I was trying to log some cards in the 1987 Topps football section and was struggling to figure out what in the world the variations C*, D*, and C* D* meant. Turns out that part of my trouble was the card in my hand is a B*. and the next one is an A*. Does anyone know what those mean? And what is to be done about adding these silly variations to the master checklist? I don't care about them, they just make it harder to log cards. But I suppose people who want to do a master set would want to know about a B* and A* variation (I assume they already know, but I didn't, and it isn't on the master checklist).

-------------------------------

Generally, the condition I look for is: 1800s-1929 - G and up (1+)... 1930-1951 - VGEX and up (2.5+).. 1952-1967 - EX and up (5+)... 1968-1978 - EXMT and up (6.5+)... 1979-1994 - EXMT/NM and up (7.5+)... 1995-present - NM+ and up (8.5+)

Are you saying that you have a card with A* and then the same card with B*?

The cards with A* and B* should appear on just the Master Set checklist, not on the C/D ones. The letter represents what sheet a card was printed on. ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *
