I did not know there was a post-1980 section. Thats a little closer to my speed. |

Agree with Al. A lot of hobby vets like to bash the newer stuff, but in the end all they sound like are a bunch of grumpy old men. Collect what you like and make no apologies about it. I remember in the 1980s when dealers would carry old stuff, current issues and everything in between. I'm grateful for 1980's baseball cards, they helped me fall in love with the hobby as a youth. |

Welcome aboard. I have only been into pre-war for just under a year. Before that, I collected modern for 17 years, mainly Ken Griffey Jr. I still have some modern cards in my collection, and also do a lot with prospect cards from bowman chrome and bowman draft. I have just gotten bored with modern over the past year or so, and refocused my purchases on pre-war. |

Hi Mark, welcome to the board. I was glad to read that you collect modern. Less bidding competition, just joking. Every now & then I also buy cards from the 70's. Those were the years that I collected when I was a boy. I still have those cards & sometimes I replace them with a nicer version. If there is anything that I can help you with, let me know. |

One of the better things about sport cards is the ability to collect so many different (focused) collections. The worst thing that could ever happen is that we all tried to collect the same 2-3 cards out of each set (which sounds a lot like collecting in the late 80's). |

I have to admit that i'm a grumpy old man, given the aforementioned definition |

Even though I asked you to stop nagging on the situation with Matt in another thread just now I do welcome you to our board. It's a great place to learn about pre-war cards and we even have a memorabilia forum and a post-war sportscard side of the forum too. I will help you anyway I can. I want everyone to get along in a friendly fashion and feel comfortable posting while not worrying about being ridiculed when doing so. You will see some small arguments and bickering but we really try to keep it to a minimum. Take care and enjoy....and most of all welcome to Net54..... |

Thanks for your note Leon. I do think your e-mail was a little strong in the sense that I stop nagging, which almost sounds like I have been nagging Matt.(It was friendly worded though). I have not been a part of these discussions here and pretty much avoid it over the CU board. I did post over there this morning and if you check I got onto Pete about continually confronting Matt. My response to Matt on these boards was because of his generalization, which included me as I am a CU board poster. These are your boards and I will not mention Matt or the Ruth card or like again on these boards. Perhaps you could ask Matt not to make generalized statements about CU posters as that is what spawned my response. |

I think that is a fair request but I usually take generalizations with a grain of salt. When the generalations get more specific then they have more meat to them, imo. I have seen this board trashed a thousand times. No matter what you do you will never make everyone happy. Take care now... |

I don't envy Leon one bit, running this place must be quite frustrating on occasion. Thanks for the forum. |
