As I discussed previously, the biggest pain in the @ss certainly is importing all the prepared data, validating it and formatting it.
Initially, we carefully crafted a callcard database using excel, documenting all the callcards we know of out there. Then it came to manually typing up this data in the site site and we realised that even though the site has been designed with a DB backend, its still gonna take forever to import all the data by hand (and we've still to touch up all the scanned in images).

The biggest nightmare so far has to be (something you would expect to be the easiest thing ) scanning in the cards. I kid you not when I say this but... its taken almost 4 days to scan in the cards (and bits and pieces such as presentation folders/leaflets that some cards come in), and to make things worse, I've yet to touch up and separate all the images.

As the site is coming more and more together, everyday we're thinking of new ideas and concepts. More and more fields seem to be added to the site everyday, such as grading the callcards by rarity, adding in the presentation sleeves that come with some cards etc...
I think the most exciting one is yet to come but we're being tight lipped for now ;)
