Full list of 2008 Gummie Winners.

Product of the Year, Set of the Year, and Best Retro-Themed Product: Topps Allen & Ginter.

All of these were runaway winners, and neither should come as a shock.

Card of the Year: Donruss Threads Bats #9, Shoeless Joe Jackson

This was the first surprise result. The smart money was on the Topps Obama, but it could only muster 25% of the vote. Meanwhile, the Shoeless Joe Bat card from Donruss Threads received 41% and won in an upset.

Rookie Card of the Year: Topps Heritage #650, Evan Longoria

It wasn't much of a shock to see Longoria get this award. What was a shock was that it wasn't the one with the cut/sticker autograph, swatch of jersey fabric, and serial numbering that won (SP Authentic); but just a humble base card (Heritage).

Best Insert Set: Topps Trading Card History

Trading Card History got 56% of the vote, easily defeating TA&G's Mini World Leaders.

Best Autogamer Set: Topps Allen & Ginter Framed Relics

The TA&G Framed Relics got 45%, while Stadium Club Beam Team beat out Topps Heritage A Real One for second by a single vote.

Also, Razor Signature Autographs did not receive a single vote.

Best High-End Product: Playoff Prime Cuts IV

This by far, was the most competitive category.

Topps Triple Threads 21.7%
Upper Deck Premier 14.5%
Topps Finest 20.5%
Topps Sterling 19.3%
Playoff Prime Cuts IV 24.1%

Best Prospect Themed Product: Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects.

If I were a betting man, I'd have placed my money on Razor to win, and BDP&P to finish last. As it turns out, BDP&P won and Razor got the wooden spoon.

Best Unlicensed Product: Playoff Prime Cuts IV

Donruss took the Win (Prime Cuts), Place (D'Russ Threads), and Show (DEEE) positions.

Worst Overall Product: Upper Deck X
Most Disappointing Product: Stadium Club
Most Meaningless Product: Upper Deck Documentary

All three were shoo-ins, and all three carried at least 40% of the vote in their respective categories.

Worst Gimmick: Topps #661, Johan Santana "No-Hitter"

I really thought it was going to be the fake Japanese ballplayer (Uzuki). But you chose the fake no-hitter.

Best Hobby Blog: Cardboard Junkie

This was a two-horse race between The Junkie and.....

Best Hobby News Source: Wax Heaven

Mario received over 65% of the vote.

Best Video Box Breaker: TomTheRipper407

I mean, come on! It's Tom the Ripper. Everyone else was competing for second place -- which, by the way, went to Dr. Wax Battle.

Hobby Rookie of the Year: Evan Longoria

77% of the vote. Nuff said.

Hobby MVP: Josh Hamilton

This was a battle between Hamilton and Albert Pujols, but in the end, Hamilton won with 39% to Pujols's 27%.

Hobby Top Prospect: David Price

Another no-brainer.

Jefferson Burdick Award for Contributions to The Hobby: Ben Henry

I thought you'd give it to Sy Berger, but Ben Henry pulled it out with his Casey at the Bat farewell.
