1977-79 Sportscaster Series 88 Multi-Sport Forum

Can somebody please give out the details for what is the exact difference between this set and the regular set.  Print Run A is very vague. 

I don't know much about the set, but supposedly there's a letter by itself on the lower back designating "A", "B", "C", etc., and depending on print run, the main text may be slightly different.

Looking at the current base checklist, I'm wondering if this Winfield is a "Print A"??

Yes, that image is from the A set (base set has no letter at the bottom)

Yes A, IR is in to move the images

So is there a print run "B"? Is there a print run "C"? If there is a print run "B" and "C", why weren't those sets added? How can somebody add print run "A" without figuring out the checklist for print run "B" and print run "C"?   Dan, can you please lecture the contributor that he needs to do his due diligence when making variation additions to sets. Glad to know I'm not the only idiot who made that kind of  mistake. 

As this is a higher series, those print runs may not exist. These cards were sold as a subscription over several years, whenever you started your subscription you got series 1 first. I assume the early series had more print runs, while the later series wouldn't have as many people keep their subscriptions that long, so not as many print runs were needed.

Looking through these, there are probably a number of these missing the parallel print runs. Lots of scans in the main sets have the later print runs on the bottom. Checklists are easy enough to create since they are parallel, but to move scans around will take an IR. I don't think it is safe to assume that all sets had the same number of print runs though, but if the scans show it exists, I see no issue with adding the Print Run as a parallel set. 

This set was added in 2015 before a lot of the stardards that we need were established.  No need to lecture someone that did not have the benefit of the many resources we have today. 

As a membership, questions can be asked to complete a checklist.  A member that has more experience with the site or set can assist, but a complete checklist is the key.  I can help if I know the answer, only if the membership wants the help and can learn from past experiences.  We can only grow together.
