Where is the 1975 mini thread?

Don't tell me that the turd in the punch bowl got it removed...

Mike,
It was only a matter of time before that bird guy did the damage. Ridiculous for such an informative thread

MiniDuff

Only ridiculous if it isnt returned minus the offensive posts and poster.

MiniMaster

I sure hope the thread is reinstated minus the negative remarks. Deleting the entire thread would be wrong. Considering it is one of the most popular threads on the PSA Registry Forum.

It's sort of like when I was a kid and I was playing in the sandbox and having a great time and some jerky kid would come along and topple my masterpiece.

So an irresponsable few can get a very popular thread taken down? Sorry, but I don't buy it. There is more to this story than a few bad eggs making negative comments! Let the conspiracy theories role

Well, the latest is that the number of registered mini sets is down to 58, and another mini related thread that was all of a few hours old disappeared about 0730 eastern this morning. It's been a strange last 24 hours in mini land.

Henri's sets are gone........

Removing the original thread is like burning down a library. Just think of all the useful information (both good and bad) about the 1975 Topps Mini Set that just went POOF!

I too am sad to see this thread disappear, I would think when a thread gets this big the decent thing to do would be to just delete the "offensive" replies.

And the final insult to these great collectors is now complete...

MiniDuff

Some of the rarest cards to be seen in a long while pass tonight and no thread to sit and chat about it with...kinda sad.. and wrong.

WTF??? I'm not a collector of Minis, but I certainly enjoyed poking my head in that thread and I know there was many years of important information in there. I completely missed why it was poofed, but the fact that it was poofed is an enormous travesty. I usually back a mod's decision to poof a thread, but this is COMPLETELY unjustified and flat out ridiculous to such a well-established and highly informative thread. There is NO REASON why this thread had to be completely removed instead of deleting the problem posts. If I had skin in this game, I would be calling Mr. Joe.

twiley

WOW so what does this mean? Any alt/kid can come in and ruin a thread and have it easily poofed? I guess the alts have won...

packCollector

someone should talk to carol at the national and hopefully get this resolved. if not unfortunately it is time to move on and start another thread. maybe a couple of the heavy hitters can start it with a nice summary of the set

TheVon

I am deeply saddened by this. It really is like losing a library.

The decision to just erase that thread like it never happened only serves to erase my interest in PSA's forums. Why invest so many years discussing things with people, sharing information with collectors, having good conversation with fellow enthusiasts, and posting pictures or our treasures if one jackanapes can come on the boards and get the whole thing destroyed?

MiniMaster

I'm still hopeful that PSA will simply review the thread and remove the inappropriate remarks and reinstate the thread. There are so many scans of remarkable examples of 75 Topps mini's. So many passionate statements that reveal so much information about this wonderful set of cards. It is evident that many posters tried to tame the out of control comments posted on the thread. The thread is 6 years in the making! Why wouldn't PSA want that thread to continue less the negative remarks? It appears to be the 3rd longest running thread on the forum! It's a tribute to the success of the fourm!

I for one feel the freedom of speach is a pretty darn good thing in America! The scene in "Field of Dreams" comes to mind..... when Ray's wife gets into it with one of the locals at a town meeting The person(s) responsible for taking the 75 Topps Mini thread off the forum should watch the scene I'm referring to and reconsider what they've done here!

jeffcbay

Has anyone approached Carol about this yet? Even if they wanted to, I wonder if they have the ability to bring that thread back. Is it even backed up?

MiniMaster

I have communicated with Joe O. and their plan is to remove the questionable remarks and reinstate the thread at a later date. They hope to have this completed in a reasonable time frame.

TheVon

Thanks, MM. That will be the ideal solution if it happens.

aconte

This is great news! Thanks MM.

Looks like that never happened!?

Darin

Even the 'official where is the 1975 mini thread?' gets more love than the 'official standard size 1975 thread'.

MiniMaster

I'm still hanging onto that "MY WORD IS STRONGER THAN OAK" thing? I believe we should be able to trust the leader of PSA?

Joe O. say it ain't so! Tell us PSA hasn't voided over 3,000 entries representing one of the longest running threads in the PSA Message Board's History!

WE HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY! WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH!

BRING BACK OUR 1975 TOPPS MINI THREAD PLEASE!

MiniMaster

If at first you don't succeed, try try try again!

Hallco

<< <i>If at first you don't succeed, try try try again! >>



Tomorrow morning I am starting a thread asking Joe O about this. I'm going to specifically name him in the thread title! Maybe that will get the attention of someone at PSA?! Or at worst.....maybe get me banned from this forum!!!

Indy78

I hope if it happens, they combine the "new" mini thread with the old one. There's almost 400 posts in the new thread.
