Net 54 B/S/T Success story - Milwaukee Old Judges
 

Hello,

I'm mostly a B/S/T member here who has often gone years between posting or buying - this I feel is mostly because I'd be broke otherwise. With the recent concerns of fraud on B/S/T posted by Leon and others, I thought it would be worthwhile to post a few pickups I've managed to get reasonably priced through our own B/S/T boards. Apologies if this should go in a November pickups thread, but figured a discussion on how to verify a member is legit and avoiding fraud would also be welcomed.

Personally I like to collect a myriad of things - main focus is Roy Campanella, but I dabble in vintage Milwaukee / Wisconsin baseball. My recent focus has been more on Milwaukee Old Judges and thanks to several members on this board I was able to add the following over the past couple months. Also a minor plug for SGC. My first submission door to door including mailing was 15 days!

I still have several to go to complete my journey but figured I would share some success and the knowledge that with a little research on the buyers part there are some GREAT members here with a wealth of knowledge and often are more eager to see someone complete their collecting goals rather than reach the top of VCP pricing.

Beautiful cards! Congrats on the recent successes, there is nothing quite like collecting 19th century Baseball.

That Griffith looks familiar!!

You have a great eye for OJs. Contrast and clarity are far more important than technical grades. Congrats on your successful pick-ups. I’m glad I could help (a little).

Yes, beautiful cards! Good luck on your Milwaukee collecting—some of the toughest cards in the set —Cusick, Davin, Stephens, McVey-Milwaukee, Struck error are all Milwaukee.

They are indeed beautiful cards, as well as little windows into a very different baseball world.

I too am a modest collector in this day and age. The pre-war cards I have acquired in the past 2 years have been through net54, and to be quite honest, I couldn't have done it or completed my 1953 Bowman set, without the help of those net54 members listed below with my signature.

Nice Griffith. I've seen SO many Griffiths with light images. That one ain't bad at all.

Yes, gorgeous cards and great Milwaukee collection.

That is a really nice looking group of OJs. I love to hear of success stories! There are a lot of really great people on the forum.

fantastic stuff and great cards

Nice group of OJ's!
