Default It's not that hard

The answer is really much easier than that guys.

54 cards is the tipping point for most people who tackle the monster. Many, many people eventually try to defeat the monster and nearly all of them slink away with their tails between their legs. But careful analysis by Ted and many other long time collectors identified the number 54 as the point of no return. Once a collector had acquired their 54th card from the T206 set they were once and forever ensnared in the monsters NET.

Or, at the kickoff meeting for the Vintage Card Collectors Forum, each member was given one vote when electing a president. While there were only 12 people in attendance, it was quickly noted that there were 54 votes cast. A quick investigation discovered the discrepancy resulted when each of the Bruce Dorskinds had voted separately.

If this isn't the reason Net54 got it's name, well, it should be...
