I've been curious so seems like a place to ask.. What's the origin of the net54 name? Was it a 54 Topps board? Or started by a Gene Schott fan? Or something else altogether?

I Mention'd that the E90-1 and E95 Both Have the Same Papar Stock! And THaT E90-1's Nevar Fray at the Ends Like this E90-1 Has... So We Disagree! I've Been Handling E90-1's & E95's fir the Last 4 years ... Diligently! And I Always Start with The Papar Stock... Okay... There's my BeginiN Reason Why I Think the Cards are Fake! So, Tell Us Why You Think There Real!? You Didn't Give any Reason(s) fir their Authenticity ... Just Boast'd THaT They Are Real! And Just ta Note... You Didn't Call me Out ;) |
The board used to be hosted by Network54.com .. This name is a derivative of that...

I think some people perhaps are misinterpreting the OP's comments. I don't think he, or the others that agree with him, are saying that these threads and discussions are bad or not interesting. I think they are just commenting that they don't belong in the section of the board where Pre War card discussions go. The board has sections so that there some organization and grouping of like subjects. This allows people who are looking for a certain topic to know where they are likely to find that topic being discussed. I collect Lou Gehrig memorabilia and autographs and have no real interest in reading about 1948 Bowman or 1941 PlayBall, so am glad there is a memorabilia/auto section. I appreciate that I don't have to wade through posts that have no real interest to me. I know it wouldn't take a long time, but it's still nice to not have to do so.
Say RIP to Prince or other famous people who influenced our society in one way or another is definitely reasonable, but shouldn't it be in the Off Topic section? He was not a baseball player from before WW2. Not sure why it's so wrong to put the RIP thread in the correct place. I appreciate Leon's looser style of governance, but can also understand that some might feel the balance of posts shifting and wish it weren't. |
Who cares? If you want to read a topic read it if you don't don't. Not like moving a bunch of stuff off the main page is going to produce any more pre-war posts.

I always thought Pre-War referred to pre-WWI. The war to end all wars. How did that work out?

I'm sorry, I felt this thread could use a couple more cards right about now. :)
Chive on! |

I can't even seem to get away from whining on sports cards message boards. <sigh>
First off, if you click on "Net54Baseball Homepage," it brings you to this forum. That pretty much assures that you will see random posts. I have posted a thread in this forum that isn't "Pre War Baseball" and will continue to post in that thread. I'm not sorry about it at all. There wasn't a natural place for it. I posted it in this forum. It's gotten comments. I'm sorry you are being inconvenienced. The world isn't all unicorns and fields of daisies. |
I always thought prewar meant before the next war. They come so quickly.

Nice T5's, Ed...Here's a Playball card which is obviously not pre WWII, but is in the spirit of this section...

What`s the line from Stripes, you know, when Sgt. Hulka turns towards "psycho" and gives him his take ?

I was equally surprised by the number of people convinced the card was fake. To me that was people making a decision about the cards based on a zero feedback seller and shoddy grammar in the listing. The photos of the cards was not ideal either but I don't think there were any red flags about authenticity. |

That being said, while I don't really care, it would better to see threads kept in the right forum. Some topics however, even off topic, have a place in the "home" forum for all to see and share comments. |
Wwii
If we are talking about pre WWII, do we mean when America entered the war in December of 1941 or when Hitler first got things started in Europe in the late 30's?
And if you live in Wisconsin like I do, everything IS unicorns and fields of daisy's. Rick |
Things to do Saturday:
*Walk five miles *Fill out Draftkings and fantasy lineups *Mow the lawn *Bump all non PreWar topics to top on Net54 PreWar forum |

1. Nix ideas of anarchy :). 2. Go to kitchen and get more coffee. 3. Play with dogs. . |

Why don't we just have 1 forum for all cards. Just require the OP to place the year of the card in the title.
This way you can do an advanced search of the titles to find the year that you are interested in. |

This purported response is one Clapton is extremely unlikely to have made (in anything but jest), as it follows exactly the narrative of a decades-old (false) urban legend in which either Jimi Hendrix or Clapton himself supposedly answered the same question, in equally surprising fashion, by saying that it should instead have been posed to Phil Keaggy: While Prince is regarded as a fine musician, he wasn't necessarily seen as being in the top echelon of world-class guitarists by his fellow axe men. Rolling Stones' 2003 list of the "Top 100 Guitarists of All Time" completely omitted him (although he was came in at #33 in a later version). Clapton and Hendrix, however, regularly rank at the top of the list. |

joe walsh? now we are talking!!
ordinary average guy is so underated, imo. been lucky enough to see him twice. "it's hard to leave when you cant find the door" and not 100% sure the clapton thing has been disproved yet. im sure we'll get something outta clapton in the next few days. but this is him in his own words and pretty much the same point: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xhIwBNTQ5Yo |

I've known a lot of guitarists, and not a one of them thought the Rolling Stone list was worth the paper it was printed on. |

That list is the opinions of other professional guitarists. The top 3 is pretty well established, Hendrix, Clapton, Page. The further you go down the list, the more subjective it becomes. The point still stands, while Prince was a great guitarist, he was no where near the best living guitarist. |
The irony of this thread is palpable.

edit: and agreed, i'd rather have a roll of toilet paper than a rolling stone. |
and speaking of rolling stone and it's corporate agendas...this is one of my fav clips.
derek trucks melting john mayer's face: john mayer who? not sure if derek ever made RS lists. probably not, but that's more credible to me. i dig the under the radar guys like trucks, warren haynes, dave schools (bass), etc. edit: in closing for prince, here is a link to his final show. kinda a slow show...it's primarily a panic site, but it has streams of live shows for just about anyone worth listening to along the right hand side. just about anything found here back to prewar. |
The Pick Off
This thread coupled with the death of Prince Not Fielder may have the unintended consequence of proving that the number of prewar thread topics may be finite. If true, I feel like weeping.:eek::eek::eek:;)
So to paraphrase a baseball play, let's have a Net54 Pick Off contest. For those of you with limited free time, watch and listen only to the last two minutes of each of the following. The contestants are Prince and Clapton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj4J6i_vw0w Disclaimer: I have no knowledge or opinion on the top guitarists of all time, but I do have hearing loss.:mad::mad::mad::D |
