Chris Stufflestreet. Super knowledgeable (and he let you know it), and incredibly friendly and generous with his knowledge.

I miss both of those guys terribly.

Ditto.

Mike Hoevet:
He passed away far too soon, but left an indelible impression on the memorabilia side. Smart collector, amazing family man, and simply one of the nicest people I have ever met.

Jimmy Catanzaro (i.e. The King of Clout):
Just a stellar guy and a great contributor to the forum. Among the very first collectors here who specialized in Type 1 Photos. He had an equally impressive Beatles collection, and is another who passed away too soon.

Rob D:
Still alive He has a fantastic Indians/LaJoie collection with expertise on both cards and memorabilia. Nobody does sarcasm quite like Rob... a sharp sense of humor and impeccable taste. Not afraid to tell it like it is.... really miss him here.

What happened to Wonka? I don't think he's banned as Rob D is, but I could be wrong.

I liked Clayton (teetwoohsix) but he just stopped posting years ago, not sure if something happened to him.

Anthony Stephenson. Passed in 2014, just 47 years old. A sweet fellow, funniest guy on Net54. Can't look at an Obak without thinking about him.

He had a wonderful sense of humor, and was way too young to go. I can't remember his Net54 ID, but if someone does I would love to go back through some of his posts, as I know it would make me smile.

His old posts are a hoot. He went back on the Board long enough ago to also have posted as Archive.

Thanks David...you have just given me the gift of an hour or two of his slightly off-kilter but gentle humor.

I miss posts by Barry Sloate and Julie Vognar, both great people and great sources of info on the forum.

And I'll probably get crap for this, but I actually miss the Bruces. Many of his posts were so far out, they were in. LOL Entertaining as hell at least.

How can you not love posts by someone always referring to themselves in the third-person, and who can get so upset as to threaten to sue someone for what they posted, without realizing he was the poster he was threatening to go after and sue. Still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

to all the above!!

especially Jantz......

The funniest thing about the "Bruces" was I once posted in a thread how much I missed his posts and unknown to me, that post hit the very day he was reinstated to Net 54. Had to explain to a couple of people it was just a coincidence and nothing more. But the threat of Bruce suing himself was the classic post of all time. You know, that guy Archive was a funny fellow

Oh OK I thought when I checked Wonka's ID a while ago it didn't show him as banned but so be it.

I didn't think he was banned either Peter, I thought he sold everything (hobby related) and is no longer in the hobby.

From looking at his profile and post history, his profile doesn't show banned, but it does look like he was put in the penalty box several years ago and that was the end of his posting here.

+1.

King of Clout's posts were a major inspiration to start my Type 1 photo collection.
