Not only did we come to an agreement very quickly and reasonably... But we were absolutely able to bolster very specific collections we're working on.

I'm now only 6 cards from finishing a type set I've been working on for almost a decade.

phikappapsi was very easy to work with as well. The few transactions I have done through this board have been smooth as possible. I am mostly just a looker on Net54Baseball as I just can't afford the type of items I want. Unlike eBay, the people on this site are collectors first who want to help other collectors out not dealers trying to maximize revenue. Just as an FYI, Large Ass Herzog will be available for some additional adventures after I am done with him next week, so don't hesitate to have someone step to the plate.

I've had multiple positive transactions with Leon L., Scott B., and Tbob.

I'm very happy with this forum.

I too have had incredibly great transactions with people from Net54. Recently I purchased a card from someone in a personal transaction that I didn't know. I was hesitant to send real $$$$ to this person without some sort of protection but once he revealed he was a long time Net54 members, I easily checked him out and felt comfortable dealing with him directly. Without Net54, this deal probably wouldn't have happened.

My only complaint is that there are members even here who will purchase a card at an auction, mark it up 50%, and try and get someone on Net54 to purchase it at that price within a month. Is that really what we're all about on Net54? Take it fleaBay if you wanna try and flip cards like that. I'm all for someone making a buck but come on people. It's probably my bias but I view Net54 as a community of collectors who actively seek to help each other while still getting a fair price for their collectibles. Am I too naive thinking like this?

Is complaining about mark-ups really a positive experience? Some people will take any avenue to express grievances on the board, but unfortunately this does happen. However, for every negative post there are a dozen positive stories, shared experiences, and shared interests that add to the depth, and breadth of knowledge of collectors on this site. Many thanks to Leon....
