I guess I am on fire. Not literally or physically of course. Apparently some people only care about getting points on TCDB (I'm not one of those). I am one that wants to get my entire collection listed in the data base. An actual title worth having. You know I've been working on that for the last couple of years. I've made a lot of progress as I WORK through the PC update this go around. Recently in fact last week I started and completed my Mickey Mantle cards. Overall I have 552 different Mantle cards in the system with 11 cards that I could not find in the system. I have 495 Mantle cards in his PC binder. Some I could identify as they are all over EBay and other sites, but not listed. Most of course didn't have the year so I hit the forums. You know the one that is supposed to help you with "card identification" or "mystery card". I took the time about 30 minutes to scan fronts and backs individually so as to have clean crisp pictures. Then I put the 11 items on the forum which only took 5 minutes. Before I had the 3rd card on there I started getting some crap from 1 specific guy (and then a 2nd chimed in) both at point level L8 who:
1) He isn't trading on the site. I'm okay with that as I don't either right now. I'd rather have my cards inputted first and then decide which ones I want to get rid of.
2) His collection isn't growing. Mine is and at super speed levels (I'm currently #27 on the site in total cards entered (#14 in baseball cards) and I still need the other 90% of my collection put it. Get the idea. I care more about getting the #1 recognition for my collection and not being recognized for points that are supposed to be earned for helping some one else. Oh yeah, he didn't help me...did he. No points for him on this one. Not resolved.
3) He is answering the card id forum without actually answering the forum, ie: messaged me over and over for hours and days blasting me, and never once identifying any of the cards or even mentioning them. (getting points- well trying too anyways).
4) A 2nd L8 guy (obviously a point buddy), chimed in reiterating some stuff then called me lazy and unresourceful well "quote" I come across as that way. When I replied with the work that I do put in especially when trying to identify a card, he replies no one called me that. UH dude YOU DID! Some people are just always going to whine and bi_ch no matter what. Kind of like what this post is doing, but once posted and comments answered when needed I'll be done.
5) Remind you guys here I have about 2 million more cards to run against the TCDB system. Those still need to be entered if I can identify them (now that's just me being a smart a_s).
6) Let me say that this ordeal has been 50/50. Half siding with me (liking- I guess that's still a thing) and the other half siding with that first nincompoop. I am sure when I log in today there will be notifications. In fact, one of my BLOG readers dropped me an e-mail this Saturday morning letting me know he's seen the fiasco going on.
Here are my final thoughts, if you can't answer the TCDB question, don't answer it unless you actually have a positive suggestion where I might actually find the answer (even though my experienced resourceful and NOT lazy self has already checked those before asking for help). As for unlicensed cards not being listed on the site, BULL Dookie, there are tens of thousands of them listed already. If you list one of them and count it as a card then ethically you should include ALL of them. BTW, some of those 11 cards are licensed, just no copyright year on them. Promo stuff for the most part.
Now for a ComC update. Other than the "survey request" regarding how'd we do? I haven't heard a thing since "Stacy" was sending it to her supervisor (Julia , the owner). Also of note, found their Black Friday Cyber Monday e-mail sitting in my spam folder. Yeah, rather NOPE no free shipping again this year. Crapola offer. Guess I need to follow up with the BBB to see what's up on their end.
You folks go out and have a POSITIVE impact on the world, and if you can't then just stay home (lol) that's just me being me again. Peace everybody.
