Just curious how many spend any time making changes in the Things to Do section?
Been spending alot of time working on team and name link fixes.

I used to a lot of cropping and fixing abbreviations in the glossary. Now I am down to only doing DOBs and personal info.

I spend several hours a week in the name verification section. Then I get frustrated and angry at people's poor spelling and quit for a few days. It closely resembles my job, so if I've spent the day correcting a ton of errors at work, I don't have the patience for doing it on my free time.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Most of my time is spent in the Things to Do sections. Crop Help, Missing Abbreviation Descriptions, Missing Images, Missing Checklists, and Missing DOBs (actually all profile info). I jump around and do a variety of things during the day to break up the monotany of working on just on area. The name fixes I leave to Admin, I don't see an easy process to separate linked names, PIDs, and cards messes. When I find multiple players with the same name but only one PID I let Admin cleanup the mess because sometimes it involves hundreds of cards.
-------------------------------
Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I was doing a lot about a year ago - but recently, I haven't had the free time I used to have. I haven't even been adding the checklists and scans for the Star Company stuff due to lack of free time. I'm hopeful that things will clear up a bit soon here, and I'll get back in the groove. :)

I used to do a lot of work in there. Now I just fix info as I am adding scans. As I come across a set that is missing links, notes, glossary, etc., I will fix it before I move on to the next set.

I am still trying to get my Ranford collection all entered, am at 2007-08, as I add a card and scan and the checklist is wrong I fix it as I go along. (Right Avsbruins!! ... lol) Am slowly going crazy on OPC Premier. But summer is my busy time as I am in construction so winter is my time to shine.

Thanks for the input everyone.
It is nice to know people care and want to fix the wrong entries in the system.
Keep up the good work.
