What we had was useful, but could be better!
About 12 years ago we introduced "Player Notes" - which allowed members to share important information about a player to inform our community of collectors. Unfortunately it has been massively under utilized feature.

Previously, the only place you could see if a player had a "Note" for community or add notes was on player's profile page (shown on the left side in red box):
You could click on the link in the red box to then see a "Player Note" page and see some important information (like the details around the signing fees for Steve Carlton):
Enhancement #1 - New Icons

 Denotes the person requires a fee or donation to sign. You can click on the FEE icon next to their name to see details.
 Denotes the community has added info for this person. You can click on the NOTE icon next to their name to see details.

Hockey
Other Sports
Enhancement #3 - Categories for Notes and Fees
