I've been working on adding numerous pre-war card sets to the database. I've noticed that several members are including the American Card Catalog (ACC) number in the title of the set. I think it is a great idea to have the ACC # included in set identification but is the set title the right place to do it?

It would be nice to have a field in the set description for the ACC # instead of including it in the title since the # is not really part of the set title.

What is standard/accpeted practice for TCDB.....ACC # in the set title....yes or no?

ACC # in the set title...yes.

ok...I'll buy the ACC # in the set title but what about format? If you look at the 1930 Non-sports sets, for example, there are 3 sets listed. Each set has the ACC # in the set title and each set is titled differently.

PSA generally lists the ACC # then the set description.  For instance:

       V290 Cowboy Series

I've also seen this same set listed as:

     Hamiliton Gum V290 Cowboy Series

And also:

     Hamilton Gum Cowboy Series (V290)

Do we have a preferance?

I prefer it at the end. I've noticed the inconsistencies but never bothered to ask Admin.
