The all-time best of Net 54

[the 'stache]

Being a relatively new member of the forum, it is clear to me that I have missed a great many memorable discussions held in the past. Why earlier today, in a thread about T202 cards started by JoeyF1981, reference was made to a topic from two tears ago. It focused on a single T202 card with an unidentified ball player sliding into a tag at third base. As the discourse evolved, photographic evidence was provided, and meticulously scrutinized. Several members came to the conclusion that the player in question was none other than "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Though not everybody agreed, I felt the conversation was nonetheless a classic example of what was possible here; it showcased the incredible baseball knowledge, and analytical minds Net 54's members possess.

After reading that topic, I began to wonder what other great discussions I might have missed. So, I'd like to ask our longtime members to nominate, if you will, threads from the past that they feel achieved distinction. Please provide links.

I am doing this for the benefit of newer members who would like to learn about the history of the forum (myself included). I feel it would be greatly educational, as these wonderful conversations should be preserved.
