NONSPORTS AND SPORTS CARDS

Nonsports cards and sports cards should have a separate catagory.
I collect both but as I have gotten older I have gotten more into nonsports cards. Looking through the discussions I see too much of cards I have no or little interest in. When I am looking for nonsports I do not enjoy spending time going through sports cards.

    I mean this with all due respect, but is PSA supposed to change the way they run this place based on the opinion of somebody with 6 posts here?

    The categories used to be separate, years ago. There were vague situations, like WWF/WWE cards and no consensus on whether those were sports or non sports. Additionally, there can be overlap. Topps Look n See featured athletes and non athletes for instance. I built the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set and a couple of the cards show him as a fighter pilot. In which of your forums should I post those cards? It’s not a cut and dry separation.

    If it works for everyone then it should be changed.

    It didn’t then and it doesn’t now, for many reasons, including those I listed above.

    I understand your point. Those examples you listed sound like common sense but you know to che

    That is common sense, and yes you could find some in both subjects. I collected sports cards since I was about 5yrs old and collected very very little of nosports during my childhood. Now that I am in my 60's I have been collecting more nonsports. I had no idea the amount of different nonsports cards that are out there. Combine the 2 together and wow.
