I understand the system where you have to have so many points to be able to choose a sample card for a set. I have enough to choose a sample card for an insert set, but not a base set. That is fine with me. I will eventually have enough points. I wondered though... is it possible that the site could be programmed to make an exception if a person scanned 100% of the cards in a set? For instance, the 2015 Topps St. Louis Cardinals set has no sample card. All of the scans are mine. It would be nice if the site could recognize that fact and allow the scanner to have the option of choosing the sample card.
In the meantime, would somebody who has the ability to do this for a base set mind going in (it's a recent gallery so the link is still on the home page) and pick Card #9 Carlos Martinez? He has earned the recognition this year. Thank you.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Yes, and thank you, if you were the one who did it.

I also didn't know we could pick a sample card! I mean, if a set has ten cards and only one has been scanned, it should be the sample. I've been wondering about that for a couple of months now. Especially after I added scans of some complete sets and they still have no sample card. What do I do to make a scan be the sample card?

Spazmatic, if you have enough points where you can do so, when you are in the set checklist, and there is no sample card already, there will be an empty box in the upper left where a sample card would be located. Click on that, and it will bring up a screen with a list of all of the scanned cards from that set. I usually look at the one I am going to pick first, just to be sure the scan is the correct card and looks good, before I pick it. I am able to pick sample cards for insert sets and parallel sets, but don't have enough site points to do base sets. If you are unable to do this, the empty box will not be present. And you cannot change a sample card if one has already been picked.

Thanks for the QUICK reply switzr! I guess I don't have the points and/or permission yet. I have over 7300 points but all my permission levels are stuck b/c I don't have 1 year in yet.

I agree with Billy. I try to mix up players and teams within the same set. Especially with parallels, since the picture is the same too.

How many points are required to pick the sample cards?
