I agree with all of the choices above. There are some good ones I've found searching the archives, I'll try to find a few that were pretty fun and entertaining. Is a T213-1 a T206 ?:D

Sincerely, Clayton

Side note* Some of the Pat Chan getting snagged threads were fun reading also.....before my time here, but very entertaining as well as educational.

Strictly for pure drama, the steaknchop thread is always the most memorable for me. Hell, it resulted in a bunch of hangup calls, random facebook requests from that clown, and of course his father threatening to sue...And lets not forget all the great corned beef hash jokes..

Based solely on content, there are way too many great threads, but the "Earliest Collectibles" thread is probably the one that I go back to the most for reference...

My vote for the trainwreck thread award goes to Bruce for his continued arrogance over an extended amount of time...Thanks Leon for finally putting that to rest !!

The best information based thread IMO goes to Ted for the compiling of the checklists for the T-206's. I refer to that thread weekely !!

I will second that. Ted's T-206 list and Phil's Earliest Collectibles list are probably the two most important and informative list's that have been compiled for these threads. Phil's got the HOF Rookie card list started as the "Earliest collectibles counterpart, and that should prove equally as important. There was the "HOF rookie card A-C" thread that got started a while back, that allowed for the "latest acceptable" rookie cards to also make the list. I think with a little work and obvious completion, that might be a great list as well to go along with Phil's lists.

Yes, Bruce threatened to sue Mr.Archive. That is the funniest I can recall.

There are too many good threads for me to say which I think would be the best. Certainly Ted's T206 threads, even with a few issues surrounding a bit of the data, are some of the best. I think we all need to be very careful when assimilating, and making public, data which is verified. This aspect of data collection goes all the way back to Burdick's days.

The letter to STATS, on authenticity, was the most replied to thread.

And lastly there was one when a famous authenticator got called out pertaining to authenticating bats/gloves he was selling, which changed the hobby a bit, vis a vis transparency and conflict of interest. That was one of the best to me. regards

There have been plenty of informative threads on a variety of sets and I have enjoyed them the most. I am partial to the caramel issues, and always on the look out for threads about them. Here is one that may not have received much interest, due to its subject matter, but the author I have always thought was able to piece together with the help of fellow net54 members a convincing argument on the value of this issue:

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=116102&highlight=e91

Of course the author be me, so biased must I be. I submitted it originally when I for a time lacked a scanner, and Leon helped me out...always wished the pages had come out larger. I still think it deserves to be in the thread archive, perhaps doing legal battle vs. Bruce.

One tremendous Net54 thread is........

Barry Arnold's T206 thread in June 2006 regarding the El Principe de Gales (EPDG) cards attained 363 very meaningful and informative posts
on various aspects of the T206 set....which resulted in some ground-breaking discoveries. A really great thread in which many serious T206
collectors participated in, including Bill Heitman.

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=81906&highlight=epdg

Then in Sept 2006, this follow-up thread further explored many topics that resulted from Barry's EPDG thread.

If you decide to do a "best of" forum, It would be appropriate with our devotion to sports and memorabilia to call it the "Hall of fame of Postings".

In reading the open letter to Ted Taylor, I see how active the board used to be compared with lately. Is that because it was an extremely "hot" topic or is it more that board partcipation down?

This board is busier than back then..you just don't notice it because the forum is now broken down into separate sections...it used to be one board for everything.

Bruce can't come on to defend himself because he's been banned. There's something that makes me uncomfortable about giving people free rein to lambast a person, yet denying that person the right to respond. Perhaps the Board should consider a policy that restricts negative comments about people who are banned. Just my two cents.

Hi Corey
Absolutely, and you are correct. I am very tenacious in watching what is said about anyone that can not defend themselves. I see nothing in this thread where Brucii (his own affirmation) is getting lambasted. One tiny bit was the post AFTER yours but it's not that bad either. The fact we are talking about Brucii's idiocy in suing a computer process, to me, does not rise to the level of anyone bashing him. This is absolute fact and he wrote it on the board. He is the one that did it, not us. For us to point it out doesn't mean we are bashing him, we are merely talking about a thread. And lastly, you as much as anyone, should be aware of the bashing emails he has sent around concerning myself, and the irony of that, is that I am the only moderator that has usually taken up for him. So, to your question about a rule concerning bashing folks who can't defend themselves, we are in total agreement, and there is an unwritten rule that I do try to enforce when appropriate.

Thanks for the response Leon. Perhaps I was too limiting in what I said. I think there should also be prosciptions on making fun of banned posters in such a manner that the person if not banned would feel a need to respond and would if permitted to. Also, the references to Bruce in this thread go beyond just the Archive thread. I am mindful of some of the emails you received, but have always felt two wrongs don't make a right, not to mention that you weren't prevented from responding to those emails. Bruce at this point is down and out. I see no need to pile on.

It is also a bit difficult to defend someone that continues to slam me. And as for the emails, most were sent to my friends WITHOUT me being included in them, if you remember correctly. So I am not sure how one responds to an email that one isn't included on?
No, two wrongs don't make a right, but two Wongs make some great fried rice!! (only joking, please no hate emails)

In light of the 10th anniversary here, i was wondering what everyone thought the best threads were for the Net54 Thread hall of fame?
Mine:
The Joe Jackson t202 debacle
The Dorskind boot
Big ass herzogs travels :)

I agree that the Joe Jackson mega-thread was the best of all time. But I didn't consider it to be a debacle at all because of how insightful and investigative it was. In fact, I went ahead and purchased a T202 Lord Catches His Man card as a result, and still have it in my collection to this day. The discovery of Joe in the center panel was amazing, and I still can't believe prices for that card haven't shot through the roof (although it isn't being offered for sale too often). Where else can you going to find an affordable bonafide baseball card of Shoeless Joe in nice condition?

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=184835

Based on a challenge/question by the original poster whether the players in the ultra-cool White Sox at Royal Gorge postcard had been identified, net54 members, two in particular, proceeded to slowly identify, with photographic comparisions, one player after another (and I think even some of the wives, unless they were kidding!) until all the players were positively pegged. It was really fun watching the mystery unfurl over the weeks.

I am not going to the National; however, would be glad to show him around Southeastern PA. Valley Forge, Independnce Hall, etc. Please let me know.

Hey Eric
Lets see if he can chaperone someone to the National first and if not he can go right out to you. If he does make the National you can be his next stop, if that is ok? Thanks for the offer too. He appreciates it and is looking forward to it (he's been kind of chatty lately).

Which would make no sense for an individual person...

But with The Bruces, you could have Bruce The Plaintiff vs. Bruce The Defendant.

There was one thread which went viral in one day and during the middle of the thread -- Leon and I set up meeting for lunch. That was the most hilarious thread I've ever been real active in.

That works for me. Thanks, Leon. I look forward to showing him my neck of the woods. :)

You forgot about Bruce the Judge, Bruce the Baliff, as well as all the other Brucii in the jury and the gallery.

"I'm almost positive this card features Shoeless Joe" (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=124045)

Still one of the best, if not the best threads I've ever seen on Net 54. Also, one of the very best "first posts" in the forum's history, or at least, since I've been here.

It's the perfect example of just how much collective knowledge the members of our forum have. The photographic analysis, and research done to all but confirm the original poster's assertion makes for a great read. I bookmarked it for a reason.

A casual skim of this topic didn't show me that it had been mentioned, which would surprise me.

"Let's see some postcards."

I agree, Glenn, that's one of the very best. It's the first thread I ever bookmarked.

Subject Front/Back Combo Completions is still my favorite.

No drama, just various back-runs from different board members. But maybe you have to be a T206 guy to really like this one. :)
