Most such questions are posted under Society and Culture, but I would love to see them in a category of their own.
Then, “Collectibles” would have several headings, for ‘sport’, ‘transportation, ‘antiques general’, ‘maritime’, ‘military’, ‘glass’, ‘coins’, etc.
I could see a problem with it generating classified ads, but that happens in other categories already.
Hint–hint. Y!A staff notices questions with stars..

Absolutely! What a grand idea!!
It would be good, except that to break it down into too many subcategories would not be so good. Keeping it general is a much better way.
Yes Collectibles such as antiques, military stuff, coins glass is a wonderful idea !!!
yes please i would love to join put my name to your lists i love antiques,collectables, memobillia etc uts so fascinating how a simple item when we we little becomes a collectable item.
Wow! That is a great idea! Can’t believe it hasn’t been done before, but that’s how these things evolve, I guess. YES!
Thanks aready have, I collect mini’, everything small, go to
flea markets, sales. Nothing new. I use old ink holders ,
put on wall, mini’s in. Cool
I think this is a great idea, especially if there is a demand for such a catagory. I would suggest in regards to breaking down catagories, perhaps we could use a well known catagory structure like Ebay. But until we have a trial run of Q&A’s, it could remain a little more general. The questions that are asked can be periodically looked at and used to develop more specific catagories.
Yes I would, and so what do we do to get it on here.
email Yahoo, or set it up ourselves…
let me know
I like the idea alot. IF there was enough knowledgeable and decent appraisers as well as other comments. I would hate it having quotes or indentity all over the map if I really wanted to know what I had. I know that I would have it professionally appraised before I did anything, but what would be more dissapointing to think you had a great collectable or antique from YA standards then to go pay to have an appraisal and its junk.
Yes, I would: especially one where antique automobiles could be referenced.
I don’t know though, because I’ve been a member since September of last year; and have posted three different question regarding 1951 Packard Patrician 400′s, one of which I use to own: and only got one response, to one question.
Anyhow, I think it might be a good idea; and I wish you luck in achieving such a category, but realistically, wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Absolutely yes, it would be a great idea.
Yes, i think that is a great idea.
Yes. I enjoy viewing, Antiques Roadshow, on PBS.
Yes – do you think there could be a category for fountain pens? mechanical watches? Chase ware??
Good Morning Chetco!
Although I’m not into antique/collectibles….I do agree, in that I too would like to see a few more specific categories on YA.
There’s but one category for cycling which at this time covers all two-wheeled, human powered transport: mountain biking, commuting, road cycling, racing, recumbents, tandems, etc. I would LOVE to see more categories in cycling…. seeing as I enjoy being a roadie…. and that’s it.
Excellent topic! Thank you!
I think it is a great idea, hint, hint, hint, I would like to give a star, but in all honesty I can’t when someone asks, I did the same thing once, I felt inside it was not right to do so, but if others do for you that’s o.k., but I do agree with you.
Wow, I am kind of surprised they don’t already have one, since it would be quite useful and well-visited! Can we make a request for one?
I think they should consolidate all the categories into two.
Dumb and dumber.
I would absoluetly love that! i really wish that everything would be more organized.
Good Luck!!!
Yes please great idea…
