But I once did go back through all the pages when we were around 30 and there is some really cool stuff in here

I would suggest one thing that might make it a bit easier to at least see if a variation has been listed earlier. Be sure to put the name of the card you are showing, not just "small green blotch below eye". I try and do this with all of my net 54 posts-- leave an identifier. When you go to google, type the name of the identifier and net54, and it should pull up a link. Obviously this doesn't help much for players with common names or superstars who have hundreds of related posts, but it can help. For example, Swarmee just posted a Bowman card of Lloyd Merriman. I googled Merriman net54 and the first link shown is the one he just posted, and the google listing said it was under "Show me your print variations" p. 55. Also worked for Beckert shown on the same page. You might have to sift through a few listings, but I have found it helpful many times on specific matters I know are buried somewhere on net54. Obviously this system would work best if everyone did it, but hey, baby steps.
