best net 54 threads of alltime?

[Paul S]

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.

Always wondered what happened to the 2 Ruth jerseys that were never found. It was a fun read.....

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...

Travels of Large Ass may be the best thread on the internet.

Large Ass for sure...

but, (no pun intended there) I always enjoy what Frank and Bill have to say.

Once a band releases a "Greatest Hits" album their career is all but over. Please no, not net54 too

Speaking of which I got him back in the mail today. He needs to make another journey....He likes the National as he's around a lot of old friends but I won't be going this year. Anyone up to him tagging along for a few selfies and a good time? He's a cheap date!!

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

[jonvancouver]

Corned Beef Hash is by far the best.

Another great example of unfolding research was this thread:

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).
