More Clear Award Update

Hey guys, so this is how we will run these awards, check it out

We are NOT doing entertainment awards, it'd be too much of a pain and are any of us here for that sort of thing?

Instead, these are some confirmed awards for this year:

Sports Moment of the Year (panel chooses nominees, poll will be up on any blog)
Athlete of the Year ("" "")
Coach of the Year ("" "")
Card Company of the Year (Topps, Upper Deck, Panini, Tristar, Razor)
Baseball Product of the Year (panel chooses nominees, poll)
Football Product of the Year ("" "")
Insert Set of the Year ("" "")
Autographed Insert of the Year ("" "")

Blog of the Year (you will email me, yanks1996wsc@gmail.com, or wicked ortega, wicked4life20@hotmail.com, with your nominee when we tell you to do so)
Rookie Blogger of the Year ("" "")
Trader of the Year (email whatever member in the panel is running the award with your nomination)
Biggest Box Breaker ("" "")
Most Creative ("" "")
Coolest Blog Design ("" "")

Rules for blog voting:

1. YOU CAN NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF
2. You can vote for whoever you like, but don't tell anyone who you voted for, this must be confidential.
3. It's between me & you, no one in between (other than wicked & I)
4. You can vote for us, but if you do, you cannot vote for the person running the award (example: if I am in control for blog of the year nobody can vote for me for that award, but, however, you can vote for me in the award let's say Captain Canuck is running, get it?)
5. The Panel's vote counts for 2 votes, yours counts for 1, so I suggest if you want your friend to win start voting (when we tell you to of course)

Got it?

Now, there could possibly be an exception for Rule #1, I had an idea that we could do a PC contest, Team or Player (maybe both), for a chance to win an award. If that comes true, email us with either a link to a photobucket or zistle or anything (must be a real PC, don't cheat), youtube, whatever. Let me know what you think on that too.

Beardy elected himself to make little banners that you can show off on your blogs if you win too, so you do get a semi prize

Alright, if you have any suggestions, questions or comments feel free to let me know, but for now, think with your dipstick!



Don't just watch the video READ!!!! Bye

Update on the Card Awards

Hey guys, Drew back here, nice to see some good feedback on the last few posts, now, there has been some chat going on lately between a bunch of us bloggaz, and we decided to make an ultimate blogging awards. Haven't heard back from the other commissioner of this thing, wicked ortega, but so far we've got a little panel and it's looking good so far. We do need a logo and other stuff to make this shin-dig big but this is the panel:
COMMISSIONERS:
- Wicked Ortega
- drewscards (Me)

CONFIRMED PANEL (including Wicked & I too):

- Beardy
- Priceless Pursuit
- Collective Troll
- Waxaholic
Mike Ryan (Ripken Pursuit) decided to step down yesterday, so Joe from the Priceless Pursuit joined! I've had some swirling thoughts about it lately, and I figured why not share them with you! So, I don't want any more than 30 awards, but 30 may work if all of us in the panel do 5 seperate awards on our respective blogs. My ideas on types of awards so far:

Product Awards:
Company of the Year (Topps, Upper Deck, Panini, Razor, Tristar)
Baseball Product of the Year
Football Product of the semi-Year
Blog Awards:Blog of the Year
Rookie Blogger of the Year (started January 1 on)
Most Giving (as a trader)
Biggest Box Breaker
Most Creative
Coolest Blog Design
Most Giveaways
Sports Awards:Moment of the Year
Team of the Year
Athlete of the Year
Coach of the Year

Lastly, wasn't sure if it would work or not (most of the panel doesn't like this idea), but I was thinking about Entertainment Awards, like CD of the year, Singer of the Year, Movie of the Year, TV Show of the Year, Actor/Actress of the Year, and Video Game of the Year. I sorta like the idea, mostly because I love that stuff, but not sure about you.

Also, voting has been brought up a good amount of times as well, and I wanted to let you know that voting goes like this:

-
For Awards that don't involve any of you, polls will take place over all of the blogs
-
For polls that involve you the bloggers and maybe readers, email me, wicked, Beardy, Pursuit, Canuck, or Troll with a nomination (for the panel, let us all know who voted so we can keep track)

Hopefully you guys follow me so far, be sure to see more of this on here soon,

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COMMENT TO LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS!!!!!

See Ya!

PS somethings screwed up with the font size, please excuse me blowing your eyes out of your head while technical difficulties take place

Trade with Beardy!

Hey guys, Drew back here. I've been working on my wantlists for 2009 Yankees cards I don't have plus the Cano wantlist, and Swisher will be started once Cano is finished. My Yankees PC is pretty big now, with at least 25 hits, 15 numbered cards, rookie cards of almost every current Yankee, 100 + 2009 cards, and over 75 cards of A-Rod & Jeter. It's pretty good looking right now, and now it looks even better. Beardy and I have been planning a big trade for an awful long time now. A lot of "hits" were involved, you'll see on his blog those "hits". But I got some awesome stuff, I traded him a few mixed 60's and 70's Orioles and he really liked them. Here are the 23 scans of every single one of those 85 cards Beardy sent me yesterday. Enjoy!


PS, Beardy got 2.5 points on the contest leaderboard!
