5000 net54 Post Club Thread
 

Just like 500 homers and 3000 hits and 300 wins...there is the 5000 post net54 club...

Some day when i get there, I will get to rub elbows with the bnorths of the world and ulmandds, republicaninmass, peter S., clydepepper and the like...

i know its rare air to be in this company.

i hope i am worthy.....from this point on in the thread, the hope is only people with 5000 or more posts (or someone closing in on the record) on net54 to post their wise opinions on this thread and grab a drink ,

as with ichiro his march to 3000 was different than other 3000 hit players...many of his hits were singles aka 'nice card' and not doubles or homers (analysis of blank back/error cards)


welcome all (worthy members ) to the 5000 post club!

I would grab a drink with anyone on here.

I don't think I got many singles associated with my posts.:)

Like me or hate me I can guarantee I have never lied on this forum or screwed over a single member in what has to be close to 1000 transactions by now.

Have a great day everyone!:)

I'm not sure if the 5,000+ posts I have made are as 'noteworthy' as the others...just retired with too much time on my hands...and my rate has decreased since I lost the fire of collecting. (once you sell a Babe the writing's on the wall)

I do try to contribute from time to time but I usually bow to those higher up the hobby food chain than I - and there are lots of those.

I have enjoyed this forum...most fun since I quit playing.


.

well some people in the Hall of Fame are Babe Ruth and others are Harold Baines...

theres only 29 people that reached 4950 posts..yes its not a race and content means more than posts..but interesting that its just 29 people..

Like Mr Culpepper I am also retired and have been for some time. That accounts for many of my posts, I just have a ton of free time. I have averaged 2.39 posts a day.

5000 posts
 

There are currently 26 members who have exceeded 5000 posts. Here is the list.

https://www.net54baseball.com/memberlist.php?do=getall

Only 3 people with more than 10,000. Leon, Peter Spaeth, and RunScott.

right is rare air..and ahem..you are not among them...neither am i but a man can aspire..

Only 26? I figured it would be more.

didn't figure I'd be in that group either, but I guess being around a long time gets it done...

Maybe we should have a card set of our own? Sort of like the old Topps 1000 yard gainer inserts or something.

Fun thread so it was moved and I can pad my post count!

and a pic of the orginal Net54 guys....

The story behind that baby would be an interesting one I bet...

happy
 

posting everyone!
I need to post more:):o

It was ladies night out so he had the kid.

My money's on her taking the photo!

I don't have 5,000 posts so Leon can delete this - maybe the baby is Paul Waner?

hi leon picture made my day thank you

I had never really paid attention to my post count number. I have way fewer posts than I thought I would. That being said, if I actually posted every time I had a response written out I would probably be in the dubious 5,000 post club. I always ask myself Right before I click submit “am I really adding anything to this discussion or to the community by posting this” and probably 4 out of 5 times the answer is no so I delete it. :)

You don't have to have 5k posts just to talk about it. It's freaking baseball cards. :)

"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."

I limit myself strictly to informational, insightful posts that further our mutual understanding of the vintage cards we collect. Thusly, I have not attained 5k post status. When I do, the post will undoubtedly be as mutually beneficial as all my other posts.

Brian

To clarify, 5k means 5000.

Brian

And I really like cereal...I thank Post and their baseball card issues for that.

Brian

Please disregard my previous post...that's just the cereal talking.

Brian

Instead of editing the original post, I thought I would point out that the last sentence in the post I quoted above would probably read better if I had not left out the word "of". This sentence should read:

"When I do, the post will undoubtedly be as mutually beneficial as all OF my other posts." I think we can all agree how mutually beneficial this new post is.

Brian

maybe some day you can hang out here....but even guys like Tony Campana can always visit the Hall of Fame even though hes not a member...

I see BrianP just posted 5 times in a row...he wants to join this club bad......i just put 2 posts on 1 post........so my trek is slower..

ICWURD (are doing) T

Just means I'm old.

Is that Frank Burkett, back row ninth guy from the left?

LOL!

Of course one member's science will back that up. :D

The guy in the photo looks too young for it to be Frank. Frank would probably have been in his early 50's when this photo was taken.

Brian

Only 1,239 posts to go.

right and just like some players took 22+ years to get 3000 hits and others much less , im sure some posters took many more years than others to reach the famed 5000 post club..

for some its a career longetivity accomplishment, for others they just had many elite all star seasons to get to that number in a much faster way... the join date is our rookie year..

Don't these post counts start with the new site/forum from 2009 on? I seem to remember Archive had a lot from the old forum. I would not be worthy even if you added my old and new together but that's because I am a lowbrow. Might have to start a 500(I mean 800 :) )and under club. We can drag our knuckles together.

I've helped out with the post counts of other members with this topic. :rolleyes:

right that was the spitball era...the 5000 club does not include stats from the spitball era at this time.

Box of posts

Nope, many of us were around way before 2009. That's just the year we moved to the new forum. Our post count followed us.

those were the minor leagues ....not count as rookie card......plus the post count went back to zero in the new forum....so can go back to that rookie year to see how long it took to get the 5000...

OK. We have now reached a new milestone in the coronavirus shutdown. Rookie posts. :rolleyes:

I would like to acknowledge PWCC and PSA for your help in getting me over the hump. Without your questionable antics and shady business practices, I might be languishing around the 4,700 mark. The chat forum equivalent of "warning track power", or perhaps the "Fred McGriff" of net54.

Either that, or just an old fart with too much spare time :o

Lol

You forgot to thank the "show your pennants" thread. That's bad juju to forget something like that.

Geez. I'm only at the halfway point. I'm going to have to lay down some bunts with the infield back to get there I think.

I'm on the list. Is there a cash prize? How about a medal? Just a woo hoo would suffice. :D

Will we accept Kellogg's in lieu of Posts?

If collecting the set looks like we got 6 /26 of the 5000 post club on here thus far. Some of those 26 may not be active or not allowed to post here..

I will give you a HUGE WOO HOO. I have got some of my favorite oddball item from you.:)

Woo Hoo for now..... but great things are coming.... maybe Monday... :D

wreck it ralph would be happy about a medal

What better way to have my 5000th post in this elusive 5000 Post Club thread...
