Updated brackets:
Junior
Senior

First, thank you to everyone who voted in the first round, and otherwise participated (bumping the thread, responding to people, etc.) That last part, in particular, really helped move things along and I appreciate it.

13 matchups this time, and, again, please vote in all. It also really helps me while counting if you put your vote in bold or if you just do a list. Voting ends in 48 hours.

Last, let's not vote on our own matchup this round. Honestly, it was a dumb idea by me. I thought that it would be a small bonus for making sure to vote, and that it would cancel out by everyone voting on their own collection. In practice, some did that, while others felt that they should vote on the other's (both choices being fully understandable). With this ambiguity and the fact that some of the rounds were exceptionally close, I don't think that it is fair to vote on our own.

Double elim, though, so whoever loses is still alive.

Whoops! Sorry about that. I corrected the link, and sent an email to those that already voted for EricChavezCollector3 to make sure that they did find your blog to view as well.

You switched up the Haren/Webb pages...Haren belongs to Reds in 06 and Webb belongs to the other dude...

Geez, I'm off tonight. I even clicked through all the links to make sure they were working, but somehow missed the Zambrano error and this. More PMs forthcoming...

edit: And thanks for pointing it out!

This is the exact reason why this is a dumb idea. Seriously no offense to carlitosan, but the link to your bucket shows 12 cards. According to your checklist, thats 12/13 of the possible cards availible but its also the biggest joke Ive even seen . TNP777, has a collection that isnt even in the same catagory as 12/13. I wasnt going to enter because I figured this crap would happen and I wasnt wrong.

Im out, add another bye. While your at it, add a vote for TNP777.

Have fun with your popularity contest. :?

Ya know, I'm not postive if that last piece was directed at me ("have fun with your"...), but it certainly feels that way and I'm not too happy about it. I'm not saying that all of the votes have been well thought out and rationalised---I've certainly been on the short end of the stick with some of them, just as I have when this was done the BMB. Indeed, we've both done these before, and we both knew when entering that inevitably part of this would be a popularity contest.

All the same, I've spent hours on this, and worked my butt off to try to make it all run smoothly. I'm not trying to make this into a popularity contest, as if I would win one; my hope was that everyone could view some nice collections and hopefully have a bit of fun.

Part of what you are saying is certainly true. However, I think you chose a very poor way of expressing it, and it feels like a personal attack on me.

No need to be a tool about it. Why attack LWMM? He was very nice to put his time and effort into this. Also, I commend him for allowing said person to enter with 12 cards. He allowed ANYONE to enter. How would you feel if he shut you down and barred you from entering because you had too many cards?

I didnt attack you in anyway. You clearly have an opinion already formed about this and thats fine. Your effort is actually appreciated, your attitude is not. This had nothing to do with you, you decided to add that aspect. I was simply stating a point, that is a fact.

Further to that, I voted for your collection every chance I had.

I never said anything negitive towards LWMM, in fact, Ive always made positive posts regarding his collection.

I'm sending you a PM. Other than that, let's just use this thread to vote.

You made that assumption, I never said anything bad about LWMM. I was speaking of the process, you of all people should be able to see that.

As an observer I'd like to voice my opinion on the matter.

First of all I think this conversation should be dropped, and this thread used expliciltly for voting as apposed to argueing.

Thumper, in no way did you come out and personally take a shot at LWMM, but as an observer you came off like it was a shot at him. Whether you meant to or not, to me it came off like it was a shot. I'm not trying to start any more little arguements, I'm just trying to clear the air. Nobody is ganging up on you or anything, its just that you came off as insulting LWMM
