Best Advice You've Given

You will miss nothing except being annoyed because those people rarely have anything credible or intelligent to add to the discussion about card collecting. They are just here to gloss themselves or pick fights.

Amen to that. It took me many years to actually use the ignore function, particularly since the once person I wanted to block is widely believed to be an expert here, but I've definitely been happier since I stopped seeing his posts and feeling compelled to point out that he appears to just be making up his facts most of the time.

Ha. I will refrain from guessing.

LOL, I'm intrigued and have a couple in mind but not really sure who it could be.

Buy what you want when you can afford it.

I would suggest taking literally everything said by a number of Net54 daily regulars - including people posting in this thread - with a MASSIVE "grain" of salt.

I keep finding myself where folks keep asking if T206s, 33 goudeys, raw 50-60's stars, etc are real or fake. The advice I always give is if in doubt, you can always find another one and you'll regret passing on a good card far less than being stuck with a bad one.

Little different take on the question, but I am often asked by new and/or aspiring auctioneers (in general not just card guys) for advice and I always say "Having and idea is great, but it's no substitute for having a plan."

I would too but with regard to baseball cards, many of our members know way, way more than a TPG....

Also, don't eat yellow snow!

OT: The late Frank Zappa wrote "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" in 1974. I will never forget the title. I Googled the lyrics just now. They're great. The song hit number 86 on the charts back then. Thanks for bringing back the memory of the late, great Zappa. Weird but wonderful guy. Peace.
