Net54....Never heard of it

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I visited a store recommended on the forum. The owner asked how I heard of his store and when I replied Net54 the guy gave me a weird look and said "Never heard of it. Just being honest." I have had the same reaction the last two shops I have visited. This is surprising since the last owner was trying to build a mid-grade Goudey set. I recommended Net54 and sent a follow up email but I don't believe he ever joined.

I don't get it.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing??

I would guess about 1/100 of 1% of collectors have heard of Net54. It's a secret . Now, if you say what percentage of pre-war collectors, who are internet savvy and always on it, have heard of it......the percentage would be quite a bit higher. Maybe all the way up to 1% .....

LOL, funny Leon. I actually agree as well. It seems like a number of guys that concentrate on the later issue sets to post-War have not heard about Net54. It seems as if the penetration to various collectors is skewed towards the earlier years (ie 1900's to perhaps 1920's). JMO

Probably true. Ironically, when I got back into collecting this is one of the first sites I found.

Definitely good. Think of it as a self-cleaning feature. That lack of knowledge re: this board helps keep out the scammers, lowlifes and trolls.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
