I have this "card" that I can add but I wanted to know how best to add it. It is made of a cloth material that was a test issue of 1988 Topps set. It consists of 121 cards that I can add with a checklist but I wanted to know if I should add it as a stand alone set under odd ball, which I'm leaning to, rather than an insert set in the 1988 Topps since it is stated as "backdoored" into the market.

Other cloth sets are stand-alones aren't they? ------------------------------- Follow my blog - I Identify as a Card Collector. “Aslan didn't tell Pole what would happen. He only told her what to do.

I did not think about searching for other "cloth" test card and yes they are found in 1972 and 1977 cloth in oddball. I will add the checklist to oddball. Thanks Sportzcommish! Also, I have more to send you! Hopefully I can get that out to you in the next month.

Before posting a checklist, I would consult with Admin. History has shown that these types of sets don't get listed here, but each set is treated on a case by case basis.

Very kind of you as always. How'd you come across these cloth cards? I have an Astros logo sticker that I received in a recent trade and I love it!
