Of course, we'd need to invent some type of newfangled advanced statistic to use as the only measuring stick to gauge whether or not a member belongs in 'The Hall.'

Perhaps KAR ("Knowledge Above Replacement")? Beep beep!!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Oh God. The sports card YouTube influencer-types also talked about creating their own "Hall of Fame." It's like a disease: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8beQvyH0744

No, I feel very distasteful and the metrics used to decide would ultimately be most subjective I feel. It's a great board as it stands with many good contributors and should be left at that, IMHO.

Default Metrics?

What I envisioned would by definition be very subjective. It would not be about "metrics", number of posts, size of your collection, value of your collection - none of that would matter.

What Darren wrote is more what I had in mind. How much has a member contributed through this board to the knowledge base in the hobby. Assisted other collectors, etc.

Someone would get selected as the committee/Leon/some other selector process saw fit, could be on an irregular basis as someone was found who merited it.

To me the way Ted unselfishly shared so much information and research defines what I am thinking about qualification.

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.
