Mudflap02's Annual PSA Board Member of the Year

mudflap02 · July 15, 2005 7:27PM

This is my contest, but I think I speak for everyone when I congratulate

STONE193

For being the member of the year. Thanks for your insight on cards, your cool head in the skankiest of threads, and your tolerance with newbies. Men want to be you, and women want to... sell your cards and buy purses. Please make the most of your mudflap, and keep in mind that it will be passed to someone else in July 2006.

Everyone else, post away - I dare you to flame this guy.

My Astros cap is off to you Sir.

jrdolan · July 15, 2005 9:51PM

I like Mike as much as anyone here, but come on now. He hasn't been banned or even reprimanded ONCE all year. He's even polite to the flame trolls, for chrissake!

Seriously, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Knuckles · July 15, 2005 9:59PM

Yaaaa, Mike!

Mac53 · July 15, 2005 10:35PM

Congratulations, Mike!

wolfbear · July 15, 2005 10:47PM

What a coincidence !

Stone was the front-runner to win an unprecedented third consecutive Wolfie award
for excellence in posting this year, but got nosed out at the last minute by ...

Just kidding ... Stone won that award again this year too.

ctsoxfan · July 15, 2005 11:31PM

I'll drink a beer to this -

Heck, I'll drink a beer to just about anything though!

Congrats, Mike!

Stingray · July 15, 2005 11:49PM

Allright Stone

We all like your posts!!!

I completely agree with the selection. Congrats Mike. Will Don West be the guest speaker at the award banquet?

WinPitcher · July 16, 2005 1:36AM

I am holding off on congratulating my friend Mike, I want to see how this thread pans out first.

No.......it will be an old overweight Adam West in full Batman costume.....

Uh oh - do I detect the possibility that mudflap is going somewhere else with this thread? Better have another beer then...

AkbarClone · July 16, 2005 1:54AM

I am for Stone winning the award. He is a great poster and a standup guy!

stevek · July 16, 2005 1:54AM

Maybe this is going to be a spam thread to promote Mike's company, Pogo Stick Grading. Perhaps Mudflap just became a major shareholder and was named Vice President.

A conspiracy theory! I love those. Hmm remember when Dave Foreman started tearing apart PSA and pimping SGC, his new grader of choice? Shortly thereafter SGC announced Foreman was their new president .... So muddy, if you are a newly appointed executive of PogoStick Grading, you'd better come clean now before the rumors start flying.

Congrats Mike

eyebone · July 16, 2005 6:11AM

I have not been on the board long, but whenever Mike writes something I find it worth reading. GG Mike.

iamthegreatcornholio · July 16, 2005 6:46AM

Mike is one of the best!

ctsoxfan · July 16, 2005 6:48AM

Mike sucks!

Of course, I'm kidding!

phreakydancin · July 16, 2005 8:56AM

Mike, this one's for you!

Ah, what the heck, these TWO are for you!

Basilone · July 16, 2005 9:02AM

Mike...is the man. nuff said.

Griffins · July 16, 2005 9:05AM

I would have posted earlier, but I just spent the morning with my son, opening and sorting thru a box of Dinosaur Attacks packs that Mike had sent him a few months back. Griffin's joy at putting together the sets was equaled only by my feeling of thanks for having a friend like Mike.
Good choice, does he get slabbed in a special holder now?

detroitfan2 · July 16, 2005 9:44AM

I also agree with this year's winner. I didn't hear who was runner-up though? I'm going to go with Knuckles, who will undoubtedly find a way to slab his mud-flap along with a cut autograph of Ken Dryden.

MorrellMan · July 16, 2005 9:50AM

Couldn't happen to a better gentleman. Mike is the classiest fellow on this board, a nice guy I consider my friend - always willling to offer up insight from his vast storehouse of knowledge. Next to Mikey, my storehouse is only half-vast....

So dude, what are we gonna do with the prize money?

Carew29 · July 16, 2005 11:05AM

Congrat's Mike

"Never tell a joke that ain't funny more than once!!"

TNP777 · July 16, 2005 12:37PM

Well, where's the honoree? We want a speech or somethin'.

Congrats Mike!

sando69 · July 16, 2005 1:07PM

can only add that i hope to someday have the privelege & honor of meeting mike stone in person!
and... thanks for everything, mike!

SoFLPhillyFan · July 16, 2005 1:37PM

Hoooaaaaahhh.

To The Top!!!!

Congrats Mike.

mudflap02 · July 16, 2005 4:43PM

And Mr. Stone-

You can definitely be expecting a strange package in the mail soon. Ask pAndrews about strange packages (he knows about more than one kind of strange package, but preface it with baseball cards in the mail).

Congrats for winning this prestigious award. The Academy spent weeks covening before the final results were delivered.

Peetie · July 16, 2005 9:06PM

Congrats Mike,

All the kinds words in this thread are well-deserved. Any question that is asked, you know that Mike is going to throw something out there that is on the money. Thanks for all the help!

Stone must be busy writing an acceptance speech..

here is my gift to Stone..

Stone193 · July 17, 2005 4:16AM

<< Stone must be busy writing an acceptance speech..

It’s short Perry.

Thanx! To be recognized by peers/friends is an honor.

Keep in mind, anyone here is only as good as the great company they keep.

It’s a privilege to meet with you all every day and exchange our thoughts on what most would agree is a passion. Why we do it, is a personal/individual thing.

Your friend
Mike

Stone193 · July 17, 2005 4:22AM

And, finally a picture is worth a thousand words! And, I've spoken these often!!!

pandrews · July 17, 2005 4:59AM

Onlypsahockey · July 17, 2005 5:46AM

Congrats Mike.

Truely worthy of all accolades...and these...

enjoy!

lostdart58 · July 17, 2005 5:55AM

This fine thread for a fine gentleman has proceeded to go right down the crapper!!:

stevek · July 17, 2005 5:55AM

It's really a shame that a thread initially designed to congratulate Mike for all of his fine posts, has disintegrated into nothing but a tawdry spectacle devoted to females with large breasts.

...and I'm loving it

67standup · July 17, 2005 6:55AM

Mike's awesome!

I'm happy with my 89th place finish.

Stone193 · July 17, 2005 7:56AM

I'm sorry for running this down hill.

It's just we all know that we can never stay serious for more than 10 minutes!

Lostdart - I know what you're saying - and I think the humor of the chests as a metaphor was missed.

My point: this is a great hobby and IMO, should not be taken too seriously in the big picture of life.

When we hold on too tight - and some debates have gone that way - it eventually "holds on to us."

Mike

Mac53 · July 17, 2005 9:51AM

Boobs, boobs boobs. What's wrong with boobs? It's Mike's award, so if he wants to show boobs, he can!

ctsoxfan · July 17, 2005 10:07AM

<< This fine thread for a fine gentleman has proceeded to go right down the crapper!!:

I agree - but I am sure Mike won't mind a bit!

Knuckles · July 17, 2005 10:26AM

WinPitcher · July 18, 2005 9:31AM

I would rather see her in a 34 c............myself

Mac53 · July 18, 2005 10:02AM

I'd pay $1.00 to watch her ride on a roller coaster.

Stone193 · July 22, 2005 5:53AM
