Bob, then what you are expressing is an opinion as fact.
You are calling something a precedent. If you claiming it as fact: "This is here, so this is a precedent for adding these types of items."
The fact is: They are not here correctly. They get removed. Stop with the dang 4 years too late stuff. If it's on here incorrectly, it is supposed to be removed. What do you NOT get about that????
I know, I know, you LIKE these things, so you won't report it. Fine. Be that way. And it's NOT a gray area. The guidelines are VERY clear. Is a trading card? Yes, list it. No, was it inserted in a card product? Yes, list it. No, was it made by a card maker? Yes, list it. No, is it ackowledged by PSA (or other esteemed graders)? Yes, list it. No, it cannot be listed. Pretty simple. No GRAY.
And here we are - someone asked about where these would go - they've been told that they DON'T go on here - but here YOU are again, inserting yourself and your opinions that are contrary to the database about trying to get disallowed items listed - AGAIN. And AGAIN. You are truly bordering on troll-like activities that are against Forum rules. You don't add anything constructive to the conversation, you just keep bringing up the same crap, post after post after post. When I see that you've responded, I know exactly what the post is going to say.
You are not being warned for having an opinion. You are being warned for continually promoting others to go against the rules of the database, and for trolling the forums. Please stop.
And again, I will reiterate regarding the item this thread was originally about - they are not cards, they were not inserted into a card product, they were not made by a card company, and they are not graded or recognized by PSA, therefore, they do NOT meet the guidelines of the database, and are not to be included.
They MAY be nice collectibles, but so are my soda cans, and SGA towels, and Slurpee cups, and my team license plates, etc. All very nice, but they don't belong on the TRADING CARD database.
