Now I just need to upload another 12,000 cards!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-19489521163263848182014-10-08T11:06:02.743-04:002014-10-08T11:06:02.743-04:00One of the major appeals is definitely having a vi...One of the major appeals is definitely having a visual reference, though I also have something like 80% of my collection scanned and uploaded onto my website. It's going to be a little more time consuming than I'd like, but I think it will be worth it in the long run.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-51549377341429124192014-10-07T22:45:17.227-04:002014-10-07T22:45:17.227-04:00You can suggest edits and alterations, but like Re...You can suggest edits and alterations, but like Red Cardboard said, there are only a couple of people working on the site and any significant change can take a while. I created a flag for a set that was a partial parallel, alerting the admins that only the first 200 cards in the base set were reproduced as Gold cards. A couple of months later I got an e-mail letting me know that the flag had been accepted and worked. When duplicate sets pop up in the database it sometimes is easiest just to find the one that seems to be getting the most traffic and use that one.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-30724666647673154962014-10-07T17:21:15.664-04:002014-10-07T17:21:15.664-04:00You can edit/add cards in the database yourself, w...You can edit/add cards in the database yourself, which I love. However, the downside is that too many people input things very sloppily and often times flat-out incorrectly. Particularly the 'team' tag. This makes it too hard to import a team bundle, as you'd need to check that you grabbed them all anyway. I'm doing my part by trying to get the team correct on all of my cards, but yes, the whole thing is very time consuming. Plus, I find spreadsheets so cold and uninviting, so I like having the catalog online with occasional photos and quick searching/sorting. The entire site is run by two people, only one of whom codes, so it's probably too overwhelming to worry about a perfect database for now. As for the time consumption: yeah, that's just life in our little world, ain't it?Red Cardboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013343453207008789noreply@blogger.com
