To me the only thing odd is that you called it out? We are all of the same ilk here, and I found it interesting and a cool thread. Topps being Topps!

Not sure why you would think it odd to mention it. If you look, there is a separate forum to post basketball in, and I thought it strange that they've gone to the trouble to set up a specific forum especially for basketball, and then someone doesn't use it that posts about a basketball card. Not giving anyone grief, just curious as to why this was being posted in a forum for a completely different sport.

I also found it an interesting find by the OP, and never realized it myself till he pointed it out. But still, why is it in a forum specifically titled as a "Postwar BASEBALL Cards Forum (Pre-1980)"? And what does it being a Topps card have to do with anything? It is not a Topps card forum, it is a Postwar Baseball Card Forum.

And we are definitely not of the same ilk. it seems. In my experience, most card collectors tend to have a little OCD in them, and usually like to keep things in certain order and in their proper place. A thread about a basketball card, one would think, would normally go in a basketball forum, not a baseball forum.

I merely wondered if the OP had sometthing else in mind in using the baseball card forum for this. The truly odd thing is you giving me grief about asking why!

I find it peculiar...that you found it odd...that John thought it strange..that you mentioned the fact...that Darren posted a basketball card in a baseball card forum.

...

I suddenly feel 35 years younger.

In all seriousness, I do understand the desire for everything to be in its proper place. For me, the most annoying example of an out-of-place post is when a 21st century card is listed for sale on the main page.

I've been sidelined by another surgery for awhile, so I had no idea that this thread caused such a hullabaloo for someone. The simple response is the post-war forum is basically a chatting area for all types of cards and memorabilia from the second half of the 20th century and onward...and I'm glad it is. A catch-all, if you will. Thought this was a funny sorta thread, and as John said, we are all of the same ilk, so this was the best place to post it.
