I have always preferred not to lock threads and not to ban people. Heck, I have let some folks back on lately that totally slammed me, in a bad way. I am a very forgiving person. I just want what is best for the hobby and this board. And then after that, Peace and Happiness on Earth.

And except for "attack other members" I could easily click on every box in the poll
I think that's why almost everyone here would agree you are the right guy for the job!

I come here to learn new things about the hobby I love so much. Making friends along the way has been a tremendous bonus that I never really thought would escalate to the point to where it's at today...really amazing.

And of course to buy new cardboard!!!

Although some of the crazy threads are humorous, it's been a bit discouraging of late. I hate to see fellow members get so angry at each other over rather moot subjects. We all love this hobby and are very passionate about it, but we should be thinking of OUR forum first and not only ourselves.

Mainly to learn about the hobby. If I have questions about what an item is someone is always quick to help me out. I love to see what people have picked up and like to post things I pick up as well. Back in the day I couldnt wait til SCD showed up, and now net54 is like that every day.

I joined Net54 to find like minded "collectors" who share the same passion for our hobby that I do. It's tough being in a house with three other women and trying to explain to them this great hobby......LOL.

I have always been a vintage collector and loved T206's. I have started and stopped collecting tobacco cards about a dozen times over the last 30 years and finally made my mind up to finally "collect" T206's. Net54 has some of the most expierenced and GOOD people I have met. Not a better site out there as far as I am concerned.

I replied as most have, but sometimes you have to admit that some of the train wrecks get kind of entertaining in a soap operatic kind of way... from those train wrecks we get some great pics from Wonka and others...
