Yes, you went to the restroom and missed the change. Not.

No, they should be in their own section BUT, if you read the rules (very, very few do) then you would know some off topics are permitted. Admittedly, there have been too many recently and some will be moved. If folks would start pre war threads, and other threads, in their correct sections, it would help. ALso, if a topic tangentially can relate to prewar, many times it is left on the front page.

Here is a pre war card.. A w575-1 Clark's Bread card..

Here’s another guy who didn’t always follow the rules…

I'd like to say "thank you" for being a little lenient on this.
I love this board and the community but I am not a pre war collector. The post war forums are crickets. The main page is where its at. I have learned a great deal about pre war cards and appreciate them but I truly love the threads about Mantle and Mays and Jackie etc. Thank you

I’ll second the gratitude for a little compassion towards us postwar collectors. Not sure if we’re all too lazy to click over the postwar side, or if there really are so few of us that collect postwar. But either way, all of the cool kids and all of the action seems to be on the main page, and we enjoy not having to sit at the kid table sometimes.

Well put, postwar is significant, one of the most beautiful cards ever produced are the 51 Bowman Mays and Mantle imo, but it gets a little confusing when you combine a Billy Ripken FU with a Lou Gertenrich back in the same group.

On a funny note. As someone who has owned and sold some silly rare Bill Ripken cards. If that card actually existed it would be worth the same as a low grade 51 Bowman Mays.

No, I get that Ben and follow your collection in the post war section and its awesome, I just think it's confusing overall, but I'm a rules guy. makes my life easier when I cam compartmentalize.

I'd throw my hat into that ring as well. I've often found myself not even bothering to create posts because they technically don't meet the "pre-war" requirements, but they're not worth my time to post in post-war because all the action is on the main page. There just isn't enough traffic to split everything up IMO. I would vote to combine it all into one if voting were an option. I think it would increase overall engagement.

Grumpy old man here. Check out the Goudey thread I recently posted on the main board...and stay off my vintage lawn with your darn Air Jordache sneakers!

I collect 1880-1980, the typical “vintage years”. Thr pre-war board is where I spend the majority of my time, unless I’m discussing particular offshoots, like pinbacks, pennants, etc.

I enjoy the leniency and the ability to read about T206’s and 1964 Topps and whatever else falls into the thread.

Generally speaking, the curator of a zoo is going to have the best displays of things they are most interested in. The curator of this zoo specializes in pre-war baseball cards. That is what the main focus is and always has been, on Net54baseball. The sections won't be changing soon unless there is an overwhelming reason.

Agree, plus I love all the discussion the main page.
