Something to consider - will the size of this data stack keep growing indefinitely? If so, every time you save it, you are saving the entire data set, not just the new card. This gets cumbersome when the stack gets very large. With an indefinitely expanding data set, you need to work out a scheme for archiving old data, or creating a new stack every year (or month, or whatever), or saving each record as an independent stack, or as an independent text file.
