I don't think this collateralized sportscard loan is for most of us, but for a dealer, or even a collector, it could be a way to do a deal they couldn't otherwise do.

You do you. The market will dictate...just not my style.

There is a lot of give and take on the board. I didn't say anything when you posted your unauthorized ad on the front page. I don't say much about a lot of stuff that goes on. You are a good member and I wouldn't say anything about it but since we are talking about ads I figured I would throw it out there. Maybe some day I can make the show you are VP of Publicity for.

If everyone else who has previously posted a notice about a show has privately asked for your permission, which I admittedly did not, then I apologize.

"Posting of auctions, events or shows, on the front page, must be approved by the moderator first."

No apology necessary. The rules are the rules and every single ad on the front page is approved by me, either before or after it goes up. Just about the only time I have deleted anything (except in a few extraordinary cases) is when there is an unauthorized ad on the front page. Thanks.

ps... to reiterate, I don't mind your ad if it helps collectors, it doesn't seem to be a real "for profit" venture as much as a good collectors show, AND you are a good participant here. That is why I hadn't said anything (no reason to) but the rule is to ask first. I don't think The Gold Standard Card-Collateral banner will hurt anyone or cause harm to the board. But we do all have our opinions and everyone is welcome to voice theirs in a (mostly) professional manner .
