Awards Recap & Mailday

Hey guys, Drew back here, last night was a long one but it seems that everyone is happy with the outcome of our awards. We didn't get that many votes, so that part wasn't great, but for the most part everything went well. Thanks to all who voted and made it (somewhat) possible, and thanks to all the nominees for providing an awesome source of entertainment in my life. I think the awards went to some of the best in the business, even though they don't wanna admit it. So, thanks for everything guys, and now it is time to move on!

What better way to move on than posting some mail I got quite a while ago, from reader John. I've seen his name in trades a few times now, and he certainly impressed me! Due to all the holidays and awards I will have yours shipped Monday if you're reading. Also, I got 3 packages in from the Blowout Forum and Sports Card Forum. I made a mistake on the video saying only 2 from those sites but it's really 3, sorry about that. I've now made 5 trades on Blowout and 6 on SCF. Not bad. Check them out!

The 2009 Rookie Blog of the Year Award goes to...

THE COLLECTIVE TROLL

Hey guys, Drew back here, the awards will be announced starting at 8:00 tonight on the blog. We haven't gotten any voters, and while talking to Beardy he says polls would be the best thing to do. Unfortunately there is barely any time left for this so we can not do polls. The voting period is not over yet, so I'll run a how to on voting one more time and hopefully everyone reading this gets their votes in. I may have been a little confusing but I've been so busy and this thing has been a lot of work, and I'm not sure if I'm going to do this next year. Anyway, here is a how to on voting:

So, you should be emailing me your 6 votes, 1 for each of the 6 categories. The reason why I decided not to do polls were if let's say I didn't get a single vote for an award I would probably be upset. It's certainly not the end of the world, but it would kinda stink. So, please if you have not done this yet please vote, before 8:00 you partiers! I actually have my uncle and aunt and cousins coming for a few days, so I'm not sure if I'll have time to post the awards one at a time, so maybe at midnight I'll announce them all. We'll see. Happy New Year to all! See Ya!
