A Salute to the Community
So this story is going to center around Rob (robw1959) but I would be remiss if I didn't mention Karthik (seablaster), Sonny (stutor), Bob (B O'Brien) and James (griffon512). We have an amazing community here.
Back in March Luke posted a T206 WaJo (HAC) for sale. Instead of pouncing I shuffled my feet, sent an offer, and ultimately missed out as the card sold within a few minutes of posting. Shortly thereafter I put up a WTB post looking for another WaJo. No bites. Today, on a whim, I bumped that thread back up and to my utter surprise the aforementioned Rob responded that he had in fact purchased the original WaJo and was willing to part ways with it. Instead of holding my feet to the fire and extracting every last dollar he offered me the card at cost. I am continuously amazed at the generosity and thoughtfulness of the members of this board. Instead of trying to find some high minded conclusion to this post I will let Rob's words speak for themselves - "I really like the card, but based on your posts, I think you would maybe appreciate it even more than me. The price is Luke's same asking price". Net54, I salute you. Adam. |

285. Rostertute
A member having a list of people he’s done deals with catalogued in his signature. There is no bigger 'rostertute' on this site than Rob!!! (That's a compliment, not a pejorative!!) He's done deals with virtually everyone... Attachment 663427 In fairness, though, a quick look at his list does show duplication. :D:rolleyes::D |
Kudos to Rob…what a fantastic gesture! And congrats to Adam for moving one step closer to completing the HOF subset! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful gesture 👏.

Rob is a great guy! I only had one deal with him on NET54, and it went as smooth as possible. We grew up together and were in the same class (Me on the left, Rob on the right). Like most, we grew up and both moved on with our lives. It wasn't until many many years later, we met up again on NET54.

I'm a "rostertute"? Ha! You, my friend, are a laugh and a half, and the owner of a very creative mind. Thanks to your comment I was able to purge my list of all duplicate entries, at least I think. I'm always trying to avoid duplication but if I missed any, just let me know:
