Thread of the Year Award

For most of the last 5 years, we have nominated and named a poster of the year, and given them the coverted and yet imaginary, Mike Stone Award, named from the first honory.
(Interestingly, there is a good chance you will get banned or just pretty much leave if you win it.)
I have no nomination for the Mike Stone Award, however I suggest we continue to this tradition, with a new Thread of the Year Award. I also nominate another Mike as the first recepiant, and suggest we present a thekid8 Thread of the Year Award.
I would also like to give an honorable mention to BunchOBulls, 1990 Topps NNOF Thread. Although technically, that should like be a 2009 nomination. (This is a write-in ballot).
Clear Skies,
Mark

+1

BTW I'll give a +1 to Mike winning this year.
Carter thread is a close second. Also a fun thread to read.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
JK. I always enjoy looking at his new additions and Marks additions in the yearbook thread.
2 Great members of this board!
I think 'Rookie Member of the Year' should go to Muggyman!
75% drama + 15% Wrestling education + 10% altered facebook pics = thread of the year IMO..
Always buying Bobby Cox inserts. PM me.
Second place to the collective DPeck wrestling threads (too closely related to separate) for the education and insight into what was before a little-known subgroup of collecting.
<< <i>I also vote for the Gary Carter thread. He hasn't missed a beat! Mike Navarro came in a very close second. >>
+1
Mike's threads do.
Also, Mark's yearbook thread, even though it creeped the heck out of my girlfriend.
And, of course the thread Mcadams mentioned, "1982 Wrestling All Stars Hulk Hogan" the original was great.
But IMO it should be the NNOF thread. In 2010 a lot happened. The cumulative efforts of the core posters in that thread for 2010 were able to get the theory published and the errors recognized by Beckett on their flips.
2010 was a rewarding year for those involved in the NNOF thread.
+1 for the NNOF thread.
I get so much enjoyment watching the RIP's that I have to point to both Muggyman and fergie23 for their awesome adventures into the unopened packs!
You never know what you're gonna get, but it will be fun. Muggy has been the more prominent recently, but over the course of the year they both have
had some really cool stuff.
+1 Muggyman
+1 fergie23

How could I forget Muggy and Fergie!
Mugg's videos are fun to watch and Fergie's rips have been a blast to see for years.

These two members are why i came back to this place
WTB: PSA 1 - PSA 3 Centered, High Eye Appeal 1950's Mantle
in spite of its ultimate trainwreckery, the replies and some of the good humor were worth it......and Tommy handled it well.
in all seriousness, the fact that not just one or two, but several lasting threads have been worth reading and preserving says a lot about this forum, and in spite of itself, it does give us a lot of memorable times.
Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
<< <i> Their two members are why i came back to this place >>
That's hawt!!
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
If so, I think someone like thenavarro who provides a ton of information and enthusiasm would be a good winner.

<< <i>i really appreciate it anytime a member of this community takes the time to post pictures for the board to enjoy. >>
I agree, except that I think Mike might be holding out the best pictures.
if so, the year aint over...
belated honorable mention for him...

<< <i>was the work of summerof68 done this year...

It was super rushed (don't know why) and given out before the year was over.
Nominations should have been discussed for a couple weeks with another week for voting.
And you're right, year isn't over with. Summerof68 did some fantastic detective work with pack selling fraud.
But, eh, it's all for fun right and Mike's TTM thread does rock!
