Nope, not me. Don't own a single 1933 Goudey.

And No. 3 is factually incorrect, too, in regard to "single greatest signed T206 collection in existence."

Contrary to what many here think (and what often is implied), there are a ton of collectors out there with fantastic collections who either have never heard of Net54 or would never even think of posting here.

I think a Net54 HOF would be better. it would be a great way to note great posters past and present such as the Bruces and those who constantly help the hobby such as Wonka and Calvin Dog.

Or we could remember Peter Chao and jrawlsian among others

I'll be wearing mine two sizes two small to get better deals.

All joking aside neat topic. I can't say that the following people have the best or aren't the best in their collecting. However with that said I've either admired their passion, collecting, collections, or they have inspired my collecting or influenced me in some shape or form. In no particular order and to name just a few..they are.

Richard Masson
Jay Miller
James Blumenthal (RIP)
Tony Andrea
Jeff Lichtman
Ron Gold
Chad & Doug Dreier
Dan McKee and Pops (RIP Mr. McKee)
Mike Peich
John Vanderbeck
Monty Barrie
Chris Browne
Sean Costello
Bruce Dorskind (RIP)
Jay Wolt
Barry Halper (RIP)
Scott Mosley
Julie Vognar
Keith O'leary
Tom Boblitt
Keith Olbermann
Rob Lifson
Joann Kline
Brian Weisner
Henry Moses
Scott Hassel
Tom Burton
Barry Sloate

Not to mention the fathers and early collectors of our hobby Egan, Burdick, Carter, Wharton-Tigar, Bray, Barker, Pollard, Nagy, Conlon, Copeland and on and on...

In the end there are so many amazing collectors it would be tough to make a list because so many have impacted the hobby beyond just what they have obtained in collectibles. In the end I'm flattered any one would mention me or my collection so thanks.

Cheers,

John

First off, sorry!

Secondly, who is better for signed T206? Just learnin

Lastly, I know there are plenty of amazing other collections we don't know about, but that's not the point. That's why I narrowed it down to only Net54, hence the title.

I'm just happy to be included in the discussion. I would love to know who has more or better ones. Certainly the total absence of a signed Cobb in my collection leaves a gaping hole that many others - yes, he signed many - have filled. Morey's old Lajoie also comes to mind. Would love to know where they all ran off to. It's a damn shame they are not shared with other collectors who can truly enjoy them without having to own them. I understand privacy, security, blah blah. But, it would be nice to see them.

who cares if it's not "factually #1" on any rankings......Paul's collection is SICK

You and I share a love for niche collecting T206s, to keep them unique and personal to us. Thanks for the kudos.

[mrvster]

I have always admired your focus ! and niche collecting.....easy to "stray" some times I absolutely love your collection, and id even hate to call them an "investment" but they are! a blue chip collection, and basically a piece of true history....

you deserve all the kudos ! come to AC next year! I want you to witness the circus my friend

Given what I read in many of your posts, Johnny, I don't expect you to care at all whether a statement is factually correct.

The OP wrote the "single greatest signed T206 collection in existence" when, in fact, it is not. My response wasn't a knock on Paul's collection, it was merely correcting a factual mistake.

Again, I understand why that wouldn't interest you.
