Sounds like a winner to me. We can slowly backfill the older groups with
interesting tidbits. This would be a great place to share things like minor
set variations (I just noticed for example that the 6270 baseplate comes in
two versions, one is a blue plate the other is grey [painted blue first,
then the island pattern] - of course I don't know whether that was a year to
year change).
