Okay. I'll go back to posting about my favourite cards and collectibles.

Not trying to chase you out of the thread, that's not my point at all.

I have used this site as an education. The resources are here (mainly ridiculously knowledgeable people) I can argue with people anywhere. I can't avail myself of an amazing knowledge base just anywhere, so why waste the opportunity to learn?

I'm not taking sides in the battle, I don't care who's wrong or right or who wins or who gets the last word.

This coming from a man who runs an auction house, handles cards and collectibles on a daily basis, and has years of experience in the hobby.

Hell, I've been collecting since the '70s and I still learn new things here every day.

This is, without a doubt, the most knowledgeable group of sports card collectors I've ever met. It's quite possibly the most knowledgeable group of collectors in the world.

When the members freely share their knowledge and help those seeking to further their learning, Net54 absolutely shines. When threads devolve into whatever this one has become, the site loses a bit of its luster.

Now...if you'll excuse me. I'm going to take my rose colored glasses and go look through a binder of baseball cards.

Getting back to 1916 M101-4/5 reprints, here's a WaJo reprint that I unknowingly and unsuspectingly purchased at a local card show back in the early 1990's, back when I was just getting into pre-War cards and didn't know these cards had been reprinted, much less how to distinguish a reprint from the real McCoy. It's 30+ years later, and I'm still pissed! Also, here's a legitimate card for comparison.
