Agree. In Memorium means In Memory Of if I am correct, for that reason alone if we are to show all images regardless, In Memorium should be changed (as sadly said by someone else) in the name of PC. Ugh.

The phrase "In Memorium" does actually give the appearance of celebrating his life. Basically, "We're showing you this picture, in memory of Charles Manson." Purely accidental, and I see no real reason to change anything besides the step Dan already took to get him off the main page in this one isolated instance. I can't think of any other living person, on a card, who would fall into this category. And the dead are already dead, as others have mentioned. They can't show up there.

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.

Well, someone added his DOD back a bit too soon as Manson is back in the list (#4 of 5).
I do like the idea of replacing "In Memoriam" with "Recently Deceased" though. That would eliminate this specific scenario from happening again.

SIGH
On the bright side just 2 more deaths will knock him off for good. Someone suggested holding off until David Cassidy is out of the recent 5 to re-enter Manson's DOD.

The In Memorium section sounds like a section for people who will remember or mourn someone dying. I think we should all celebrate the fact that that evil man is finally dead and we no longer have to support him in prison any longer. They should have a section "Thank God He's Finally Dead" for all the people that deserve this section. (Boy am I going to get replies for this one, I know.) Think about it, really, who didn't say "It's about time" when he died, except maybe Leslie Van Houten, and Patricia Krenwinkle. This is just my opinion.

"In Memoriam" is a Latin phrase which translate to "into memory". There's nothing religious, exaulted, poetic, nor praising about the phrase. It just means they've gone from a physical existence to a mental existence (memory). And only a memory if you choose to remember.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Only if said murderers are living. Otherwise they can't be one of the five most recent deaths.
