What about these forums really grinds your gears?

Not much really.

Sometimes I think people get overzealous about dog piling on "value threads" - yes, sometimes it isn't a pump thread, chill. The "go to eBay, search it" not really in the community spirit.

I also wish people were just more supportive of people's collecting ambitions. Its great to make money and see things get more valuable. But I love the team collectors, or the rookie card collectors or oddball focus some collectors have over any of that. Money's great, I'm here for the cardboard.

Yeah, this is a good one. The other day someone posted their Bad Ass Bledsoe PC, and someone asked "But, why" and made fun of it.

That stuff grinds my gears. Not everything has to be shiny and new for someone to collect anything.

If I saw someone with a vast, and well organized, acorn collection. I'd appreciate that for what it is, even though I don't care at all about collecting nuts.

Well said! Even if it’s not your jam, try not be a jerk to someone who put time and effort into something and wanted to share. We’re a community, let’s make it a great one.

Even worse are people who quote the giant photo. And even worse than that are people who quote a 20-picture card post and reply with something dumb, like "cool cards."

What I hate, but it also makes me laugh, is when someone posts a new thread, for something that was already talked about, but fell to page 2 so the OP didn't see it.

Everyone piles in with "Do we need another thread about this?"

Flip that, and someone really does their homework. Finds an old thread, that talks about the same thing they want to talk about. So, instead of creating a new thread, they bump the old one.

Everyone piles in with "Why did you have to bring this thread back from the dead?"
