First Anniversary Reader Poll

Posted by Matthew Lug on 25 December 2012

Tell me what you want, what you oh hell no I’m not doing a Spice Girls reference

In case you missed it, my first Reader Poll revealed that I have a reader! [Update: It’s up to 4, woo! And back to one after I replaced the polling system.] Now, dear reader, you have a chance to shape the content over the next year, in so far as your opinions happen to match up with what I end up doing. Hey, you get what you pay for and I’m the only one paying for this site. I love free marketing data though, so please fill out this survey honestly (or at least humorously) and maybe your voice will be heard. Unless nobody fills this out, in which case I’ll just interpret that as a vote of confidence in whatever I’m doing. Interpreting data is fun.

Baseball Card Coverage


	
		
		
		What baseball card products are you most interested in?

		 Current year products, last year is ancient history
		 Recent years, I get confused when players are in another team's uniforms
		 Ten or more years ago, there's nothing like the good old days
		 Anything after the '70s is lame

		What types of baseball cards are you most interested in?

		 Game-used memorabilia, what scandal?
		 Autographs, nobody is faking those, right?
		 Rookie cards, there's a clear definition now, right?
		 It's all gimmicks.  Why, in my day, we flipped cards, put them in the spokes of our bikes...  Get off my lawn!

		Manufactured memorabilia relics are:

		 An abomination that only hides the fact that game-used material, real or fake, is getting boring.
		 Sometimes interesting, sometimes boring, just like everything else.
		 An example of innovation in the hobby.
		 The only things that are guaranteed to be what they claim to be.

		I want to see cards that:

		 I am likely to pull from packs
		 I can get on eBay for next to nothing
		 Will take a little luck or money to get
		 I will never be able to own

Site Design


	
		
		
		The sidebar

		 Sucks because there's no connection to the main theme
		 Sucks because it all blends together
		 Sucks because the links aren't useful
		 Sucks because have you even touched the code for it since you launched the site?

		The backgrounds

		 Carlos Beltran and Justin Turner would be honored
		 Relate well to the content of the site
		 Are adequate
		 What the heck is that supposed to be?

		The theme

		 Is just a prepackaged theme you tweaked to look more Metsy
		 Is too Metsy
		 Is not Metsy enough
		 What's with all this Metsy talk?

		Overall, the site design is:

		 Good
		 Great
		 The greatest
		 What do you mean those are the only choices?
