Driving me nuts

Helen Keller is driving me nuts tonight. Specifically, the fact that her name was misspelled "Hellen" in the 2014 Allen & Ginter checklist, and then the error was copied to all 13 parallel sets. And then somebody created a PID for the misspelled version of her name. Which means it is taking me FOREVER to fix everything. I run into these mistakes all the time, but Helen Keller has pushed me over the edge. Yes, this is how I'm spending Friday night on my vacation. Somebody remind me that collecting is supposed to be fun...

-------------------------------

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.

Card collecting is fun, editing a database, probably not so. ------------------------------- "He stood there like the house by the side of the road, and watched that one go by." - Ernie Harwell

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on his pants, a peg leg and a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "Hey, you've got a steering wheel on your pants." The pirate says, "Arrrr, I know. It's driving me nuts."
