T206 Threads

[ullmandds]

That'd be a pretty desolate place!

I'm with Phil on this one. There is no reason at all to prevent anyone from discussing T206, or asking any question they want about the set. That's what the board is for. But we don't need to start a new thread every time someone has a passing thought. Maybe if there were some way to consolidate the threads the main page would look a little cleaner. I think we've reached the tipping point where it is starting to bother the people who don't collect them. Maybe it would be a good time for someone to come up with a good alternative. I've said to Leon it might not be a bad idea to have a link at the top of the page called "net54 T206 headquarters", or something to that effect. I know many would prefer to leave things as is, but it's at least worth a discussion.

Welcome to the club. I'm in your boat over on the memorabilia side, where all the threads about autographs, and "look what I spent a zillion bucks on" have watered down the photo discussions so much that I gave up and no longer start photo threads over there.

The number of T206 threads is probably proportionate to the number of T206 collectors on this board - that makes complete sense to me, and seems both fair and reasonable.

I would like to personally thank Phil for starting this great T206 thread. My kids are both out of town, my girlfriend's packing for a move on Monday, and I'm bored out of my mind.

I might get out a squeaky toy.

Merry Christmas all.

I am always open to discussing changes concerning the board. As is always, I prefer no changes unless they are demonstrably for the better.

You know what I do when I see threads I'm not interested in? I don't click on them. Right now, I am real interested in T206s, but not at all in backs.

[Leon]

I am not a T206 (focused) collector but those frequent threads certainly don't bother me. As a few have said, their number corresponds to the amount of interest from our members. I think that is how forums are supposed to work? And it's not like there are so many new threads that you can't wade through them easily. Still it's not a bad discussion and I certainly understand the point made by the original poster. All in fun.... best regards

Maybe then it's up to the poster to use his discretion. If there is a thread about Drum backs and you have a question about Uzits, just piggyback on that thread. No need to start a new one. I agree with Scott that the number of threads are equal to the interest in the set, but one can still find a thread already in progress to post on.

[T206Collector]

If anyone cares, I have never collected T206 backs, and have grown quite bored of reading all the back threads. I would prefer more signed T206 threads!

Keep in mind, T206s are a gateway card. I dabble in all sorts of enjoyable cards I read about here, after I've come here for my '06 fix.
