Please, if you're going to "fix" a card number - don't do it for just one card in the set - fix the WHOLE set!!

If I may make an addendum, the same holds true for notes. Did you know, if you you change one, and then somebody comes along and uses the change notes option, they have to go in and manually remove the information added to any cards before they fix the notes for the entire set, otherwise it leads to duplication? I've had to do this dozens of times already. (Obviously, sets where the notes are different per card notwithstanding)

Yes, we seem to have 3 player collectors (in particular) who are updating the cards ONLY for the players they collect, and not helping with the entire set. I'm noticing this because of trying to fix glossary entries for complete sets. I don't want to name names and I won't, but I have e-mailed these individuals about other glossary/TCDB issues in the last couple weeks.

I have made it a point to correct the card numbers for the cards I have on hand and this is an on going project but I will only be able to change the cards I have.

If I had a complete checklist then I would, but I figured if I correct the cards on hand than that is better than not have the right numbers.

 

 

I understand this when the set is listed as AJ, AT, BC, etc. and it's really HH-1, HH-2, etc. But when it's HC-1, HC-2, and the set is listed as 1, 2, etc., the whole set needs to be updated.

Billy, you can get around that. If you need to add AU to each card, do it. After doing so, if any cards end up as "AU, AU" use the replace feature to change all "AU, AU" to "AU". It works great!

I didn't know if that would work or if it would just remove them all. Good to know it will work, thanks!

Just like using Search & Replace in Word (or other word processor), I have used SNSN > SN (If someone only added 1 or 2 "SN"s on a 100 card set) or SNAU > AU (since the entry already had AU, SNxx), etc. Admin hit a HR when they added that feature (at least for me)!

When I first got here I was guilty of only updating the ranford cards only but over time I realized my error and have gone back and fixed the entire sets but there may be the odd one that I have either missed or gave up on .... Anyone ever try some of the ITG checklists ..... Ugh

ITG - UGH indeed!!!!
