Done. Now all of the Topps basketball all stars of the 70s are appropriately denoted. :)

Honestly, I would rather see you adding cards to your collection or scans to the DB than I would seeing you adding info for cards you have yet to add to your collection OR added scans for in that collection. Adding INFO doesn't help anyone if you have nothing to prove it!

Now that E & Vs are getting a little more popular, I think that the notes should briefly explain the variation instead off just VAR. It certainly doesn't help the new collector, if they don't know what to look for, especially variations. I know if I didn't do my research on Fleer stickers, many variations could have gone unnoticed. Just a thought. Which could apply to the insertion of notes on other cards, just not E&Vs.

Note field: "VAR"

Note2 field: "VAR: Explanation of variation"

I do belive that's in the FAQ.

I don't have access to a scanner, so uploading scans is not something I am equipped to do. I am contributing to the DB in the small way that I can. FWIW, the vast majority of the cards to which I added an 'AS' note already had their scans in the database, and I am quite sure of the 'AS' status of those that don't (from the 1977-78 set). 

I am not currently using the site to maintain my collection, though that may change at some point. The ramp-up time seems a little forbidding, and I am not sure of all of the functionality that the site provides. Also, I frankly doubt I have cards that people actually want -- I am a very small time collector with mostly base cards from the 70s.

You'd be surprised what people are into. In fact, I just got some complete sets from 1973-1977 (baseball) and some of the cards were in lesser condition than I'd prefer. So, I am actually looking for some base commons from the mid-70s. Go figure! :)

hyperdex, good idea to wait till you really learn the ins and outs of the site.  It is a great site with only minor oddities that most members raise to admin or the forum to try to have corrected or improved.  But entering your collection, want list and for sale/trade list is well worth the effort if you wish to obtain cards through trades.  For now, doing even the small things to help contribute is great.

I learned the hardway in entering my baseball collection.  I eventually had admin delete it all (baseball only) and am now in the process of reentering the collection one set at a time.  Even as I am doing this, I have had a couple of trade proposals come my way even though I am not even close to halfway in entering all of my cards into the site.

A really great site; I am happy I stumbled upon it and now spend the first three hours of most of my days on it.  Since I got a scanner, as I enter the partial sets that I own, I am uploading every card I have that did not have an image before.  Slowly but surely, I will get to the end of my collection.
