March 4, 2018 was the inaugural “Call to the Hall” for the Sports Cards & Memorabilia – TUBER – Hall of Fame 2018. This prestigious honor is given to the You Tube channels within the sports card community that are considered the best of the best. To my surprise there was a total of 142 different channels that received at least one vote. I only knew of about 40 channels but there are channels that have been side-lined and still are fan favorites. Collectors were allowed to vote by either posting a video on their channel or by posting a comment on Baseball Collectors video published on February 21, 2018. The rules for voting were:
- You can’t vote for yourself.
- You can only vote for up to 10 Tubers.
- Tuber has to be posting videos for at least one year.
- Tuber must have at least 100 videos posted.
There was a total of 100 ballots cast and 835 total votes entered. Mike Moynihan the Commissioner, explained it well. “In this community there are vintage collectors, set collectors, TTMers, and player super collectors. There is HOF Guru’s and graded card specialist.” Overall there is diversity. But that’s not all. What you also have is a mutual love and respect for each other. In other words the You Tube sports card community is family and one can definitely sense the camaraderie within the community.
So, after weeks of deliberation and debate.
The community has spoken.
