Two points:

One - Chuck was correct, I and I was incorrect. The FAQ specifically states: "Team cards can link every player pictured as long as each player can be differentiated." This means that it truly is an "all or nothing" approach that is supposed to be used on Team cards.

Two - the 1986 football checklists - If you notice, the "Bears Team" and "Patriots Team" writing is different, and not the set the same as the other card names. This is to help show that the cards following the team card are all from that particular team. Rather than using a header and then basically repeating that on the next line with the first card for that team, they have done it this way. Perfectly fine for linking the teams for these.

Dan, it says "Team cards can link every player pictured as long as each player can be differentiated." That doesn't mean it has to link every player, but every player can be linked as long as said linked player can be positively identified. 
Neither does it say team cards cannot be linked unless you can identify every player. 
I believe admins intent was to allow us to link as many players as could be positively identified, but if people think this is unclear, shouldn't we ask admin?

Maybe it makes sense to link individual players like the Cubs team cards of the 70's like this one from 1974.

I first read "Team cards can link every player pictured as long as each player can be differentiated" the way Dan does (3:07pm timestamp), with "every" being the operative word. But I can also see how Tscastle reads it.

If Admin is willing to consider a revision, should the rule read: "Team cards should link to individual players only if every player on the card can be identified."

Or, if Tscastle is right on the intent "to allow us to link as many players as could be positively identified," should the rule read: "Team cards can link any player pictured as long as the player can be differentiated."
