The Trading Card Database - Dodgers

I've been a bit TCDB heavy in my posts lately, but that's what I'm spending all my free time doing.  The latest team to be entered is the Los Angeles Dodgers.  There are 1247 of them in total.  That currently ranks as my 11th most populous team.
 
 
Most of the good trade bait is in the 1980's range.  Steve Garvey, Fernando Valenzuela, Don Sutton, and these two cards pictured here are just some of the trade bait.  There's also a card from 1939 Play Ball for trade.  It's technically a Brooklyn Dodger, which the database counts separately and says I have 12 in my collection.  Only the 1939 Play Ball is from that era though.
 

I'm going to take a break from entering teams for a bit now.  It's taken up a lot of time and I can't help but have this feeling that as soon as I get everything entered, they're going to start charging to use the TCDB.  Does anybody else ever fear the same thing?  It seems like many things online work that way, free for a while and then they start charging a fee.

Tonight I changed direction and entered all my 1970-1972 Topps baseball, regardless of team.  I'm in discussions with a couple different TCDB members regarding trades for those years, so I needed them in there.  As I kickstart my pursuit of completing those sets, here's where things stand based on what I already have.
1970: 48/720 6.7% complete
1971: 90/752 12.0% complete
1972: 160/787 20.3% complete

And not to be forgotten, three other sets that aren't quite finished yet.
1973: 637/660 96.5% complete
1974: 659/660 99.8% complete
1975: 659/660 99.8% complete
