I admire the dedication.
I mean, it's for profit.  It's not profit-required.  Hopefully, I'm genuinely filling a gap in the market.  That's the only reason I started it - I didn't find anything I'd want to play.

Funnily enough, all the talk about the Badgers vs TCU in the RB, someone orders the 2010 Badgers.

40-team order in - 34 teams already created.  Only have to make 6 new.  Thank Christ. 

A customer is inquiring about buying all 130 teams for the 2019 season.  There goes my summer.

Just made '94 Nebraska for the first time it's been ordered. 
When teams go back-to-back NCs, one is always valued higher than the other.  Think about it:
69 Texas is far more remembered than 70 Texas
71 Nebraska over 70 Nebraska
74 OU over 75 OU

78 Bama over 79 Bama.  The 79 Tide was obviously better, but it was the 78 squad with the goal line stand vs Penn St, and that's all anyone seems to remember.

95 Nebraska over 94, because 95 might have been the best team of all time.

04 USC over 03, because it wasn't a shared title and they fed OU a poop sandwich in the OB. 

And for the recent Bama years ('11-'12), they've won so many times in a short time that they all kind of run together in the public consciousness.

I had intended to just provide Berringer, due to attempts and Frazier's limited passing stats being so poor, but I went ahead and included Frazier, too.  

I understand what a big deal it was, what he did in the OB.  Despite his bad passing stats, you could recreate that - it's takes no time at all to include another QB card.

I made my first bad screw-up, sending an order to the wrong place.  
Ugh.  

So someone got 16 teams they didn't order (for free) and another gets to wait 5 extra days for their order.  I knew this was inevitable on a long-enough timeline, but it still stinks.

It's a unique situation - 2 orders so large, I've been sending them in portions.  Just sent the wrong portion to the wrong patient customer. 

I need to put a cap on how many teams can be in any one, individual order.

Art of manipulation:  contact free guy offer him two teams and cover shipping to send to screwed dude.  

People are amazingly honest if given the chance.
