    How can you have a blog of the year without Cardboard Junkie?

    Wow Wes... I appreciate the nomination. Domo arigato.

    I nominate the Captain for his fine work on Just A Bit Offside. It was a tough choice between that and Waxaholic... both are awesome.

    I think I will nominate Colbey from Cardboard Collections. He inspired me to try my hand at group breaks and is a very good blogger.

    I nominate Wrigley Wax. Go Cubs! And if you ever need to know what game a particular card depicts, run it by WW. He'll figure it out. It's not magic but sometimes it seems like it. Also he has about the most organized collection you'll ever see. Puts me to shame.

    Great noms so far. Hope to see more and more. Tell your friends. I'm adding a pimping prize to the pot. If you promote this contest on your blog, I will include you in a random.org for a special prize.

  16. Play at the PlateDecember 19, 2011 at 3:32 AM

    What a great list so far! I'm not sure I agree with The Dimwit's nominee though...

    I'd like to nominate a bunch of guys and gals. Honestly I hate to only nominate one because there are many that deserve it, but I'll go with the Community Gum boys.

    I'd like to nominate Wrigley Wax. His ability to pinpoint the exact game that a card photo was taken should not go unrecognized. And yes, I am somewhat biased, being a fellow Cubs fan. Whatever.

  19. RobertDecember 19, 2011 at 10:19 PM

    I will nominate the Lifetime Topps Project Blog...

    Hey, there's still a few left!

    I'll go with SewingMachineGuy on Cards. He always makes me click on his blog to see what he's saying. And I don't even like MMA or the Lions.

    Gotta back up Dayf, but I'm not sure if he actually runs a sports cards blog or a ponies blog anymore. Hopefully I'll be able to post regularly in 2012.

    I'd like to nominate 30-Year-Old Cardboard. Brian cranks out posts like the Duggar's do kids!

  32. Napkin DoonDecember 21, 2011 at 11:59 PM

    Man this is tough since there are about 10 blogs I can think of off the top of my head that I would love to nominate. I haven't seen Bob Lemke's Blog nominated, so I'll give it a nod. Great idea on the contest!

  33. WilsonDecember 22, 2011 at 10:59 AM

    Cards on Cards, though I might be a bit biased as a fellow Cardinal fan. I would have also said Daily Dimwit but he's already been mentioned several times.

    I wish you wouldn't have done that Skroeker, as my blog is no where near the level of the heavy hitters on the list, but I appreciate the nomination.

    I'd like to nominate Robert at "30 dollar a week habit".

    Colbey's joint, Cardboard Collections, deserves consideration. The affordable group breaks, the Sunday Verse posts, along with lots of hobby news make it one I almost always check out.
    As for the best... Thorzul still rules.

    While I don't drop by every day I'll vote for Community Gum. If I get a 2nd vote I'll say the Sewing Machine Guy on Cards as his posts are always a good read and he's been super supportive of me.

  46. RJDecember 23, 2011 at 1:32 PM

    I'd nominate Baseball by the Letters. Maybe not always cardboard focused, but definitely constantly updated with TTM and baseball memories.

  47. Community GumDecember 23, 2011 at 4:20 PM

    Though it's difficult to choose just one, it's hard not to vote for Night Owl. Greg is dedicated and an excellent writer and has inspired us over at the Gum to improve our posts and to try to post more frequently (we're one for two so far!).

    I'd say awesome job to everyone nominated, but let's not forget that this isn't a job for any of us which makes it all the more impressive that there are so many bloggers creating solid content just for the fun of it. Thanks for the nomination and your own blog! -Andy
