Taking a poll to see if we want to allow B/S/T on the main memorabilia board. Give your reasons either way. |

I have to say...against. So little of the non-card memorabilia offered is of any interest to me. I would change my opinion if the quality/type of items offered were to improve. |

I would vote to leave the memorabilia B/S/T posts under the appropriate category in the B/S/T area. I'll give two reasons. First, although the memorabilia forum may not be super busy now, it has improved markedly over the past few months. If it keeps growing, it will soon have plenty of traffic without B/S/T posts. Second, I think it's cleaner to have all the forums (fora?!?) operating under the same rules. I will say that, regardless of the decision (whether by Dan or Leon), the memorabilia forum will be just fine. I don't see it as a make-or-break issue. |

I vote yes. Would love to see what other Board Members have to offer, and think that the increased posts would generate more interest on this side of the board. |

FWIW I wouldn't mind seeing a single B/S/T thread per month on this forum...I would stipulate that any item being listed in the thread be pre-1960 and that no negative comments will be allowed...if someone lists a price you don't like there's no need to comment. |

Dan- it seems to be working fine the way it is. I think hobby discussions and hobby sales should remain separate. I think this board will start to get very cluttered with "Looking to Buy and Sell" threads. |

It would only be 1 thread rotating for all of the BST...not numerous threads. Before your time on the main board it's the way ALL of the BST sales were done...One rotating thread.....When Brian and I took over we made it, it's own section. Can you imagine what the main board would be like if there were BST's on it today, with the amount there are? regards |

Yes, I should have mentioned that the one thread idea was used on the main board many years ago and worked very well. |

One last thing (yeah, that's what they all say!!) about the one thread idea on this forum. It would probably be 1 per month....I doubt if it would get to be more than 20-30 posts in total....and probably less....Like I say...you guys decide. I was only clarifying a bit...best regards |

I vote yes. There is very little traffic on this board. As Rob says, if junk starts showing up for sale, the board can change this. From the b/s/t on the memorabilia side, there is on average maybe one post a day. If you don't want to read it, you don't need to |

I would vote to have a separate thread each month, but given my experience with it, I would be clear which day of the month it starts as people will always try to jumpstart it. |

Dan, I would love to see a thread each month. It would bring back memories of the old BST thread from several years ago. I had quite a bit of success with the old system, as everyone saw everyones posts. The way the New BST works I myself have missed posts when they are in a category that I don't frequent and someone else posts right after the item I wnated and it gets buried. If it doesn't bear fruit we could always scrap the idea but it is worth a try to spice things up a little. I for one would probably frequent this side a bit more than once a day if we have a thread. |

It doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but I agree with Mark. This is supposed to be the memorabilia side of the "pre-war" side of the card forum. As such, what's posted should be pre-war (with a give or take to stuff that's a little later, fifties - early sixties? -but no modern stuff from the seventies on up). |

A bst thread is ok with me. I agree it should be vintage and mostly prewar. If we don't like it we can go back to the way it was. |
