Is it time to respect postcards in the B/S/T

It seems this would clearly identify the space where postcards can be found, but that doesn't add a whole new category.

I think there are already too many categories, as far as adding anymore. I will never say never but don't see it.
I will definitely consider adding "Postcards" to a section already there, if that is what folks would like? That being the case I think we should consider looking at the least used section in the BST, which is 19th Century. How about if that were to say "19th Century Cards and Baseball Postcards". I don't think we want to open it to any postcard as that is whole different hobby in itself. Open to debate and maybe the Pre-War category for them would be best?

I would agree with Leon that there are probably already two many categories, and he has a pretty good feel for what's right for the board.

But I would also say there is very little doubt that there are many more people interested in postcards than there are people interested in championship rings (just one very knowledgeable person does the vast majority of posting in that category).

As long as "Baseball Postcards" has a home somewhere on BST, exactly where at Leon's discretion, I am happy.

ok, there is a specific place for ALL Baseball postcards. It's with the 19th century cards. We'll see how this works. You guys police yourselves too, please.

When I came here, I knew next to nothing about post cards. It took looking at Jeff's collection for the first time to see what was possible, and ever since then, I've just loved them. I like the A.C. Dietsche Detroit Tigers post cards as well as the Exhibits post cards. I look forward to expanding my collection to include several examples.
