    I found this odd.  My goal is to scan as many cards to the Herschel Walker page as I can.  I check the entire gallery listing fairly often, as new spaces for cards are added from time to time.  On the 1990 section, there were two new blank spaces for #105 Blank Front in both Disclaimer Back and No Disclaimer Back.  These spaces were never there for years, at least as far as the blank fronts.  I saw one for sale and bought it, then scanned it to the page.

    A couple days ago, I went on and the card I scanned was removed, as well as the other blank front space.  I did a forum search and found that these were discussed in 2016, and that they were printer errors, and the database did not find them acceptable.   That's fine, but I don't know why the space was never there, even way after it was found that they weren't acceptable, then suddenly it was there.. No big deal having the error card, as a single player collector, but I guess it was a waste of a scan.

Blank front and blank back sets should never be added to the database per Admin's guidelines (unless they are an intentional parallel like what Donruss has done this year in their baseball product).

Sometimes these sets get added by someone who has gained the proper permission level to add sets, but decides to go rogue. Until the addition catches the correct eyes, the ste could sit there for years. But once the set is seen, and reported, Admin will remove them.

Furthermore, anyone who has gained that level of permissions should know better, and if they have done that, I think that they should have those privileges removed.

The checklist should never have been posted in the first place. I love errors...I'm in the middle of a ten post series on Cardboard History showing my collection...but they should not be posted here. 

You can start a userlist and add your own images to share the errors. It's something I plan to do but have not done yet because it's going to be a lot of work and I have other things that are taking precedence right now.

I can understand your frustration. It’s hard to list your entire collection here in many cases. For example, T206 cards. There’s just one listing per front, but there can be multiple backs.  Frustrating.
