Card Identification Forum

Unfortunately, as an unlicensed "Broder" set, it won't be documented here. I don't know if there are any other resources on the web for unlicensed cards with partial checklists, but other members here might.

We have plenty of other Broders (aka, stolen image sets) listed here. The biggest difficulty is knowing if you have the 'full" checklist. So now we know there were 5 Jordan cards for this. Were there other Jordan cards? Other players? Other sports? And without any copyright (real or not), more can be printed and recreated at any time. I could print up a batch of 5 more with 5 different pictures, same borders, and stats through 88-89 to make them look like 1989-90 cards. That's the biggest problem with these.

This is for my personal information, as well as any others who are confused.

So is this why we list unlicensed cards like Panini baseball? Because we have a full checklist?

I was always under the impression that Broder cards did not get listed here at all due to a) the fact that they are homemade ("Broder" is an umbrella term that applies to all such cards, if I'm not mistaken) and b) there is not a full checklist to be found. 

Solution: if we have a full checklist, we can document. If we do not, we cannot. Is that about right?

Pretty much, correct. Except there are no limitations here about not listing Broder (or other Broder-type) sets.

But, we do have a category called "Unlicensed", and just looking at 1990 baseball (even a couple of Star Co sets got in that one):

hphillips - thanks. I added the 3 cards. Somebody please put the correct info into Note2.

An incomplete checklist is only part of the problem with broder cards. There is no way to know when they were produced, how many were made, or how they were distributed. Most of all, they are produced illeagaly. There is no permission from the player, team or league to use the images. They probobly didn't pay the photographer ethier, often lifting immages from other sources. Also, Panini is liscensed by the players association.
