Or in this case, a checklist of only 1 card, when it's well-known that there are more than the one card.
When I went and looked, the full checklist was available at one site and most of the checklist was available from other sites.
If this hadn't already been added as 1 card, it would have taken me about 3-5 minutes to format the checklist in excel and upload it. As it was, I had to add the remainder of the checklist card by card, and it took about a half hour. Thanks.

Thanks for the hard work and dedication, Dan. Personally, this issue is a real HOT BUTTON for me.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.

Fortunately, it's the only checklist that person has ever added. Thanks for the hard work Dan, making the site better and caring about more than just your own collection. I appreciate you guys who spend hours making the site as accurate as possible!

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Thanks to C2Cigars for actually noticing and telling me about it (venting). I share in his frustration and was getting a little bored of scanning a set, so I took it on as a challenge to see what I could find. Started the internet search by finding cards here and there, kinda like a game. Made it a little less frustrating. Then found the full checklist, including the errors/corrected versions in the usual place. I just wish others would be a little more considerate. Just because someone has a card, doesn't mean it HAS to be catalogued here. Get all the info together first. It's not that tough.

Oh I disagree with you there. If I have a card, it MUST be catalogued here. In fact, whether I think it can be catalogued here has actually influenced whether I bid on a card on eBay, which, in turn, inspired me to put in three checklists. Maybe someday, I’ll even be good at it.

I'm surprised the complete checklist hadn't been added years ago when I was making my big minor league sweep. I actually collect a player in this set, making it even more surprising. I wonder if it somehow got replaced.

Actually, Admin prefers using "TBA" in the name for the unknown cards. And yes, for an obscure set, fine. But not a 1985 minor league set that contains a player who was one of the hottest cards in the market at one point. There was plenty of info out there. A little research could have been done. Obviously, none was.
