I noticed i had either typed the name wrong or?

Seems like when i look into the database both come up with the same gentleman(RIP),

with different spellings yet point to the same person.

Anyone know or have more insight on this?

According to Wikipedia, he changed his name near the end of his career because people kept saying it incorrectly. It was pronounced "Ar-MEN", so he began spelling it as such, despite his given birth name being spelled "Armon".

I imagine the Database has one of the names as an alias as the other, so that either way it is spelled, it links to the same profile.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

We do. I did it. They also keep getting listed as UER, and I keep correcting them as well.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Just a cool side note on Armon. He graduated in 1982 from the same HS I did, Bethel Park, about 10 miles south of Pittsburgh. I graduated in 1983.... We lost him in 2011.....TOM.....
