Nice Gesture by PSA - Free SMR & PSA Legendary Set Calendar

Basilone · January 3, 2005 10:40AM

I just wanted to say thanks to PSA for sending out a free SMR & 2005 PSA Legendary Sets Calendar. I received it in the mail today even though I have not subscribed to the SMR for a better part of a year.

Thanks!

Since I paid for Joe Orlando's daughter's braces this year, I want one of those calendars!

Vargha · January 3, 2005 12:50PM

Joe's daughter is Miss February, I hear.

ctsoxfan · January 3, 2005 1:40PM

First, I miss out on the 4SC Christmas card, and now I miss out on the PSA calendar -

Vargha · January 3, 2005 1:50PM

From the calendar . . .

jrdolan · January 3, 2005 2:35PM

I just knew they had a company jet. But where did they get the go-go dancers from Laugh-In?

wolfbear · January 3, 2005 2:43PM

I like Miss April :

Cubfan · January 3, 2005 9:32PM

Those aren't dancers, those are the famous Joe Orlando singers.

You might be too young to remember some of their hits like "You may be a 6oc to others, but you are a 10 to me" and they pushed the envelope with the controversial "Good Slabbin'".

Joe Orlando & Dawn! I remember now. But I thought those girls were a little, uh, darker.

Ripken · January 4, 2005 12:02AM

Other golden oldies by the Orlando singers:

"The qualifier is... I'm married"

"You're Nothing but a High Pop Common"

"He Had Sharp Corners and a Gem Mint Mind"

And their ripoff of an old Simple Minds hit..

"Magnify Yourself"

jayhawke · January 4, 2005 6:34AM

Which one do I like more, the groovy hats or the one piece shirts? I pick the shirts.

JoeOrlando · January 4, 2005 10:00AM

Thanks for the kind words...

FYI - Free calendars and SMR's were sent to every Collector Club Member, Set Registrant and PSA Authorized dealer - we printed a ton of them.

If you haven't received one yet, I am sure it will arrive soon.

Take care and thanks for everything in 2004,

Joe Orlando
PSA president

pandrews · January 4, 2005 10:03AM

Thanks for your help, Joe.. I appreciate it..

elway65 · January 4, 2005 10:20AM

"Magnify Yourself."

Now that's funny.

Don't forget Tears for Fears' classic, "Start of the Crackout, I don't understand you."

RobE · January 4, 2005 11:15AM

What on earth did Vargha do to earn a ban?

boggs301012 · January 4, 2005 11:22AM

Can Vargha still attend the Luncheon at the National?

And was this thread / Varghas comments the reason he was banned? Joe you did'nt think Vargha was been rude did you ? Just curious I will miss his hobby experience and knowlege.

James

RobE · January 4, 2005 11:37AM

James,I think he's taken up so much server space someone decided he had to go out on top.Shameful to see this when people who come on here to make everyone miserable and raise nothing but hell are able to return when they feel like being a malignant tumor.

Aside from the mysetrious warranting of a ban I will mark this day forever on my calendar if I'm privilidged enough to receive one.Heh...what a trade off - David for a pleasant gift.

Buccaneer · January 4, 2005 11:54AM

You know, I got to like the gesture too - for a more selfish reason. I have this spot next to my desk on the wall beneath one of my card displays for a calendar. But all the nice ones I picked up after Christmas were too big for that spot. Now this comes and not only does it fit perfectly, but it's probably the most appropriate calendar to put up since it goes nicely with the displays.

Note to self: Keep the bashing of PSA to a minimum.

RobE · January 4, 2005 12:02PM

<<

Where is a PSA bashing anywhere on this thread?

All I see is lighthearted humor with no ill intent.

Buccaneer · January 4, 2005 12:19PM

Rob, that was a note to myself. Sorry that was not clear. I am not a Club Member and don't see any logical reason to become one. I like to pick on the commodization of cards in hermetically-sealed plastic slabs and the prices people pay for that privilege. Now I'll just pick on that issue a little less since I do like the calendar.

RobE · January 4, 2005 12:29PM

Ha! or should I say Heh...

is the calendar nice?

Post a pic if you can.

Cubfan · January 4, 2005 11:16PM

Actually the calendar is nice. It came with my renewal package so I just thought it was a part of that package. It has a key set represented for each month and, if I remember correctly, has all sports covered. It also has key shows already marked on the calendar (which will help me plan ahead for the Chicago shows).

koby · January 5, 2005 12:13AM

Thanks PSA!

I was initially upset with the Vargha banning, but this more than makes up for it!

theBobs · January 5, 2005 12:44AM

Heh

pandrews · January 5, 2005 12:49AM

<< Heh >>

i called dibs on "heh" in the other thread..

theBobs · January 5, 2005 12:51AM

Heh?

aconte · January 5, 2005 12:55AM

Can I get a 1 year membership with SMR, online pop reports, free subs, and next year's
calender to get rid of some other CU members? If so I say dump BKAH. His posts annoy many
and he offers little on these boards. He's really a pain in the arse.

Carol,

You can send me a pm if you agree and if you need my shipping address.

Thanks,

aconte

thegemmintman · January 5, 2005 12:59AM

Aconte - bring back the Underdog icon, at least after football season

aconte · January 5, 2005 1:12AM

<< Aconte - bring back the Underdog icon, at least after football season >>

Gem, Definitely will after the season's over for the Birds. I just added the icon to show
my support. The Eagle's gang on the Sports Talk forum has got to stick together and
show their unity. It's a tough bunch over there.

1420sports · January 5, 2005 3:33AM

agreed

boggs301012 · January 5, 2005 4:37AM

I recieved my free calender today . Thank you PSA that is very thoughtful. I enjoyed last years calender so I look forward to using this years. I especialy liked February , my birth month and those cracker jacks look nice.

James

jimtb · January 5, 2005 7:39AM

Got my calendar today. The pictures are great! Thanks PSA!

JordanB · January 5, 2005 8:26AM

<< Joe's daughter is Miss February, I hear. >>

hmmm, that is funny, cause in a different thread link, the sports moderator 1 said "family is sacred. The OF might attack those outside of our board, but we do not make statements regarding our children which might be construed in a negative light. It just ain't right. End of discussion". seems like not everyone got his memos about "family sensitivity".

CardKrazy · January 6, 2005 2:49AM

Thats my HERO from childhood! Manila John! Have a Happy New Year! Krazy

Basilone · January 6, 2005 4:06PM

Krazy-

It was a pleasure to hear your story where you got to see him as a little kid when he was promoting war bonds during WWII.

Allahisgreat · January 7, 2005 12:55AM

Who are these women on picture on new PSA calendar? In my country we stone to death harlots who dress as such. A fine company like PSA should not be wise to publish such pictures.

RipublicaninMass · January 7, 2005 1:02AM

Don't worry, here is June's

CON40 · January 7, 2005 4:47AM

It's a nice calendar.

BigKidAtHeart · January 7, 2005 6:11AM

<< I just wanted to say thanks to PSA for sending out a free SMR & 2005 PSA Legendary Sets Calendar. Thanks! >>

I got mine yesterday.
I like the calender a lot
(and needed one as a matter if fact!)

But did notice that they added
ADs at the bottom of each month
that were not there on Last year's calender.
**We should probably thank them too,
as THEY are the ones who likely covered
the brundt of the costs of this very gracious gift.

so, Thanks guys!!

1967topps · January 8, 2005 3:22PM

And who can forget their mainstream hits:

Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the GEM MINT 10
Say Has anyone seen my Sweet Lou Whitaker
Submit Three Times (on the special if you want to)
Look in my Collection Pretty Woman
Can Grade Her
and their remake of
He Can't Grade It (like I grade it)

phreakydancin · January 13, 2005 3:15AM

I just wanted to say a big THANKS to PSA for the complimentary calendar and issue of SMR. Considering that I am not a Collectors Club member and only a set registrant, this was a class move, and the calendar is awesome.

stormsurge · January 13, 2005 3:41AM

The calender was great. I started collecting the Cracker Jacks after seeing them for the first time in the calender...

AISAVDBBALLINPHILLY · January 13, 2005 5:21AM

The calendar is really, really cool. Thanks PSA.

RobE · January 13, 2005 8:31AM

Very nice calendar.I do appreciate it.
Thank you PSA and beyond.

Did the forum's Son of David get one?

Why ask why?.....

Bud Dry..

thefootballcardstore · January 13, 2005 8:49AM

<< FYI - Free calendars and SMR's were sent to every Collector Club Member, Set Registrant and PSA Authorized dealer - we printed a ton of them. >>

So this explains why I received three of them. I had thought the mailing software when crazy.

Wow, way to look the gift horse in the mouth...backhanded thank yous are the best way to show your gratitude!

elway65 · January 13, 2005 10:23AM

The calendar was the greatest gift I've ever received in my entire life. It so incredibly awesome and just so beautiful and I'm so grateful for the cool calendar you gave me because I don't have many calendars...and certainly not one as completely wonderful as this particular one. Thanks for everything PSA. You guys rule!
