Net54 Poet's Corner
Feel free to add your card related poetry here. And let me know if I should chuck it all and pursue the lucrative career of the professional poet.
Roses are red Violets are purple This poem is an example of when cards turn brains mushy like that of a nurple Brian (Soylent Purple is nurple!) |

There once was a man from Nantucket
Played 500 games in the Major Leagues Never saw himself on cardboard, despite his need for speed Finally got a Conlon after he kicked the bucket. |

There once was a Group called Net54.
Who dreamed of old baseball cards galore. Their card knowledge was great. Except when it turned to hate. And called each other a whore. |

ode to TPG
For cards I admittedly get spastic
For images rare and fantastic But Ill be damned if Im paying For some 18 year old saying "Its a 3" then heat sealing the plastic. An Old Timer |

Mathewson, Clemente and Mays,
Collecting your cards I spend days, I search high and low, Attending card shows, I don't think this is just a phase. |

Jiggs Donahue
When in your vaunted pride you hear
The roaring welcome of the stands, The unleashed hero-tinted cheer, The echo of applauding hands, Lift up your head above all men – Think how these thousand worship you – Go to it – eat it – pal – and then Remember Donahue When headlines on the Printed Page Rate you the Ruler of the Field – The war god of a golden age That reels before your lance and shield – Take in the boost of voice and pen, Say, “Here at last, I’ve drawn my due” – Swell with the thrill of it – and then Remember Donahue What is there left to curb you now? The world is at your steel shod feet, The laurel grips your clammy brow Where no man comes who might compete: So lift your beaker up again, Nor turn to Time’s remorseless cue – Here’s how – Cobb, Matty, Walsh – and then Drink one to Donahue. — Grantland Rice, “Donahue Eulogy” |

In the digital realm where history's embrace,
Lies a forum, a gathering, a collector's base. Net54baseball, where memories are traced, A place where the past and present are interlaced. With threads woven from the fabric of the game, Where enthusiasts, their passions aflame, Discuss, trade, and cherish without aim, The cards and legends that brought baseball fame. From T206s to modern day feats, Each post, a story, where time retreats. A community bound by wins and defeats, Sharing tales as their heart beats. Here, knowledge is a treasure, shared and sought, Of rare finds and auctions, battles fought. In this digital haven, time is naught, For each card, a piece of history bought. Amidst the chatter and the lively debates, The essence of baseball, this forum celebrates. A digital diamond where fate allocates, Friendships and finds, that destiny creates. So here's to Net54baseball, a unique space, Where the love for the game finds its rightful place. Through pixels and posts, collectors embrace, The timeless allure of the baseball chase.

-1909-
An intense young man approaches the plate. The restless crowd awaits… Anticipation on their faces. "How will this young man rate?". A hit to the gap for extra bases. "That's Ty Cobb, soon to be Great". - Last edited by Casey2296; 02-16-2024 at 07:03 PM. |

Here is my bitterness in couplets entry...
The Acrimony of the Unchecked Box (or Ode on a Completion Burn) while school was out in the scorching summer of ‘75, by the day I was feeling more dead than alive, because a mustachioed Texas hurler by the name of Steve, made my brothers and I bitterly grieve, for no matter how many times we trodded over the melting asphalt, that damn drugstore had no packs containing the last card we needed, Foucalt!!! I scream to the dark heavens bursting with drops, why must you always rain on my collecting parade, Topps!!!!!!!!!!!

Back in the '50's, when I was a young "snapper",
I bought Topps & Bowman and threw away the wrapper. I kept the cards & the gum, the latter to chew, and the cards went into a box--I never "threw"! My teeth rotted away & today I have none, but I always enjoyed just chewing the gum! The cards I still had until recent days when I sent most out to auction @ REA's! I got a good price from "1-penny" cards, but letting them go remains very hard. The moral of the story: If you have a collection-- don't sell them off w/out thorough reflection!
