Looking for a specific thread/post on Net54

[asoriano]

I don't know why this popped into my head, but does anyone recall from way back, probably in the early days of Net54, a Cracker Jack Cobb that got ripped into tiny bits?

I believe the forum member was hoping for a better grade by cracking it out of its slab, but it kept coming back labeled as altered. After being deemed as trimmed for what felt like the hundredth time, he decided to tear it apart and posted it right here on Net54.

Does anyone recall this amazing thread? Or is it just me? I would really like to see the scan if it still exists after all these years.

If you type certain keywords into Google, and include net54 with your keywords, you can often find certain net54 threads that way.

NO I don't remember that particular thread - but James is right. That is the best way to search on N54

I don't remember this thread, and I have been on this board for over 20 years. Perhaps it is a nightmare induced by heavy Net54 usage...?

I do recall a card getting shredded because 'player bad' followed by shunning and quickly followed up by mea-culpa comments. Not sure if this is the player or not.

That sounds vaguely familiar; however, I think the player was Hal Chase.

It was Chase, I don't remember all the details but the poster was disgusted to have it in his collection. I think it was during the crazy Covid era when we were all locked up.
Not sure if it's the one op is looking for but I do remember the Chase thread.

That's the one, poor James, who is a good guy/member got pretty beat up back then.
Covid was a pretty interesting time on this sub in retrospect.

Yes it was me. And yes I was publicly INCINERATED for having admitted to it.

I couldn't believe what I read about Chase. He made 8 men out look like kindergarten.

Yes, I could have sold or given the card away. But I got caught up in a fit of apoplexy and destroyed it.

Reminds me of when I decided to buy a bait caster - After 10 cast and 10 backlashes .... Yes I should’ve gifted it to somebody but it’s at the bottom of a river in six pieces - Still don’t understand the purpose of a bait caster
