a lot of activity there have been "pauses."

If it went on regularly for weeks I think it may deserve a second look. But I don't see anything out of the ordinary at this juncture.

Just my 2 cents...

Thanks Steve.....no worries. Nothing is imminent......I am always trying to look out for what is best for the forum, that is all. Even though the class idiot was disruptive he did post a lot....

Ha! True dat.

Almost like he was posting for 2 or 3 people

...which means that the only reason the autograph collectors need our own sub-forum, is to have enough space to argue in;otherwise, it's true that our conversations would be civil and fun, but as Leon has pointed out - where are they?

I'll start a really boring one in a moment, but it's the only thing I can think of.

Leon, you are a genius. Start a thread about a lack of posts and Voila!

Don't worry about this forum. Just because we don't debate every day whether a little spot on the back of a card is a printing error, doesn't make us any less nuts. Well, maybe it does.

But the little spot on the back of a card is better than the alternative of a bad autograph. On one you have a lower grade, on the other you have writing on paper.

That's a cheap shot and I resent you saying it!!!! Jerk! And crap like this wouldn't happen if:

1) Leon was trustworthy
2) PSA/DNA would get better exemplars
3) Shelly was Sheila
4) Obama wasn't President
5) My students would study more
5) I could count
6) Mickey Mantle had a harder auto to forge
7) Religous extremists would be more willing to stand up for their beliefs
8) It wasn't for these lousy hemorrhoids!

How'd I do??

I disagree with everyone and I refuse to establish why. That should be good for 500 posts.

Well, regarding #8 - if all of you would agree to quit buying those 'loopy M' autographed items, our fights would probably move more toward Ted Williams.

Oh yeah, and those freshly-signed Babe Ruth baseballs.
