good question
I always assumed it referred to any cards issued between the 1887 kalamazoo bats and 1941 (WW2). Any card issued over that 54 year stretch was considered pre-war.
That was just my assumption, I am interested in knowing the actual reason. Andy

54 = the Net average age of board members. Thankfully Frank and Waz joined around the same time and kept things in line....

Maybe 54 is the average amount of days PSA takes to grade a 10 day submission

Originally named Net55 for the 55 people who owned an ungraded T206 Honus Wagner card. Then somebody got their card graded a PSA 8, they were kicked out and the site was renamed Net54

Few know that Net 54 was the initial online dating site.
Inspired by the Marvelettes' hit single "Beechwood 45789" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucu83CZKeGg The 5***4 portion of the title is based on encryption of that song title. Vintage cards were introduced to the site by a gal named Lola in an effort to get lucky with a member known only as leon. Interestingly this is the same encryption methodology used by Ebay today.

The original 54 members were all voiced by the same fella. A guest at Bellevue, his Internet access was part of his Occupational Therapy.

54 was Elliot's age when he founded the forum upon the demise of John Spencer's Full Count forum, and also the number of bottles of single malt Macallan he needed to help him recover from a years worth of moderator duties.
