I hear those who would like fewer so let me sincerely apologize in advance. In May I will post any glove that I think would be fit in nicely to most advanced collections, ones that I consider good purchases, gloves that I think are unique, and gloves with a lot of action. Unfortunately for some I will not wait until May, nor stop after May as I like talking about gloves more regularly, and Glove of the Month seems like the best spot for me to do it about ebay gloves (and supported by the poll and the lurkers I talk to). I hope I don’t step on any toes as my intentions are of assistance and glove promotion.
Another suggestion is a best of 2012 thread, which I think would be interesting especially with a voting mechanism at the end. I don't think you need to wait until the end of the year to start adding special gloves and talking about them. Maybe that was the original intent of Glove of the Month but I think it has evolved for the better, and a onesy/twosy glove of the month is boring. Heck, I'd be interested in a best value of 2012 thread as well (maybe even more so).
Speaking of polls, I say this next part not directed at anyone or any particular post. Really. I'd love to meet all of you in person and drink a beer with you (and even debate things), you are welcome to visit my collection anytime you are in the area, and I value each of your role and contributions to this rather unique hobby. I must say, though, that I don't give a rat's tail about what some think I should or shouldn’t post. I have certain thoughts on how to grow the hobby and a vested interest in doing so. I personally love all of the collecting subsets or lists that this hobby affords us, like team endorsers, off brands, all of a particular brand, HOFs, Moonlight Grahams, etc, and any new find for that person is special, regardless what others think. I don’t think the poll was directed at me or others who post regularly in that section, but it could be interpreted that way and could have the unintended consequence of limiting participation in that section or other sections in the forum.
Not mine, though, and I invite others to continue on and lurkers to come out and let your voices be heard. Lurkers let your voices be heard! It’s ok that you forgot your password … it can easily be reset. Reset that password!
