I agree with the posts mentioned above. They are great reads.

I would also nominate the one on the "Black Old Mill Overprints." There is some great detective work by board members, especially Wonka.

Default How I found Net54

One of my favorite threads probably wouldn't interest a lot folks on this forum, because there are no baseball players in the T218 set, but it's one that makes this site so great. I'll always rememebr it because it is the one that brought me to Net54 (through a google search). It's in the Boxing/Wrestling cards section and is over four years old, and hasn't been updated since last fall, but I still refer to it from time to time:

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...highlight=T218

One thing I think a lot of new members don't realize is how easy it is to search and find old threads on this site. Or how easy it is to just go back through previous pages and see threads from recents days/weeks.


PS - Bill, I don't know the history or reason for your avatar, but I thought of it this past weekend in Cooperstown. I had a great conversation with Mr. Fingers at the Otesaga Hotel on Sunday morning. Nice guy.

When Net54 got switched over from Network54.com to its own standalone site, I archived all of the T206 discussions I could find on the old forum on my website. I catalogued them by topic as a resource. You can see them all at www.T206Collector.com

Here is the links. Jim Rivera was a big part of this as well as Dan McKee and Rob Lifson along with a pretty cool FBI agent.

Part 2 Leon blew the first thread up...silly rabbit.

Here is where the scammer Pat Chan owner of T206museum was pretending to be other folks on the board.

The Andrew thread got me thinking about all my past killing time while on the phone Photoshop’s I can’t remember why I made some of them but thought I would post some older pics from days gone by….there have been some really funny images folks have posted over the years.






Barry & Leon I seem to have done a lot of Barry I guess because if you know Barry he's the nicest most laid back guy you will meet and it was just funny to picture Barry in these polar opposite lives in these images…or I have an odd man crush you pick…

You would have to do a search to find it but there was a great post a few years back about E121 different backs and Koester Bread cards.

John- your photo of the FBI agent on the park bench gets my vote as one of those priceless moments on Net54.

One way to see big topics is to sort by "hits"

John, those pictures are incredible.

How do the kids say it nowadays...? You have "leet" Photoshop skills. Chapeau, sir, chapeau!

I did a Google lookup on Barry, and though he's one of the most respected people in the hobby, it cracks me up that some of your "creations" accompany any information that comes about him.

Between those, and Chuck's Mona Lisa, I am laughing hard tonight.

Chuck, I will be on my deathbed (hopefully many, many years from now), and still laughing about this:





The first time I saw that in the Nun's Wagner thread, I completely lost it. It was the perfect picture at the perfect time.

I so love this place. Outside of the occasional visit to the Brewer or Packer forums I frequent, this is pretty much the only website I need on a daily basis.
