Other boards

onegaucho

Happened to do a search on the net to research another topic on counterfeiting and came across 2 other card collecting 'boards' for the first time. One on network54 and another on SGC's boards. It was kinda interesting seeing familiar 'names' show up on the boards discussing other grading companies' cards.

My question was, are there other 'boards' out there for vintage/set collectors that have useful information? The one thread I came across on the SGC board had some people bickering with each other and it didn't seem to go anywhere. The vintage card threads on network54 seemed to be pretty good.

I'm looking for boards that might have some good info as I continue on collecting my T206s and 1950 Bowmans (and Gwynns!)

Thanks!

I like the Net 54 board a lot, once you weed past the anti grading rants, and the constant threads on ebay fraud. Useful into, but a bit tiresome.
For T206's try this one
T206 Museum

SGC is ok, but its the same 5 or 6 posters. Dave Levin has a board, ( www.gfg.com) and there are a few other small ones, but for the most part its this and Net 54's.

Hey Andy. Might want to invest in a "pop up" blocker before lurking on the 54 board....


(The things make me dizzy...LOL...)

King,

Actually the pop-up's are gone.

Are they really? The pop-ups there were so viscous that I did invest in a pop-up blocker...and now they're gone and my pop-up blocker is blocking all sorts of things that I wish it wouldn't. Hmmmmm

The Network 54 forum is an absolute great place to go to expand your knowledge of tobacco cards, there are some people over there who truly know their tobacco card history...although the discussion are mostly limited to baseball tobacco, you can also learn a lot if you collect mixed sports tobacco cards (like myself) such as the N28 A&G World Champions, etc.

I am in the process of collecting a boxers-only set.

I went to the Network 54 board one time and posted that i wanted to buy some Excellent or better N172 Old Judge cards of Indianapolis players that were PSA or SGC graded and within 8 days i had bought two cards and they were in my hand (both SGC 60). Everyone seemed cool over there and if your into pre-war cards then that's the board for you.

Gaucho,
While it is not a board, the Lipset encylopedia set on cards (published under "The Old Judge" ) is probably the best informed work on cards I have ever read. Hands down. I thought I was an expert when I got the first book. I found out, I knew nothing. These are incredible. In fact any of the Old Judge newsletters you can pick up are priceless as well. I know that Lew moved to Carefree, AZ several years ago but don't know if he is still active in the hobby at all. Maybe eBay could help. Lord knows everything else on the planet can be found there except for a couple of things I'm looking for.
