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.

My collection seems to always be in a state of great disorganization so I really enjoy and envy the Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Photos to Share thread.

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.
