Football Forum?

Specifically, I'm looking for information on equipment, not cards. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be most appreciative.

CatsPJ's,
I've done plenty of football posts on here and I don't recall anyone ever throwing tomatoes...I'd recommend putting the word football in the subject...then baseball purists just won't click on it to be bothered....Actually, it seems baseball only collectors usualy find some football stuff interesting...they just only spend their money on baseball.

I think any vintage sports memorabilia is fine..and even some non-vintage like the modern game used stuff is okay too, but I'd rather the focus stay on vintage which IMO is pre-1980. All sports are welcome as far as I am concerned.

In the end I am going to let Dan make the final call on this. I did have a private email suggestion of a separate autograph forum? I am not sure there is enough activity for that but thought I would throw it out. I will even look at changing some forum titles, or adding a forum if it is warranted, to better fit the new foci (I made that word up) . So far it looks like all vintage with leniency for newer memorabilia too. I am not sure why we wouldn't always want to make the place better? Thanks for all who have chimed in so far and thanks for Dan keeping this side cool..Keep the thoughts coming.....regards

I remember when I was new to this forum, maybe I still am, sending an PM to someone and getting talked down to when suggesting such an idea. If I remember correctly "you" said there is a football and other sports section and implied I should try using it before making suggestions. I think there are A LOT of people that collect many other sports than just baseball looking to talk to others about vintage memorabilia from other sports. Just because this is mainly a pre WW 2 card forum doesn't mean it cannot be made better by serving other with more varied interests. Or, maybe I should just go lay by my dish.

In looking back at your earlier posts I see you like to be a bit confrontational. And if we continue this discussion I will ask you to put your name in your post. As for football, I should have made reference to football cards, if we had a discussion about it, but if it was football memorabilia, then I have decided to let the forum members and Dan make that call. thanks

My name is Jason Hughes and I am from Minneapolis. I have been buying and selling sports memorabilia for over 20 years. All I am stating is that I sent you an email regarding this exact topic and you were not very nice about. You were the one that was confrontational replying as if I was taking a shot at your site. I was kind enough to send my original email as a private message only as a suggestion. I just find it ironic that the same question is now asked by people you respect more and the tone is much different. I enjoy reading the varied posts from many different people with their varied expertise on great topics. I am not here looking for acceptance, only interesting reading.
