Yeah good point Mikhell, I’m sure all the flippers that are already here wouldn’t mind paying to get the info early as long as it keeps the profit coming in. But more than that I was also talking about the casual collectors that see something here and rush to post it elsewhere. I admit that it is a pretty good feeling to post a really good find but if you actually found it yourself and not just stole it from here, and again, if you’re part of this group and take it from here to post on you’re Reddit or twitter then you are diminishing the chances of a member getting it. I don’t know the solution and maybe there isn’t one, and probably not that big of a deal but it’s so aggravating to post something and see it show up elsewhere almost immediately. Just hope it makes you guys doing this feel like hero’s for posting stuff that the rest of us spend hours a day scouring the internet for. Your welcome

I'm sure there's a solution to this, we would have to brainstorm ideas for example:
*better process of validation during user sign-up - maybe sharing some private details with the admin
*access only after login
*Ghost/non-contributing users removed
I agree that we are often cheated out of the hard work we do in research so that others can purely benefit financially from that work.

Yeah I would honestly feel bad about the non contributing users being removed, I have plenty of time to search for stuff now but I used to be one of the people that just didn’t have time to search and relied on the forum to have any chance of catching anything.

The private group would be no charge. It’s an option if members want it. Like a private FB group.

We see many deals on here through Reddit, is that not a similar situation in reverse?

A lot of people are in paid Reddit groups and getting the info on blast notifications before it's ever posted here. So putting this community behind a paywall won't stop flippers. Most of them aren't getting their info here. Are there flippers here? I'm sure. But they're probably the more casual ones. The pro flippers aren't getting their info here most of the time.
So sadly, I think the best we can do is try to help each other. Flippers are inevitable and will find a way regardless of what people do to stop it. I mean look how many decades ticket scalping has been an issue.

Not saying it is, I’m just saying why do people feel compelled to immediately go post it elsewhere as soon as they see it posted on here, I don’t see the point and it just increases the chance of an autograph live member missing out. But there is no law against it so whatever.

ADMIN, Steve, you could try copyright infringement in this case. Report it to twitter.

Hello, I have never put anything on here before as I’m an old non-competent social media user. I have never posted anything anywhere but I feel I should thank everyone who contributes to our wonderful hobby. I’m 69 now and have been an autograph collector since I was 10. I have never sold any as they are all to be left to the IFAW in my will. So, thank you everyone.
