Cleaning up the "Hobby"

Collectors of Pre-War baseball cards and related material should not take for granted how lucky they are having the Net54 Board (well run by Bill Cornell). Consider that this is a place where folks like Barry Sloate, Bob Lemke, Josh Evans, Rich Klein, Jay Miller, Scott Brockleman (sp, sorry Scott if I got it wrong, I tried), Leon Lucky, Scott Forrest and all the bright rest offer information and learned opinions, and the beginning collector can ask a question or offer an opinion just like anyone else. I can promise you that there is no equivilant board for collectors of million dollar Picasso paintings or Ming vases where Paris museum curators and Harvard art historians and average collectors mingle to shoot the breeze and trade tricks of the trade and point out the errors in the latest Sotheby's auction catalog and post their latest pick-ups.
