Best pack pull-the guy that pulled the leinart bush jersey auto /10 outta one pack

Woooo!

I'll have to see what I can see before I nominate anybody.

If you say it slowly it rhymes more

I will have to nominate Brian (northerhero) for the best trader of the year and Bob_Tcc for the most generous trader of the year!!

This should be fun!

-Bob

The Maroney SPX Auto/Shield has gotta be the pull of the year value wise.

Box Break of the year--Steve. That Pujols pull was sweet!!

Most Generous--Steve. NFL Predict Three, Square Games, etc. He cannot not be nominated

I will have to look through topics for some of these, but here are a few:

1. Pack Pull of the Year - straightbutta - the Maroney Shield/autograph 1/1
8. Most Generous Member of the Year - from personal experience - kooljazz1966


A few of these will be really hard to pick!

Do we post our nominations? Or PM them?

Good question.

I would say either way is fine. If you want your nominations to be private, just send them to Ken in a PM. If you are fine with the nominations being public, feel free to post them.

-Bob

This is tough....I'm trying to make certain that I nominate each member only one time.

I dont think you can nominate yourself

You nominated yourself???

It's allowed, but...

-Bob

By the way, I don't think it's necessary to nonimate a unique member for every award. If the same person deserves everything, then they deserve everything.

-Bob

I think I spread everything out well enough. I feel each member I nominated was deserving in their own unique way.

Understood. I just don't want others to think that there's a "rule" requiring unique nominations for each category.

-Bob

I was having a little trouble at first, but after I finished, I think it worked out fine.

1. Pack Pull of the Year-- straightbutta14
2. Box Break of the Year--aceecards
3. Steal of the Year-- snkpoct
4. Trade of the Year-- aceecards and MVPujols
5. Best Member Topic-- skatalite
6. Best Member Profile-- acampione
7. Best Trader of the Year-- northicehero99
8. Most Generous Member of the Year-- aceecards
9. Newcomer of the Year/ROY (member since 2006 to present)-- msuwendy
10. Member of the Year/MVP-- tarasadie17

I would say that you should use the same criteria as you did for Member of the Year.

-Bob

We have a large rookie class this year, don't we?

Done and done.

I dont think I officially qualify as a rookie. I joined in Oct of 05 and then was here a month and took ill. Didnt come back till 06.

It's probably decided on join date. But still, around 7000 or so of the members here joined in 2006!

way too many candidates

1. Pack Pull of the Year: straightbutta14
2. Box Break of the Year: aceecards
7. Best Trader of the Year: Bob TCC
8. Most Generous Member of the Year: kooljazz1966
10. Member of the Year/MVP: kooljazz1966

That's all I know now off the top of my head.

I prefer members post your nominations to this topic thread in order to keep my inbox down to something manageable. But, pm me if you like.

yes i did nominate myself. here is the explanation. many people know nothing about me. but Bob and Acee know everything that has gone on. from what iv made of myself, againest wat i was becoming is extremely wonderful

Chip,

I understand and will simply say that I am proud of you.

-Bob

but you still nominated yourself. That would be like me saying I should be eligible because I was only around for 1 month in 05 and active starting in 06.

Good explanation!

I nominated mysself.

What is the big deal. I nominated myself in student council elections and won. It's the same concept.

ditto to that..

I am extremely proud of all you have accomplished In life and a collector..

wow i got 2 votes! i am excited i think i may cry nah just kidding but thanks to you 2 and congrats to everyone being nominated! great idea ken!

I decided to avoid nominating myself for anything, but in that case I guess it's fine.

give me a lil while and mine will be perfect

I agree with that steal!

That's one I had to edit. I forgot about that for a while.

Can't let you get away with calling me out kudos go to the TCC Staff!

Honestly i dont care what it would be like to you.

Chip
