LUNDBERG SURPASSES CAREW, HENDERSON ON ALL TIME HIT LIST
Get used to this with every update. With a minor update of some old stuff I failed to list until now, I now have 3,058 episodes, which puts me past Rod Carew (3,053) and Rickey Henderson (3,055) on the all time hit list. Next is Dave Winfield (3,110) and he will go down after my current trade is done. In fact, I'll pass the next few guys on the list (Tony Gwynn [3,141], Robin Yount [3,142], Paul Waner [3,152], George Brett [3,154]) with one fell swoop thanks to this 56-hour behemoth. After Brett, Cal Ripken, Jr. (3,184) is the next on the list.

THERE'S A NEW MEMBER OF THE THREE THOUSAND HIT CLUB! AND IT'S... NOT A BASEBALL PLAYER!
Yes, after finally updating my collection (which should have been done in September), I have reached the 3,000 hit plateau. I'm now 20th on the all time list between Rod Carew (3,053) and Lou Brock (3,023). I'm going to be really happy if I ever get to 4,257! If you're getting tired of the baseball references, tough; it's my site and I love baseball.

UM... YEAH. I'LL BE CLOSED A SPELL.
It's a new year, and that means a new... I don't know. Something that's new.
In any case I just agreed to a 56-hour trade, which will be my longest ever. Needless to say, I won't be accepting any more trades until this behemoth (and I mean that in the best way possible) is finished, which should be... Around St. Patrick's Day?
AND NOW FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!:
All shows that begin with the word "the" will be catalouged by the second word. Therefore, The Joker's Wild will be found under "J" & The Price is Right will be found under "P." Also, any show beginning with a dollar amount will be found under the first word after that. Therefore, all versions of Pyramid will be found under the letter "P."
Also, there's a tag at the end of each episode description for your edification; you don't need to send it along with your want list. There are a few different parts that I'll decode it for you now.
PART ONE: (Source):
PART TWO: (Commercials):
PART THREE: (Video Quality):
Here are some examples:
[OB?, Yes, VQ=B+] That means that it might be an original broadcast, has commercials, and the video is of B+ quality.
[GSN, No, VQ=A] This means that it's from Game Show Network, doesn't have commercials, and is of the best video quality I have. Simple, simple stuff.
And now, on with the trades!

Either "Yes," "No," or "Some." This is simple and really doesn't need to be explained any further.
All shows are assessed on a basic letter grade system, ranging from A (prestine) to F (forget it) and it looks something... like this:
VQ=? A low grade could be anything from TV snow, ghosts or shadows, jumpy or glitchy picture, bluriness, or just plain suckiness. Also, it's an estimation. No qualtiy grading system is perfect and all grades are subject to change at any time, but nothing will change from B+ to D+ or vice versa unless I get a better quality version of a given show.
