+1 If I could have any card added to my collection, it would be the Collins proof, or maybe the Doyle. I know this sounds idiotic, but everyone has seen pictures of a Wagner. How many people know about these?

Personally

I think 75-100 "520" is low. Wouldn't be surprised it could actually be closer to 150. On the Monster Number thread, "we" have 57 at 500+. net54 is a great place, but "we" aren't the "end all" of collecting. How many collectors do not even know of net54, yet along do not wish to indulge their numbers ??!!

BTW, proof-wise, give me a Jax. player any day

Yeah certainly agree that our MN thread is a fraction of what's out there. I'm surprised at even the number of pre-war sellers on eBay I've spoken with that either don't know of Net54 or don't come here. More often than not, actually, when I message any, they usually are not over here.

That's not even to account for all of the older collectors that aren't online at all. There are certainly some 520 sets that are stored away. I'll say this - whatever the number of 520-card sets there are out there, I think the amount of collectors with 500+ cards is significantly higher. Probably double, as is the case in the MN thread. My guess is that a lot of people get stuck at 518 or 500 or so minus high-dollar cards like the Cobbs, etc.

I am fairly sure more collectors don't know about net54 than do.......now if we only count pre-war baseball card collectors who are on the internet it might be close.

Considering that our "monster number" thread only accounts for about 50,000 cards out of the 2 million or so surviving, net54 is a small sampling.

Well Sean if you owned a Wagner then you could buy the Collins

Likely not. KO isn't the type to sell or flip so you are waiting on him to kick and I have a feeling his collection will go in a museum. If not, however, it will be one he'll of an auction.

Steve it was a joke based off the price for each of them. If he had a Wagner he could sell it and then (theoretically) buy the Collins.
