Default welcome

Welcome wp (Slim),

You will fit right in with us. Some of us collect higher grade (not me usually) but most of us collect cards instead of slabs. (not that there is anything wrong with that). We are mostly a friendly bunch with a few in-family arguments as any family has.
Check out the overall site too...under the "community" tab there is a neat place to have a picture album as well as a members list etc...and we have a memorabilia section and a post-war section with other sports too, under each of the icons at top....Take care, happy collecting and welcome aboard. Enjoy your stay. If I can ever help just let me know!!

Hey Welcome! Reading stories and background information on deadball players in the T206 set is one of my favorite parts about collecting.

Welcome. And I like the look of your cards. Knowledge of Ames' wild pitches adds to your enjoyment of his card. I think that knowing about the people depicted on the cards one's collecting really adds to the enjoyment and appreciation. Much better, in my estimation, than focusing solely on a paper slip atop a slab.

Thanks everyone for the kind welcome

Already enjoying the board.

here is my Facebook gallery of the cards I have collected so far. I only have 13 of them but I only started collecting in November so don't judge too harshly.

welcome, There's nothing wrong with low condition cards. They have a lot of story and character to them. It's a great way to get started out, especially in a weak economy. It's best to stick to lower dollar stuff and do a lot of research fisrt when starting out so you dont get burned....Take it slow and be careful, it's addicting.

Default welcome to our board.

Hello and welcome to Net54.
I've been a collector, show promoter, store owner and involved in cards since the mid 70's. Now, net54 has emerged as the undisputed leader of our hobby!
You will fit in perfectly with us all.
It doesn't matter what you collect or what grade because our common bond is that we love to collect and share our hobby.
I love my low grade commons I get just as much as the rare and expensive stuff I have from years ago.
Enjoy the site, ask questions and remember that in my opinion, the finest group of people I have ever met are the members of net54. I'm proud to count myself among this fine group and I'm very happy that these members are my dear friends.
Enjoy and again, welcome to our site.
Bill Hedin
Framingham, Mass.
