Richard,
Have you ever been on
Beckett.com? They have a "My Collections" capability that
allows one to maintain a personal list on the site indicating which sports cards (or could be Britains figures) they have with a photo and accompanying data. One just has to search for the photos/items in their comprehensive database and add to ones personal list. This can then be kept private or made public if people want to sell them. A price or
Opie's rarity guide (the latter which doesn't change much) could be attached. Such a capability would be another way to get members regularly on the WBritain site.
Beckett also has a "Collectors' Tools" Section with a
Beckettpedia, which is written and maintained by collectors and experts worldwide. Why not a
"WBritainspedia"? Would be another way to get people on the site regularly, especially vintage collectors, who possibly could then be drawn into collecting the new figures.
Also they have
Collectors' Pages which allows members to build/edit their own page on the site listing contact information and collecting interests. Would be good for dealers and collectors.
What do you think?
