I sent a request to Tobacco Card Collectors to join, but like the others I can't see the other group.

Anyone know what's involved in starting/running a group?

I joined the Tobacco Card Collectors group this week. There are only 100 or so members, so not a ton of posting. I’d love to see more people join it instead of making more groups to join, all talking about the same things.

I posted in there and got more comments in an hour than I ever get when I post in the pickup threads here (you know, since I’m not posting graded Cobb or Mathewson cards).

Tobacco Row is set up as a secret group on Facebook. Won't be able to find it from a search. You have to know one of the members in order to be vouched in. This helps keep it as a safe place to buy sell trade and mostly talk pre war cards. Currently there are 387 with 358 listed as "active". Active meaning they were on the page in the last 28 days. The group will be 2 years old in August.

If you would like... Send me a PM on facebook and i'll see if we have any mutual friends that may be able to add / vouch you in. FB Link below.

People in the group often call it the best kept secret on facebook. It's more of a community than the normal buy sell groups we see most facebook groups become with thousands of members.

I believe you were one of the guys in the other group that had some kind words about my Scoops Carey back run. It was nice that others appreciated it.

I am not a FB fan. I went to one of those groups yesterday and it's a fustercluck to me. Good luck to that organizational nightmare. And FB is so freaking invasive it won't ever be a part of this forum. For all those that like FB, more power to you. Have fun!! We'll be here with the largest software system specifically designed for forums, Vbulletin.

I should add I am not against collectors collecting on FB. Party on, the more the merrier.

+1 we have a relative who posts pictures and personal information
about family members without their permission all the time. When
someone posts a link to FB even if it's card related I won't click on it.
I don't have any interest in joining.

I am not a FB fan. I log on a few times a month and belong to a few groups. I just thought I should belong to something related to prewar/T206 considering my addiction.

I am not a fan of secret non-inclusive groups either, so starting one seemed like a good idea. I have no idea what that involves, so maybe I will stay away.
