Should RallyPoint have a Sports Card topic group?

There are already many "hobby" groups on RallyPoint. Some are serious and some are more for fun. I noticed there is no Sports Card group. When I was young sports card collecting and trading was a favorite activity. Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey seemed to be the most popular sports cards. Personally I collected baseball cards and lost many of them in neighborhood competitions. After I had my own sons, I decided to restart collecting cards and see if any of my sons would catch the spark. There was mixed interest in sports cards among my sons as Pokemon and gaming cards took off. I still have sets from the late 1980's and throughout the 1990's. My favorite is 1960's Topps and I hope to get some more cards from the mid-sixties.

Yes I would join a sports card topic group and I would participate in the group discussions.

I have a Mark McGwire rookie card I want to unload for infield dirt cheap. No PEDs included.

I mainly collected baseball cards. At the peak of my collection, I had a few complete sets and one album dedicated solely to the Atlanta Braves. Now, I'm trying to rekindle my old hobby and put together a football card album for the Carolina Panthers. It's a work in progress, but I keep an eye out for card shows because that's where I do most of my dealings.

Speaking of card collecting, anyone here collect the Starting Lineup or McFarland sports figurines?
