Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>I was doing a google search, looking for a good New York restaurant? Actually, a few years ago, someone directed me to this forum. It seems an Ebay item that I had listed was a topic of a thread. It seems that I had an unrealistic BIN on it. Since then, I read this forum nearly every day.

Posted By: <b>John H.</b><p>I also collect Sports board games so I saw a reference to this forum during the investigation of the mystery of the Billy Owen Fan Craze card on the Yahoo Baseball Games group. <br /><br />Anybody else here play APBA, Strat-O-Matic or any other baseball board game? Playing these games fit nicely with collecting old baseball cards and a fascination with the history of the sport.<br /><br />John

Posted By: <b>NetJr</b><p>When cardtarget.com started selling partial shares of vintage and rare cards there were references to this forums. It started with references to discussions on broadleaf 460's which cardtarget.com has 3 of and on a few other cards they sold shares in. Those references lead me here; there program has caused me to look at vintage cards I never would have in the past.

Posted By: <b>AndyH</b><p>I was just getting into the whole message board thing over at the beckett boards a few years ago. The vintage participation over there is minimal and the prewar is basically non-existant. One day someone on those boards asked if there was a better place to talk about old cards and someone replied with a link to N54. I checked it out and was hooked immediately. I've been a regular-lurker-sometimes-poster ever since. <br /><br />Thanks to all who share their knowledge and collections. You make the hobby more fun for me and I'm sure for others as well.

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>I inherited a partial T206 collection almost three years ago. I wanted to know more about these, and started getting hits on N54 threads on google. Came here, learned much more here than anywhere else.<br /><br />My first actual purchase was Feb 2006. I started with commons and didn't go after the more valuable cards until I had experience with fronts, backs, ebay, grading, trimming, etc. Common topics here. I still made mistakes, but not as bad as I could have. I have now completed the set minus 6: Wagner, Plank, Doyle, Magie, and the two St Louis rarities. Never have sold a card.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>You were in the right ballpark, and John was always sharp. My favorite: about 1963 the Beatles were interviewed and asked what instruments they played. After George said he played the guitar, John replied: "I too play the guitar...and sometimes I play the fool."
