I have added some scans, checklists, and fixed a handfull of innacuracies on the site. Other than that, my resume is pretty weak.
I do hope this site lasts forever, as it would be an absolutely terrible shame if it ever went away.
How can I add the infamous FrankenJordan to my wantlist? That one is a classic.

And here I thought Admin was an all-knowing, all-seeing mythical figure (no one has actually seen Admin in person right?) that does everything. Admin is like Sasquatch, a unicorn, etc. etc, but leaves an actual indelible print in everything that is done. Results, tangible; actual existence/figment of our imagination???? Admin will never go away

The page footers used to include "The Trading Card Database, LLC" in the copyright line. I'm not sure if that status has changed or not, but a company can live beyond its founder much easier than a person's personal web site can.

i thought admin was like the Freemasonry or Illuminati -- all a secret within a secret, therefore they would last forever. But, what's more important is that this remains a user driven portal and hopefully the company doesn't sell out to a main stream corporation where added fees and other bs will be implemented or have to result in a site overdriven with ads like cardboard connection did.

Maybe we should stop? I can see Admin kicking back with some coffee, evil grin up the face and the site suffering from "sudden" outages for the mere suggestions that we are presenting here

I think I need my eyes checked. I thought it said, "I really hope the admin is IMMORAL, but". In the words of Jim Gaffigan, I GOT SOME SINNING TO DO!

I’ve always thought of Admin as the Wizard behind the curtain.

UKboogie does bring up a good point.
I am 57, fairly active physically and (I thought) in good shape. On January 15th while on a business trip I suffered a heart attack. I am currently recovering from triple bypass surgery. I only mention this to point out that "things" happen and can happen when you least expect it.
I visit this site several times everyday. I'm sure that we all want/hope it will continue for a long time to come. I hope that Admin does have a plan in place, or will use my personal example to start planning for the future.
Many thanks to Admin and everyone who helps make this such a wonderful site. Your work is much appreciated by a lot of people.

I've worried about it as well...and my own website, which I have maintained since 2004 and has over 400,000 images on it. If I don't pay the bill every year, my life's work will be lost, thus rendering my whole life pretty much wasted. I have no kids to maintain it, and women don't find me attractive so no real reasonable hope that I will. I try not to think about it, but I do.
I've already come five minutes away from dying, literally. I feel like I'm on borrowed time as it is...but think about it, how many fat senior citizens do you see? Not many. Is there any wonder I am rarely happy? Honestly, the only times I'm actually happy are at car shows. I try to fake it most of the rest of the time but I don't always succeed.
KC, get well soon!
