I was thinking it would be very cool to have an images forum, especially for some of the rarer stuff that doesn't surface often. I suppose this could get very messy, but it could also be a great resource if care was taken with it by members.
I was thinking within the forum could be threads for sets. Of course, for earlier years, this works great! The vintage stuff typically only has base cards, so a thread for 1956 Topps images would be nice and neat. However, when you start looking at the stuff with inserts and parallels, etc., this might get messy.
There has to be a way to organize the modern stuff though that would allow us to have access to images. Think about a thread of just the images from stuff from Topps Sterling or Triple Threads or Exquisite that could be made and how amazing it would be to just be able to look at what you are interested in.
Of course, I'd want it to be a true image archives, so it would be important that they aren't just photobucket pictures that are imaged in and then will disappear when you the user erases the pic or the photobucket account. Perhaps setting a rule that the image would have to be added as an attachment such that a copy is uploaded directly to FCB servers where it resides forever unless admin removes it.
It's just an idea and I'm obviously open to input and suggestions from others about how to get this done. I'm also happy to be as involved in the process of upkeeping it and maintenence as admin may find helpful.
