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)

While Corey makes a fair point, if Bruce were allowed to respond it would be a guaranteed train wreck in the making. This thread would go on for three days. Maybe better we leave it as is.

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?
Mike, the "Open Letter to STAT and Chris Morales" thread was and still is a very hot topic. I wish I had participated in that thread but I was not aware of Net54 until October 2008 when I first doing my YouTube videos.

Just another reason that I like the corned beef hash thread...It was when I first learned it was you that did those videos(I had suspected it beforehand though).. Honestly Chris, you're one of my favorite people to read posts from on this board. Anytime a questionable autograph comes up, I can't wait to hear what you have to say..

David, thank you very much for that flattering comment.

You guys have no idea how much I have learned since I first joined Net54. This is a wonderful place to learn from so many knowledgeable collectors and great people.

And Leon does one helluva job here!!!

I tried to find it without success, but if someone can dig up the Joe Jackson t206 proof from April Fools Day several years ago it was a fun one. I remember going from "Yeah, good try" to "Holy Crap, Leon says it's legit!" back to "Burned, should have seen that coming."

Loved the threads on the scarcity of E90-1's and on E-94 colors. To name a few. Trainwrecks, not so much.

I like watching police shows/movies on tv and reading about the crooks/scammers here. My favorite was the one a few years ago about the guy selling a raw t206 on ebay (I forget the player). The front picture showed 4 rounded corners. The back picture showed 4 corners sharp enough to cut your enemy's throat.

Chris, thanks for your relentless efforts to clean the hobby and make collectors aware of the bad stuff out there. Someday we may have the last laugh.

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?

....Da Noize Guy who was an "accomplished golfer and "Noize Bringer" also the guy who typed all in caps. He has a brick and mortar card shop in northern Illinois. I met him in person at a breakfast buffet in Mendota Illinois by accident.
But for serious knowledge imparted.... any post by Barry Sloate or Mark Macrea was appreciated by me. Ted Z. ditto.....plus many more of our members. But Barkmannnnnnnnnnnn WOW!! A big downside is that he appeared to "run off"( with insult) JoAnn, who had a lot to offer.

While trainwreck threads are always a good pile-on rubberneck, as mentioned in an earlier post - 5 years ago!! - I'll go with the Skydash. Guy came on here looking for info and help. At first we all had our collective skeptic antenna up, but he turned out to be very very real. And even a boardmember in his area helped him get the stuff to a reputable AH. The only downer was that he couldn't find the Ruth stuff at the town dump.

I officially hate this thread. As I knew I would I just wasted an entire afternoon going down these damn rabbit holes. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop in the Skydash thread, was stunned when it turned out it was legit. That kinda made Bruce suing himself and corned beef all worth it...

I think the T202 Joe Jackson thread is an example of this Board at its very best. Remarkable research.

Default Gorgeous Research

Another great example of unfolding research was this thread:

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.

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).

Who is this Begsu1013 fellow?

In his post with regard to the archive/bruce attributes a post to us
that we never made.

We take our posts very seriously, and we believe that attributing a post to
Someone else is a crime.

Begsu1013 please issue am immediate apology.

We are prepared to take further action, if necessary.

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.

"I'm almost positive this card features Shoeless Joe"

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.

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.

Just read all 70 pages. Drama aside it was an amazing read. Was a conclusion ever drawn on the second possibility? I see talk of another newspaper photo, but I didn't see it anywhere.
