Looking for help regarding some 2000 Royal Rookie Blue Chips Rick Ankiel NNO Promo Cards I have that I do not see in the Site's Checklist. I do see the Blue Chips listed with the same Artwork front & back but the PROMO listed 2/3's of the way down in Black is missing. I was hoping the card could be added & I would gladly scan both F&B for all to see

I posted a bunch of the RR items recently.  I have another 6-card uncut sheet of Blue Chips that includes two PROMO cards like you describe - but for Brad Baisley & CC Sabathia.  This sheet, combined with the mail-in offer sheet listed in the original 2000 Royal Rookies, would make the whole 10-card BC set + those 2 promos.  I've seen a Jayson Werth BC promo & the Ankiel BC promo on COMC.  So, there's likely a promo version of all the 2000 RR Futures Blue Chips inserts, but only four are "verified".  

Probably could enter the Ankiel as a single promo card for now & if others show up they can be grouped into a full set of Blue Chips promos.

Thanks for your thoughts

How long does it normally take for the Card to be listed as an Insert to the Set?

Just checking in to see if this is in the que to be added to the Checklist as I do not see it yet

Thanks...

Did someone submit a checklist?

I requested this Promo Card to be added on Monday

If you read the thread above, you will see that there are other players that have Promos in the 2000 Royal Rookies Blue Chips that were added as well as they were not part of any Subset either

Thanks...

I haven't submitted any promo card listings yet.  Like I said, I am not sure if there are more than those four that exist as promo cards.  Assuming that Royal Rookies did their insert printings in six-card sheets, then it's possible there were only four promos made along with the 20 inserts (10 Blue Chips & 10 High Yield) for that issue.

{the maths: 4 (sheets) x 6 (cards) = 24; 24 - 20 (inserts) = 4 (promo)}

The only other insert was the Alex Rodriguez "Wall Street" & that was a 6-card sheet composed of the 5 inserts (WA, LL, ST, RE, ET) & the insert checklist card.

I have never seen a High Yield, or Wall Street card with that "PROMO" printed on the back.  Plenty of stickered promos (typically autographed cards), but none with the word actually printed on the card.

Well I guess I'm just going to catalog them under the Ankiel Blue Chips for now & hope in the future there is more interest in adding the Promo Card I have...

We try very hard to add complete checklists when we do add items. You could help us out by doing some research and determining what the full checklist is. If you only know partial, you can at least put that here and maybe someone else will be able to fill in the info and then we can get the checklist added.

There are 3 ways to enter a checklist:

1. Complete
2. Incomplete with all known card numbers
3. Incomplete with unknown quantity of "holes" or undocumented "holes"

I think #1 is fairly obvious what that means - all card numbers and names are accounted for. The second means say there's a 10 card set, it's known to be 10 cards, but we only know who 8 of the players are, but we know the other 2 numbers, just not names. Uploading that checklist isn't as bad because we can use TBA for the missing names, and then as long as no one validates the set, we can see the missing cards. In case #3, we would upload a set of 8, not knowing there are 2 others, what their numbers are, and it gives the appearance of us having a full set, full checklist loaded in the database. This is very bad for the future of TCDB, and doing this is not an acceptable practice here.

As SaintOrm mentioned, it looks like there may be a 6-card promo set. But we don't know. Before we upload, we like to know. We're very much interested in adding this set/these cards, whatever the case may be. But we want to know what we're doing before we go out and do it.

Thanks for helping us add more info to the database. It is very much appreciated!
