Is that 95% of the total? I must say, I'm entirely satisfied with the accuracy
of the Peeron inventories, but then, I'm only referencing a very small
selection.
If your claim isn't about 95% of the total, could you clarify what your sample
is? (eg older sets, space sets or whatever).

That's probably the best approach.

I have no idea of Dan's availability of methods of operation, but I presume, if
you've sent in 1000 emails of corrections, that's going to take a lot of time to
read through, let alone verify and update the database. Did your emails require
an answer, or just an action (to update the database, for instance)?

Maybe. But I presume that your sample size of the correct inventory is quite
small - have you opened multiple MISB examples of each set you're submitting
corrections for (presuming that you're looking at sets without an inventory on
the box)? There is, and was, (and presumably will always be) some variation in
set contents.
