5000 net54 Post Club Thread
Just like 500 homers and 3000 hits and 300 wins...there is the 5000 post net54 club...
Some day when i get there, I will get to rub elbows with the bnorths of the world and ulmandds, republicaninmass, peter S., clydepepper and the like... i know its rare air to be in this company. i hope i am worthy.....from this point on in the thread, the hope is only people with 5000 or more posts (or someone closing in on the record) on net54 to post their wise opinions on this thread and grab a drink , as with ichiro his march to 3000 was different than other 3000 hit players...many of his hits were singles aka 'nice card' and not doubles or homers (analysis of blank back/error cards) welcome all (worthy members ) to the 5000 post club! |
I would grab a drink with anyone on here.
I don't think I got many singles associated with my posts.:) Like me or hate me I can guarantee I have never lied on this forum or screwed over a single member in what has to be close to 1000 transactions by now. Have a great day everyone!:) |
I'm not sure if the 5,000+ posts I have made are as 'noteworthy' as the others...just retired with too much time on my hands...and my rate has decreased since I lost the fire of collecting. (once you sell a Babe the writing's on the wall)
I do try to contribute from time to time but I usually bow to those higher up the hobby food chain than I - and there are lots of those. I have enjoyed this forum...most fun since I quit playing. . |

Only 26? I figured it would be more.
didn't figure I'd be in that group either, but I guess being around a long time gets it done... Maybe we should have a card set of our own? Sort of like the old Topps 1000 yard gainer inserts or something. |
Fun thread so it was moved and I can pad my post count!
and a pic of the orginal Net54 guys.... https://luckeycards.com/pphoto1900sintegrated.jpg |
The story behind that baby would be an interesting one I bet...
|
happy
posting everyone!
I need to post more:):o |

I don't have 5,000 posts so Leon can delete this - maybe the baby is Paul Waner?

I had never really paid attention to my post count number. I have way fewer posts than I thought I would. That being said, if I actually posted every time I had a response written out I would probably be in the dubious 5,000 post club. I always ask myself Right before I click submit “am I really adding anything to this discussion or to the community by posting this” and probably 4 out of 5 times the answer is no so I delete it. :)

I limit myself strictly to informational, insightful posts that further our mutual understanding of the vintage cards we collect. Thusly, I have not attained 5k post status. When I do, the post will undoubtedly be as mutually beneficial as all my other posts.

And I really like cereal...I thank Post and their baseball card issues for that.

Please disregard my previous post...that's just the cereal talking.

"When I do, the post will undoubtedly be as mutually beneficial as all OF my other posts." I think we can all agree how mutually beneficial this new post is. Brian |

for some its a career longetivity accomplishment, for others they just had many elite all star seasons to get to that number in a much faster way... the join date is our rookie year.. |
Don't these post counts start with the new site/forum from 2009 on? I seem to remember Archive had a lot from the old forum. I would not be worthy even if you added my old and new together but that's because I am a lowbrow. Might have to start a 500(I mean 800 :) )and under club. We can drag our knuckles together.

I've helped out with the post counts of other members with this topic. :rolleyes:

OK. We have now reached a new milestone in the coronavirus shutdown. Rookie posts. :rolleyes:

I would like to acknowledge PWCC and PSA for your help in getting me over the hump. Without your questionable antics and shady business practices, I might be languishing around the 4,700 mark. The chat forum equivalent of "warning track power", or perhaps the "Fred McGriff" of net54.
Either that, or just an old fart with too much spare time :o |

Geez. I'm only at the halfway point. I'm going to have to lay down some bunts with the infield back to get there I think.
|
I'm on the list. Is there a cash prize? How about a medal? Just a woo hoo would suffice. :D

however the number of 5000 plus posters is still pretty small so to be a member of the 5000 hit club there is no discrimination as to lack of slugging percentage or other methodology... |

I like the fact that the Bruces are Archived. Not that I am glad he passed away, just that 'their' presence on the board is in the past tense...man, no one else's attitude on this board got under my skin like the Bruces.

With 30 posts in 6 years, I should be able to join this elusive club in another 994 years!

Not ready for the Hall of Fame Net54 style quite yet! LOL

Thankfully since the original post almost two years ago, I was able to lay the 5k golden egg, which of course has secured my lofty position within this community, and therefore so shall this be my last post in this thread.
Brian (unless I just can't resist posting something again) |

Didn't realize this was an old thread until I made my Post!

Wow that is a lot of post congrats.
But Leon just realized you have a little more than 5k. Just curious is there a leader board for your long term members for us rookies to see |

At my current pace, I should hit 5,000 posts sometime in 2039. Now 5,000 useful posts will take a bit longer. :D Edit: Community>Members List>Search Members>Advanced Search>Enter 5,000 in 'Post count greater than or equal to'; resulting list yields 37 members. Though it doesn't order them or list their post totals. |
update
Its not the Mayflower club, but any new members to the 5000 post club?
|
I just checked and I passed the threshold somewhere in the not-to-distant past.
|
Absolutely amazed how many posts many people have made.
I just checked and I will join that group in approx 3 years 2 months and 3 weeks. That is a long time so amazed how long and active many people have been. |

So thus I am officially announcing my new vintage sports card auction company. It will be named "Win and Pay Promptly." I am still working on the business model for this. Brian |
