I'm spending way tooo much time with my collection. I can't decide which of these 3 is THEE most annoying for me. What's yours??

1.  The Upper Deck Hologram Variations from the 90's.  It seems like here's 50 of them and I can never tell. Hockey sticks, baseballs, words inverted, numbers in there.  It's maddening. 

2. The period or no period and the * or no * on the junk wax Donruss and other cards. Need the eyeglass prescription updated.

3.  Moving up fast on my list is the Panini Prizm parallels.  Hyper this, snake skin that, holo this no huddle that.  I'm seriously about to lose it.

I'd like to see some type of chart where we could go with detailed explanations and pictures of these horrible things these card companies have created. 

Who's got some other ones I missed? 

I'm going with #2. I use reading glasses now, but still can't make that tiny type sometimes. 

When its annoying, laborsome and or bothersome ....its time scale it back or put it away for awhile. 

I was totally burned out right before the holidays. I put everything up for a month, turned into 6 weeks and restarted on a much small scale. I'm glad I did.   

It is number 2 for me.  I have many cards where I honestly do not know if that is a small period, a speck of dust, a printing flaw, or my mind seeing things.  
 

These differences are why I have yet to even try to put in many of my Donruss multiples.  

I'd have to go with yes.....ALL 3. Just when you tink you have it all done here we go with another. Its a good thing I keep buying more collections to try to get all the VAR's.... FML

I hate to say it because it is an added thing but it would be nice to be able to turn on or off the variations for those who don't care. Let them sit in a no selected variation status on the database but those who don't really care about these variations could then turn them off. I'm not sure if it would be better to have the setting at the profile level for the member or for them to just click an option for a particular set. I'm afraid for those who don't care they may get annoyed enough to just not enter their collection into the database.

THIS!! I am yet to enter most of mine for this exact reason. For some people, I respect that they care and that it makes a difference to them. Me, I really don't care to sit for hours figuring out which one have the dot. I would opt out of this in a heartbeat!

#2 hands down!

Yes for sure but those Prizms are driving me nuts. Do we really need 4 different blues or greens? You used to be able to tell becasue they would only use a SN once but now I'm seeing VAR's with the same SN to xxx.  The rub is I'm like a big child. I gravitate to the shiny colors. LOL. Seriously I like these parallels but can't they make it easier to distinguish?? I hate these people. 

Not one of the options but a huge annoyance is everyone listing there eBay card as "psa 10?"
