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 2012. This month, we look back at 2013.
2013 – A Look Back
Some of the new features added this year included the “Misc Sports” category, the Glossary page, the ability to “Friend” other site members, the ability to leave comments on card pages, the ability to input pricing for whole sets, more collection browsing and reporting options, the ability for people to advertise through the site, the Card-ology game, and the ability to make editorial changes to the database, including the Permissions area and the change log. The first completed transaction through the Transaction Manager was also completed this year.
Here’s a screenshot of what the site looked like in November of 2013 courtesy of the Wayback Machine:
