There is no visible difference between the 250 card base set and the 50 point parallel set on the front or back of the card.  The 50 point parallel is thicker card stock.  Should we be listing this parallel set ?  We could submit the base card scans as 50 point parallels and nobody would know. 

Technically I guess someone could but I hope that members here have more integrity than to do something like that. I know some older sets (what comes to mind is the Topps fb poster set) I scanned the rear and used it for all of them since all the backs were the same (i.e. the football playing field for the game). What is hard for me is some sets (i.e. Topps Triple Threads) that I am not sure either which 'color' it is or which s/n set goes with which color...I guess I'm getting confused in my old age! Ha!

they may be the same, but i know on some past sets. they were still inserted as a parrellel. i know for the football, at least, there were a couple of hobby and retail cards (walmart/target) that had no difference at all but were still listed separatly. whereas other hobby distributions contain more color than the retail. Not doubting you, i would just double check any type of variation, whether it be color, on any tiny print or symbol on the back. If your going to upload that as a set you can put in the release notes "50 pt stock" or something, this way it shows the difference

I don't understand what the question is here. The 50-point parallel is listed here, as well as the Silver parallel of the 50-point cards. As for the scans, the base set scans would match the base 50-point parallels so I see no problem with adding those scans for it. I know the Silver parallel cards are SN125, but I don't know which side is numbered. If it's the front, the base back scans would also work for the 50-point Silver parallel. I would see no reason to not add them. It doesn't matter if they are copied if it's accurate! The point of adding scans is to get as much accurate info added to the DB as possible.
