As the calendar change to 2017 comes closer and closer, there's only one season on cardboard that's basically over -- though there are still two brands to come (*noted below) -- and that's the baseball card season.

The NBA, NFL and NHL will still carry over their cardboard seasons into the next calendar year, making a Best of the Year vote here more complicated. But it's in MLB where we can do that here a bit easier.

There were plenty of interesting developments among new baseball card products in the last year for collectors -- notably the unconventional arrival of Topps Now and the priciest box ever, Topps Transcendent Collection. While those are very different highlight-worthy card experiences that helped define 2016's baseball landscape, perhaps there's another set that defined the year for you.

And that's why we want your vote ... check out your options below and pick one. Feel free to add a comment or tell Buzz what you think on Twitter as to why you chose the product that you did.

When Ronda Rousey enters the Octagon for UFC 207 on Friday night in Las Vegas it will have been one year, one month and 16 days since her career trajectory changed from unprecedented dominating badass with mainstream cameos everywhere to a rattled ex-champ with a 12-1-0 record.

Her cardboard is still arguably the hottest in the hobby -- at least based on asking prices -- but we all know it's not the same as it had been when the steamroller got shocked. A win against Amanda Nunes might get the gravy train rolling back to its super-marketed hype levels -- you know, something to justify all that super marketing that's been done in her return.

But ... what's next for her cardboard if she loses again?

In an interview with Dan Patrick this week, Kevin Costner said he'd be opening to reprising the role of Crash Davis in Bull Durham 2 if creator Ron Shelton was open to the idea and could draft the next chapter in the story of big-screen players that have become minor-league baseball icons.

But there's one cardboard icon in the real world who's partly responsible for the creation of the 1988 film in the first place.

He's Steve Dalkowski.
