Mahdi, ideally the database could serve both purposes. However, I believe it has more potential as a place to search for missing pieces. We all have more holes in our award groups than awards which we know to have been stolen, but being able to alert the collecting community to a recently stolen item might prove useful.
We would have to come to a consensus regarding the format in which we enter the data. If I've got a missing Red Star number 1XXXXXX, what subject do I post under..how do I format the message body so when I'm looking for a missing award, I don't have to wade through a message body looking for the number? this would probably be a good task for a moderator to keep the database neat and tidy..any volunteers?
Munroe, it wouldn't be complex to start and there is no additional cost. I am only concerned on how much use we will actually get out of it. Let's hear from other members out there..
