Once I found this forum, the amount of vintage available to me opened up by 5000%. I had never even seen a T206 at any LCS I'd ever been too. There are too many to count on Net54. I really like it here because the possibilities are endless for learning and collecting.

I'm consistently amazed by the amount of vintage items that pop up here. I can't remember who posted it, but the other day someone was selling a 1914 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson card. Some of these items floor me. I really need to hit lotto or work a 2nd and 3rd job if I ever want to buy some of these wonderful pieces. Also to your point, you would think the NY metro area would have tons of placs to buy vintage cards, it's sadly quite the opposite. I'm looking forward to many more years on here.

I try to have that positive attitude as well Leon. And I think you're allowed to be a little bit biased
