I did not sign up as a member, and don't intend to. But if they do nothing and claim that my not formerly signing up/registering with them is a reason/excuse for them taking no action on very obvious errors, the problem and mistake clearly is on them! We'll see how good they are in monitoring and making any corrections and needed changes, and how quickly they act.

These are pre-war sets I'm talking about, not modern sets. I leave the modern stuff to sites like theirs, and have no opinion or comment on how good and accurate they are in their listings, descriptions, and checklists of such modern sets. Just surprised with all the errors I still come across on various sites regarding pre-war cards. You would think after all these years, and the decades of the SCD Catalogs, that there would be fewer, if any, errors still showing up in checklists for these old sets that other sites keep using/posting.

Keep in mind that TCDB is not a business. There is literally no "they" or "them"; just the collective membership. Some have more rights to fix things than others, but they're all just collectors.

Anyone who wants to add a checklist can do so by requesting that right (you have to take a basic test on the board checklisting procedures) or messaging the complete checklist to the site. Providing links to evidence of the existence of a set probably will not be enough to have the set added. The site seems to run by the rule that everyone is expected to pitch in and provide all of the information available to them, rather than asking others to research things.

Again, the only way for that site to improve its pre-war checklists, scans, etc., is for pre-war collectors to join (it's free) and add/correct what they can. Every bit makes a difference.
