Generally, when you make a non-T206 pre-war post lately on the forum it gets about 300-400 views and quickly disappears from the front page with little community input. There is nothing wrong with T206 but that seems to be the life blood of this forum if I'm being honest.

The threads that stick around tend to be the ones that have the most controversy, calling out bad dealers, scams, etc.

My general feeling is the further away from pre-war the more OT something is on the front page. If the subject has to do with WWII or before, even tangentially, it can usually stay. A 1952 Topps question should go in the post war section but it's not that far away from Pre War so many times they can stay. And an occasional off topic, by a frequent poster, is mostly ok. It would be nice if more members started good Pre-war card threads but it is what it is.

Pre WWII baseball cards and threads are most appreciated.

Hey Leon, I know that "every thread needs a card", but I have a question...is there any rhyme or reason to the cards you choose? Do you have a playlist? Is it completely random? Do you see a thread (pun intended) with the card and the topic? Inquiring minds want to know.

. (Am I the only inquiring mind?

Here we go with some pre war

Lighten up guys. There's so much going on in the hobby today that some of the off topic stuff pertains to all.

For cards sake. This was an ebay auction recently. I had a hard time not bidding. Any of you pick it up?
