Yes it's a sticker question. On the 1988 Topps Stickers is there any way to remove the back pictures and list them on a 1988 Topps Sticker Back listing? I have many that are not the same backs that are listed for the fronts. (Did that make sense?) I think since some of them have a seperate listing for the backs shouldn't we remove the pictures of the backs on the front listing? It would make it a lot easier than adding all those back variations, don't you think?

I would help a bit more but I have no clue which sport it is you ask about, if you could add a link to the set and/or an example of your kerfufle I'd be a happy man. =) Thanks terrbear, I'm just a lowly hockey guy. =(

Terrbear5951 was talking about the Baseball Topps stickers.

Looks like in the base set people were listing all of their versions of each card. In the Sticker back set, they had the image of the "back" as a peeled sticker.

Yes I am talking about baseball, my bad. Its kind of a mess. If I had the okay and the knowledge to do so I would fix it, but I don't have either.

Terr I just happen to have open a couple of packs looking for ripken jr. which I found anyway I know what you mean I don't know how you are org your stickers but I just leave the backs alone if in a binder I use a 3x5 card marking who is on the back sticker if I can if not, I look it up but all in all I keep the sticker in tack.

Thanks SDC ............. its THAT set. We have had numerous talks about it and all agree it needs to be fixed. Admin would be a good place to start as they might give you a list of to dos on fixing and even possibly a how-to.

I had recently asked Admin about this, since the backs had their own listing. The reply was to keep the listings as is:

"The main reason being that cards with certain backs might be more valuable than others, so therefore should be treated as separate entities."

So, let's leave it alone.

So, by extension, does that mean that if someone has a front/back pairing that is not currently listed it should be added as a variation?  Or do we know that all of the as-manufactured pairings are currently captured on the checklist?

Add them.

We know they are not all listed, because I have a few that aren't listed. So do I send a picture to the forum so someone can add them to the list? It will have to be a picture because I'm not completely sure who some of the players are just by their picture.
