The site awards for 2017 are coming in January 2018. Members will get to vote for winners in a bevy of categories and others will be selected based on contributions to the site. January 2018 will also mark the 10th year anniversary of the site. As a countdown and retrospective, each month we’ll review the stats and present the awards as they would have gone down (minus the categories based on features that weren’t available yet or the ones that require member voting). Last month, we looked at 2009. This month, we look back at 2010.
2010 – A Look Back
Resources added included links for Card Shops, Card Shows, Forums (not our forum yet, but other trading card forums around the Internet), and Release Dates. The ability to browse by brand was added and showing the percentage of images added was implemented on set pages. The amount of blogs on the blog roll was expanded from only 10, to a growing list showing only the 10 most recently updated on the front page. The inaccuracies reporting links were added in October. Information on if and when a card was featured as Random Card of the Day was added underneath card images.
Here’s a screenshot of what the site looked like in January of 2010 courtesy of the Wayback Machine:
