I think the general consensus, whether or not they are willing to voice it, is that the idea was amazing and the momentum from the start was great, but it took a turn for the worse and has floundered for years. I don't have a stake in this other than the pride that came from seeing this effort grow, but that has turned into disappointment. I don't mind being vocal about it, even though I never donated a single card to the effort, as was graciously pointed out in a different thread when I asked about selling it. Lots of contributors should be recognizedand though a few guys that carried this effort on their backs like David and Leon (sorry if I missed any other supercontributors, it's been so long now)...then it all but died on the vine.
My opinion was that was managed poorly after the set neared completion and we missed the boat on auctioning it when the bang would have been biggest. Information on updates was sparse, wantlists seemed to change back and forth or were not matching as cards were added and/or dropped. It was not clear at several points along the way if the set was in fact 100% complete (just needing upgrades to certain cards) and frankly I still am not sure. This effort has drug on so long with no change that it is almost forgotten by most who really made it happen. When was the last new card or upgrade received? 5 years ago?
I hate to speak negatively about it because it was such a great idea and supports a great cause, but seriously, what difference would it make in the end if 2 cards were not perfect? People donate to charity for nothing in return, so why would we think a near perfect set would suffer greatly from a couple cards with a fuzzy corner? This was a community effort organized on a private sight, but who really "owns" the set? It seems a few select people have decided how this is going to work and that it won't move until all cards are perfect. Cancer doesn't take a day off but the set is doing nobody any good right now. At what point do you make the call that it is time to move on?
Not to be a dick, but if you’re on Twitter it takes 10 seconds to find my tweet. Cancer doesn’t take a day off and we shouldn’t either.
