Posted By: <b>Bill Panagopulos</b><p>PC - <br /><br />I never heard of Net 54 until about ten days ago. Never posted a damned thing on a forum, and always thought forums were used to share knowledge and expertise in the field of plaster kewpie dolls of the 1920's (or more nefarious purposes). And I don't give a rat's arse for baseball cards - I'd take your entire collection and put it in my kid's bicycle spokes so that his boke would sound cool. But I don't care about cards, just as YOU don't care about autographs. <br /><br />I found this thread only through word of email. <br /><br />I don't know if you're right or wrong. Is this site totally devoted, exclusively, to baseball cards? If so, I apologize. Is too much bandwidth being used? <br /><br />We are talking about sales of $20+million dollar per year or more in material that is being debated here. That's $20 MILLION. PER YEAR! What's that trimmed(?) Honus Wagner card worth? A measly million bucks? <br /><br />Twenty Million Dollars from the pockets of people who are buying this stuff to pay for:<br /><br />- their retirement<br />- college tuitions<br />- medical expenses<br /><br />etc. etc.<br /><br />You label those who have been ripped-as as "crybabies". The correct verbiage is "victims", and they're finally pissed-off, and hopefully have found a common voice.<br /><br />Lighten up, chum.
