I joined Net54 because it was suggested to me that it was the best place to help build my 53 Bowman set. Virtually all my purchases have been eBay, but as it has been mentioned, the same cards offered for sale recycle, the cards tend to be "optimistically" graded, auction prices realized can arguably fetch more than what the card is worth, and the taxes certainly add a considerable expense in purchasing cards over time.
I only need a few upgrades for my set and I figured it would be beneficial to post a WTB listing for some of the cards I need. I also hope that if a collector/dealer who advertises on eBay sees something I need a deal could be made through here which could benefit us both in terms of expenses. Perhaps the increase in the WTB listings may be bothersome to some, but collectors do look for other avenues to fill their want lists.
