Card Identification Forum

It is simply frustrating that there are 2 different versions; I guess what is considered "hobby" and then "retail". I'm asking if the difference between them for this particular set is the serial number. I check the scan on the checklist overview, and the card posted has no serial number, which mine does. I thought that "hobby" was more exclusive? Is the scan in the overview in the wrong checklist or does the retail have the serial number? Sometimes I miss the days of the only insert/parallel set said 1000 yard club. The card in question is 37, William Green. Thank you in advance.

Nope, you're right. The Browns cards that I scanned into the base (hobby) set all appear to be retail. I'll send a note to admin to ask to have them moved there.

It is funny because in other years the hobby is shiny/glossy (or whatever) while the retail is plain. I'm guessing that when I entered them I figured they were hobby. Sorry.

I guess it would have been useful for whoever set up the checklist to note that the cards were all numbered.

Just another example why the set Overview needs more information.  See this forum post Parallels & Similar Set Confusion.  Admin hasn't given any feedback on my suggestion.

i just checked footballchecklist.com checklist there.. the hobby is serialized to 1150.. the retail does not list serial numbers.

I found the same info which is why I answered the initial post. As to why I would have scanned the cards there to begin with, I generally look at other cards on the checklist to see if what I have matches. I must have seen cards with no serial number and figured they were the proper ones.

I appreciate the help and by no means am I sharpshooting, I just get confused by the glut of parallel sets that is put out for consumption. Thank you all for setting me straight here... one more question answered, thank you
