    I'll nominate Tribecards (http://www.tribecards.net/). David's been on a bit of a hiatus as of late, but who can blame him after opening at least one pack a day during the course of the season for the Tribecards from Outer Space giveaway. I can't imagine the sorting he had to do! I need my pack ripping fix, and David provided that everyday for half the year.

    There are a ton of great blogs out there, but I've got to go with Dime Boxes -- The Low-End Baseball Card Collector's Journey (http://baseballdimebox.blogspot.com/). It's amazing what can be found in dime boxes!

    I'll select a new one, "Baseball Card Breakdown" because Gavin always gets me to click on his posts and he works hard on some very creative stuff.

    I'm throwing in a guy that makes me laugh when I read his posts, and trust me - that is not an easy thing to do (the "make me laugh" part, not the "read posts" part). AJ at The Junior Junkie
