Hey Leon,

Trust me when I say, you have easily the most relevant boxing forum on the internet as far as boxing cards & collectibles go. Any other place that has tried it, generally turns into a place for fight film guys to trade tapes & dvd's.

I like that this hasn't become that.

The views are there, so people are looking at stuff that goes up, many just seem to not be posting, which is common. A lot of the collectors tend to the older more private side, as evidenced that many of the biggest collectors are private feedback bidders going back to the early days of Ebay (no they are not shills LOL) before sniping tools became popular.

It's not a huge club, and they always tended to be wary of other competitors following their bidding patterns, and either bidding them up, or straight outbidding them on items they thought they had a bead on, based on some obscure search term they used.

I'm embarrassed to say, a large percentage of the original posts in that section, are for my own auction notices related to boxing, but I would be ecstatic to have more company there.

If I could pass on any suggestions, it would be to rename the forum "Boxing / Wrestling Cards & Memorabilia Forum".

Get that extra keyword in there, maybe attract a few more contributors.
