New Website: t206insider.com

[steve B]

Signed up and so far I really like the site.

I've had a copy of inside T206 for a while, and found it fascinating.


I'm looking forward to seeing what other research gets posted there. There's some good stuff here that could be mirrored or put into a more approachable format. And there's some stuff I've seen that hasn't been posted, but should be. (Not mine)

I also like the universal registry.
Just a few minor ideas there.

Features I'd like to see
Having a way to denote if a card is slabbed or not and if so, by what company. That could be weighted or not, probably simpler/less controversial if at least the big three are weighted the same.

An extended universal registry. I'm only up to the D players, and already I've had a couple where I've had to choose between a lesser condition tougher back and a slightly nicer more common back.

Including blank backs.


And a few very minor glitches, inconsistencies etc.
Entering cards is "a bit" slow. Being able to do more than one at a time would be helpful. Not that it will matter once they're entered, but the initial setup is pretty slow.

One small thing that would help would be having the menus for back and condition and when/where you get them a bit clearer. I finally realized I can do it in one click in the box instead of closing the default and opening the menu.

And very trivial, but it slows me down, maybe not others. The menu for the backs requires a click on the word "select" and the one for condition requires a click next to "select".


All in all a great start! If those few things are the only glitches you've done very well.

Hi Scot

You have created a super-site here. There sure is a lot of stuff to take in.

And, a tremendous thank you for this feature......" At last, you can participate in a registry without being captive to a grading service ! ".

I will register my PIEDMONT, SOVEREIGN, and SWEET CAPORAL "complete" sets (which for the most part are ungraded).

I do not collect pre-war, but I found your site amazing. If I did collect, it would be a great resource for rookies like me.

Thanks Ted. I know we kicked around the idea of creating a site a few times over the years so your positive review means a lot. I also appreciate you taking the time to register some of your cards. Additionally, I hope you will consider writing a piece (or several!) for the Research section. Those would be invaluable contributions. Scot


EDITED TO ADD: Thanks also to John for your kind words. I hope I responded to everyone!

Just wanted to say it's a very cool site and thank you, Scot!

Thanks Steve. In terms of the registry, my idea was to keep everyone on equal footing regardless of the grading company (or no company at all). Obviously this also simplified configuration on my end. I may add grading company as a registry input in a future release just to allow collectors to better track their collections, but I don't think I want grading company to influence registry points.

Steve--I'll take note of all this. Some of these changes won't be possible because I am using the Knack.com toolset which has limited configuration options. Scot

Yes, the software will have limits, especially if it's affordable.

I'm sure some of it is just the newness, once I get used to it it'll be easier for me. And as I mentioned, everything I mentioned is really pretty trivial in the big picture.

Did a few more, got the last part of the alphabet done, so maybe a bit more than halfway to getting them all entered. Had a few tough calls on the grading, mostly between Poor and fair, and a few that might get a VG from a company, but with a light crease I put them all in good, maybe one or two in good +.

very nice Scott. I've entered my very meager T206 collection. One question though - how do I view the contents of 'my collection'?

While logged-in, click on the My Backs tab to see your Subject/Back profile for all 524 subjects and the My Grades tab to see your Subject/Grade profile for all 524 subjects. Thanks for trying out the site!

[sreader3]

Guys,

I am aware of a bug in the checklists where the number of certain subjects (which should be 1 - 524) defaults to "0". I'm trying to figure that one out.

Corrected a few bugs in the registry rules:

1. Sweet Cap 350/30, Piedmont 42 and Uzit were not registering properly for subjects starting with Mit - Z. This has been corrected. You may want to re-register any Mit - Z cards you registered with those backs.

2. Overall (Portrait) backs were not registering properly. This has been corrected. You may want to re-register any Overall (Portrait) cards.

3. One more correction: Reulbach (No Glove) backs & grades were not registering properly. Correction made. Please re-register him.

Thanks for your patience as the bugs are worked out.

Scot
