Site Forum

I need some help. This site has a set called "1995 Upper Deck Metallic Impressions Mickey Mantle", It is five cards and they are numbered on the back '1 of 5', '2 of 5', etc. Here's the checklist:

'1 of 5' 1956 - Triple Crown Season
'2 of 5' 1957 - Second Consecutive MVP
'3 of 5' 1961 - Chaising The Babe
'4 of 5' 1964 - Series Home Run Record
'5 of 5' 1967 - 500th Home Run

I have another "1995 Upper Deck Metallic Impressions Mickey Mantle". It has eight cards and they are numbered  on the back 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and 8. Numbers 3 thru 7 are the exact  same cards as the first set, just numbered differently on the back. Numbers 1,2 and 8 are not included in the first set. Here's the checklist fr the second set:

1 1951 - The Early Years
2 1953 - Tape Measure Home Runs
3 1956 - Triple Crown Season
4 1957 - Second Consecutive MVP
5 1961 - Chaising The Babe
6 1964 - Series Home Run Record
7 1967 - 500th Home Run
8 1974 - Hall of Fame

MY QUESTION: What is the best way to enter the second set?  It's not really parallel? Should I enter it as a completely different set? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Caveat: Not that Beckett is always right...

Looks like it's only one set. Looks like the one that we currently have is incorrect.

Alert Admin. If you cannot enter the right info, they can.

Checked out the Beckett site. Did a bit more research. Found out this set was packaged in at least three different ways.

- 5 Card Set
- 8 Card Set
- 10 Card Set

The 5 card set was packaged in a small tin. The 8 and 10 card sets were packaged in a larger tin. Some of the sets were distributed by Avon.

My first instinct is to leave the existing 5 card set in the database and add two more sets to the database. The sets were sold with three different types of packaging and were also numbered differently.

I assume whoever added the original set, only had the 5 card set. Probably didn't even know the others existed. I have the 5 and the 8 card set and until Dan responded, I didn't know there was a 10 card set.

Any other comments?

Thanks!
