How many Net54 Members are also active on FB Vintage Pages - a poll

[Belfast1933]

I know that quite a few of us here are "dual citizens" of both Net54 and on many Facebook Vintage card pages... I'm interested in a small poll to see what % of us are active in both areas.

I'm active and enjoy both and am curious about others - and of course, feel free to weigh in with your comments as well to add a little color commentary to the poll.

Thanks - happy weekend, all.

I'm a member of several vintage, some modern, and quite a few non-sports pages on FB. I'm also an admin for a couple, too. I certainly enjoy both platforms.

I guess I'm an old geezer at 56 as I do not have a Facebook account. Or any other social media accounts for that matter.

Welcome to the club! The anti-social media Luddite crowd. We're almost as cool as the anti-grading crowd, except that we don't post about it quite as often.

I like your thinking and just might give that a try.

I’m 65, you’re not alone

[Natswin2019]

I browse both the facebook groups, here, the reddit groups and my card instagram for vintage card content but im in my late 20s and ive always used all of them anyway regardless.

[rjackson44]

Love the page more members please. Post your cards we got this

[JollyElm]

Not to be 'that guy,' but the "NO" choice is oddly quite limiting.
I've never visited a baseball card FB page, but it's not because it is "not for me, I'm good here at Net54 and here alone!"

It's simply because I've just never ventured down that road (yet?). Nothing more to it.

[pawpawdiv9]

Never done a card group on Facebook
But on n54 and blowout and psa-collector universe
Mostly just n54 tho

Facebook anything = A bridge too far for me.

I'm opposed to Facebook as a matter of general principle.

I joined Facebook in college when it was thefacebook.com over 20 years ago. I closed my account right afterwards and never signed up again.

“You need Facebook so you can keep up with your friends and family!”

I can be reached by phone, text, email, snail mail, and in person. Besides, my wife is on there enough for the both of us.

I was skeptical, but have found that Facebook groups are a great way to buy and sell cards. As long as you are in an established/reputable group, deal with known members, and use a little common sense (don't send via Venmo or PayPal FF unless it is to someone you know, ask for "vouches" if the deal is with someone you don't know etc.), you will likely not have any problems.

-
I don't partipate in social media by choice. Finding and spending money on cards for my PC doesn't seem to be a problem, the exact opposite in fact, which can be a problem.

[Lucas00]

I am on Facebook strictly for vintage card groups.

[refz]

I’m on them, but the people, cards, information, history are sooo much better here on Net54 Baseball. I get so sick of seeing the same 1/2 - dozen sellers selling the same crap in every group. Sickening really.

[SmokyBurgess]

I do use Facebook groups to trade. Easier to post photos.

[steve B]

I went with no, even though it didn't quite match for me.
Currently I'm not on any FB card groups. But I wouldn't rule it out.

[NYYFan63]

I peruse the FB Vintage groups

If anyone would like suggestions on which FB pages we like and use the most, please reach out - I know that “social media” causes some allergic reactions but honestly, there really are some good communities out there in Facebook land, just like here.

If you try to consistently get members here, to go over to FB, maybe you should market that somewhere else? Just sayin'....

[parkerj33]

I am 57, and very active on fb....on three very popular t206 groups and know several other people from here much more active on there, than here. But i enjoy both places equally!

Oh sorry, Leon.. that surely wasn’t my intent. Just trying to be helpful to members. Damn, sorry. Seriously.

I don't think Leon has anything to worry about. Don't see FB groups cannibalizing any NET54 traffic. If anything they are both good compliments.
