Why Don’t We Have a Vintage Card Society?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Are any of the people proposing this (and this comes up every so often) willing to do the work that would be involved? Fund it? Get funding?

I am willing to do all of the legal work creating a nonprofit corporation, paying the fees for incorporation, and so forth. I also would be willing to do other work on the project. That would be relatively easy. But I realize the key would be bringing in a strong, diverse group of hobbyists to make anything meaningful happen, and there I am lacking in contacts and experience.

I wouldn’t join any club that would have me as a member.

Or to paraphase Groucho Marx, you could joint a club and hit someone over the head with it.

Marxism at its finest.

While I applaud the idea in general, I wonder what it could do to fight all the fraudulent practices in the marketplace. They won't be empowered, like the SEC, to go after the guys wearing black hats. They can't stop the alterers, the counterfeiters or the grading companies models. Now, if they had some legal authority that would be different.

And that is why net54 is already our society. All the experts are here. One way or another, it all comes to light here, good or bad. Far more on the spot than any pay-dues could ever be, and you are already a member.

A very generous offer Jeffery, this is the kind of project that would truly take a village.
