Having been looking at it for a few days, the other way that the price average seems to be limited, is in rare/unusual stuff that doesn't seem to get traded much so they have almost no data to work with.

As far as entering goes, I tried it by hand for a bit, then gave up, found and downloaded set-lists in CSV format. I'm a bit OCD, but sorting them by set, then adding numbers to a spreadsheet, then uploading from that, made things so much easier (but it still takes forever)

See the image I have attached, it will help you identify sets in a flowchart layout.

Not sure if this will help without knowing how old the cards are, but being in a similar situation trying to index cards I have not seen for over a decade, one shortcut I can add to the flowchart:

4th and 5th can easily be separated by looking at the start of the copyright text. With 4th Edition the text starts to the left of the card frame. In  5th edition it lines up exactly with bottom of the frame. --I might be wrong, but it matches perfectly with every art/text change and the like I can remember, and much easier then trying to read tiny dates.

The other ones like Starter 2000, or the box sets should have the copyright info centralized. Again just easier to see quickly.
