    Re: Poll: Upgrading The Forum

    1. Just wanted to confirm that "Items Wanted" will still be confined to game used items and not a combo of game used and other memorabilia.

    2. I think there needs to be consideration of whether members should be limited in the number of threads / updates / refreshes for both the For Sale and Wanted sections. Perhaps once per week. At least for the Wanted section.

    3. In the Wanted section, members should not be allowed to start new threads for each individual item sought. Not sure if this idea should, at this stage, strictly be extended to the For Sale section, but members should be encouraged to combine For Sale ads, with mods having the authority to edit if/when someone starts too many threads at one time.

    4. Perhaps, in addition to the proposed discussion section for non-game worn memorabilia, there should be a For Sale section for such items as well. Taking it a step futher, perhaps also a corresponding Items Wanted Section.

      please do not get rid of the current auction items section. it is a great tool to find items we may have missed or ask questions about a item. just my 2 cents great forum.

      I also think we need a feedback forum about good deal or good trades to be able to praise the great dealers or collectors we have dealt with.

        Good thoughts.

        I think the current auction discussions could take place within these specific folders
        1. Game Used Jersey Discussions
        2. Game Used Bat Discussions

        4. All Other Game Used Items Discussions
        7. Vintage Memorabilia Discussions
        8. All Other Sports Collectibles
        Always looking for game used San Diego Chargers items...

          i think a seperate secetion for auctions is a must. lumping them in with other catagories will make it a mess. Maybe there could be a auction alert section for each field such as bats, jerseys other. This way it allows everyone the chance to focus on their intrest and does not make the other sections have so many post it is hard to go thru all of them.

          Also i think it would be helpful to have a jersey photo data base, roken down team by team. For example

          Braves Jerseys: with photos of tagging, lettering and numbers sizes and styles. this way it becomes a one stop resource center for all collectors to get an idea of what a true game worn jersey should look like i would be happy to lend the site my red sox jersey collection photos.

          Feedback forum would be great. I have been on for only about a few months but in that time i have made 3 great deals and would like to be able to thank the people who helped to build my collection.

            i agree with keeping the current auctions section, too. even if it's something I don't collect, i like to see what is being viewed and discussed.

              The Current Auction Items is the 2nd most popular section of this forum.

                Chris and Eric,
                I'd like to commend both of you for creating this forum (Eric), and making it work as a voice for the hobby. I'd like to suggest an addition to a forum called " What's it Worth?" Here forum members could post and show their memorabilia etc. and have our forum members guesstimate what the value of the item is. As a collector myself, I have numerous memorabilia that I'm interested to see if there is a $$ value to it. This will sorta be like the Antique Roadshow but an online version of it.

                Let me know what you all think.
                Thanks
                Gerald

                  I could tell you how I'd answer every post:

                  "To some the item is priceless, to most others it is worthless"

                    Joel,
                    I feel stupid now that I read your comment. You're totally right. Ok scratch that idea.

                    Thanks again,
                    Gerald

                      Gerald-Not so fast on scratching the idea of a post,"What's it worth". Professional TV producers from the YES network thinks it's a good idea for them(They already have the segment on Steiner's show) why not for us? Were not all knowing when it comes to some of the stuff we collect. Some of the items I have I don't have a real good idea of what's it worth,let alone the current value, for example:a slice of 12 inch bat barrel from both biggio and Caminiti's G/U bat-the portions w/name engraved-remnants from Pacific Trading Cards not used in G/U cards -or-the cap worn by Dave Mlicki when he shutout the Yanks in the their first interleague meeting). I think it's a good idea.

                        Could we have an AUTOGRAPH SECTION ADDED?
