I've run into this issue several times while trying to update my collection and it's frustrating beyond end. People add a subset, say, 2015 Panini USA Stars & Stripes - Game Gear Materials Signatures Longevity Emerald, but they leave out ALL notes. This is total crap, especially for Panini sets where you have to watch the card counts because the prints are not always the same number. Can an admin PLEASE ad a way to easily fix this? 

Thank you

i think this was brought up before. i know its troublesome esp with the card #'s. I've seen some checklist where the card was numbered vice lettered .. like many of the Topps Triple Threads are. i know,  Card 1.. vice TTR-EM instead. It be nice to have the ability to edit the card numbers, like ability is there for team names and notes. 

I would say to everyone that watch out for Panini cards when creating checklists.  I know of 1 set checklist that lists the numbers i.e. 1,2,3,, but does not list the prefix for the various subsets.

Understand your pain, but with proper permissions you are able to change the card #.

There are alot of checklists that are incorrectly annotated on this site and it takes a person with the right permissions and desires to change them. I for one am going back and adding scans of the cards I own that do no thave pne presently and updating the notes, card numbers, teams missing etc. I just takes time and someone wanting to do it.

Under the quick link section there is a tab for things to do. Lots of changes and additions that need to be fix.

Yes, but is there a way to add cards to sets that already have incomplete checklists? I ran into that issue while trying to add 2 cards of the same player in the same set, but 2 different parallels.

I know your pain. This site drives me nuts sometimes with all of the missing or incorrect info. All we can do is continue to work on making it the best database there is online. As for checklists without notes, some of us don't have a way of adding all of that at one time. I can't speak for the lazy ones, but any time I add a checklist by text-only, I do go back and add the info for the sets afterwards. The main complication there is when an entire insert set (ie. AU's and/or GU's) has different serial numbers for most of the cards.

If you want to fix card number screw-ups, you have to get to the permission level to fix that. I have done it with MANY Racing sets that listed NNO cards with a number or sets that had a number instead of letters. It would be nice if the manufacturers could help us out by going a standard route instead of constantly changing the way they "number" cards in any specific release.

Yeah, I think I may just add missing sets and the checklists for anything I find inaccurate.

In addition, if you find errors, Admin is great at handling the comments that are given through clicking the "Report any innaccuracies" link. I've been trying to clean up the baseball sets (and glossary) as much as I can. It's a pretty daunting task, but I've made a good dent (started at over 7000 sets with missing definitions, and we're down under 5000 now). Yes, there are plenty of errors here - but it's still the most accurate site for all sports and non-sports.

RE: Glossary entries

Currently, there are 14,352 sets across 12 of the 14 categories we have here. Here is the breakdown by sport (category):

Baseball - 4917
Basketball - 2388
Boxing - 0
Football - 4393
Golf - 6
Hockey - 1216
Misc Sports - 0
MMA - 4
Multi-Sport - 48
Non-Sport - 305
Racing - 1030
Soccer - 36
Tennis - 1
Wrestling - 8

I've almost gotten baseball down to football's numbers. I did a little work on the smaller numbers a couple months back, but they really are not my specialty, so I'm not sure I can help any more with those. I'd love to see some other people help on those (as well as baseball). I wonder how soon we can clean these up?

i want to make sure I'm on the same page- i never really dug into the Missing Abbrev, but for something like this one:

Football 2013 Score

Note   Description

FF     (add)    |delete

The FF is in the glossary as Future Franchise which the card is. So, that needs to be included in the "add" field as well? even though its already in the glossary?
