The 2009 Blogger of the Year Award Goes to...

NIGHT OWL CARDS!!!!!

Congratulations Night Owl, you are the 2009 Blogger of the Year, according to the voters and myself! Post after post, even if it's a mailday, you make everything so interesting! This is the site that actually makes Dodgers cards look interesting (along with the other Dodgers fans)! Wow! You win a little trophy courtesy of me and Beardy to put on the sidebar of your blog, and show it off with as much pride as possible! Great blog and keep up the great work!



Well, that is just about it.... oh wait whats this??? Another award?

And your winner for best blog of the decade goes to..............

Wax Heaven



When I woke up in the morning, first I think, open my eyes, then stretch, but then it's either walk the dog or read Wax Heaven, the best of them all. All the constant news updates around the blogosphere and wonderful stories shared made this the most popular sports card blog of the 2000's! And now looking back on this last decade card wise, you think about Mario and his fantastic blog. Unfortunately, Mario has kind of moved on from this whole thing but hopefully he reads this. Congrats Mario for everything, Beardy will soon be designing an award for you. Mario left on a somewhat awkward note due to all of us not realizing what happened, so here's to you Mario and your once awesome blog!

Thank you all for being the best people around, I can always count on you guys! Once again thanks for the award, unfortunately I feel uncomfortable accepting it. More about that in the morning, in 2010! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

This stuff looks awesome!

Un-important Mail, BoxBuster Raffle, & Another One!

Hey guys, quite a few things to say right now. I just got home from another game, and I'm pretty proud looking at my stats this year:

AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB/HBP K BA OBP
33 14 1 2 0 5 3 2 .424 .515

My team isn't doing so well, but I'm having fun and I'm very proud of what I've accomplished!

Also, I want to wish BoxBusters a 2 day late birthday shoutout, and I am saying this not only because he's one of the best bloggers out there, but he had a nice birthday contest! All you needed to do was guess his birthday, and by saying quote in the contest rules blog entry, "Deadline to enter is May 20th", I guessed May 20th, got it right, and got into the drawing. Well, because us stupid Americans we are, barely anybody noticed this clue and not many people got it right. He threw in everyone, and did a random video. I happened to win the grand prize and got a free slot into his BoxBusters 2008 Playoff Prime Cuts IV Raffle, for a chance to win the box! For only $15, you can get a free slot to win a $200 + box for less than a blaster! Think about it, would you prefer a Hank Aaron autographed jersey card or a Kevin Millwood Game Used Pants? He only has 3 guys entered right now, and he needs guys to get in there. So, with my small fan attendence I've slowly rounded up, go sign up today!

Wax Heaven, hobby god as you may know him as, is reaching 1,000,000 visitors, and he actually recently did and currently he has 1,008,838 fans! He just finished a 5 part contest with a grand prize of a $50 DA Card World gift certificate! The 1st Contest was to win a 1/1 Ryan Howard Sketch Card from 2009 Topps, The 2nd Contest was to win a box of 08 Razor Letterman, The 3rd Contest was to win a 07 Bowman's Best Lincecum Auto, the 4th contest was to win either the Name That Ballplayer: The Ultimate “Whodunnit?” Quiz book or the 2009 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards 18th Edition DVD, and the 5th contest prize was to win a 2002 Bowman Chrome X fractor #/150! So, congrats Wax Heaven, and thanks for the contests! (I hope I win!!!)

I got some mail in today, just an 8 x 10 unsigned picture of Nick Swisher pitching to send out through the mail to him with, and it looks really nice, even better when Nick Swisher signs his name on it!
