LOL, funny Leon. I actually agree as well. It seems like a number of guys that concentrate on the later issue sets to post-War have not heard about Net54. It seems as if the penetration to various collectors is skewed towards the earlier years (ie 1900's to perhaps 1920's). JMO

And with comments like this the auction house spoken about must be quite proud -

"Leon I skimmed through the auction - had I known this was going on I would have raised the bids by at least $1000 - their loss.. "


I am sure their consignors are joyous........

I would imagine the consignors are extremely distraught over the lost bids with stern words directed towards Greg for his lack of efforts. But what can you do….

I told my cousin's husband about it the last two times I saw him. He collects a lot, goes to shows too, but he only collects 60's and up. I see there is some good action on the post-war board and BST section for him. He never joined though, as far as I know.

drama queen .....what can you do, you ask? Stay the course, of course .

and to add, I am sure he does fine without Net54baseball......am not saying otherwise.

I am a nobody, but I am usually logged into Net54 on my blackberry, my kindle fire, my laptop, and my pc. Does this make me a "somebody"? (Or does it indicate that I need to get a real life?)

I seem to have replaced porn with photos of old baseball players. Yes, my life has gone downhill rapidly. That Titus guy is really cute!

A year ago, when my cousin asked for help about some Ruth press photos, I did not know anything about the darn things. Being out of collecting for about 25 years, I lost touch. I posted some on ebay discussion board and several collectors told me to go to Net54 and post there.
Not only did I get the best professional help one can get, I got hooked on this site and visit here 8 to 10 times a day. I never have collected pre war cards or photographs before, but press photos, I am now hooked on, to my wifes' delight............yea, wifes' delight,....... I know you guys were not believing that one.
As far as vintage sports photography, this is well known by collectors on ebay at the very least.
I have also recommended this site to many others.
Keep up the good work all.

I was shocked that the owner chasing the Goudey set didn't join. I am almost certain that some of you guys could have helped him with leads.
