This is where the problem lies. Everytime somebody reports wrong scans, but doesn't have the right cards to replace them with, somebody who is unaware of the variation re-enters a wrong scan. I know Jupiter reported all the bad scans 3 or 4 years ago, but they gradually all showed up again. I've probably reported some myself, but I only own cards with the disclaimer, so I can't scan the no-disclaimers. I can only report the errors and hope that somebody with the right card gets to the missing scan first. But maybe if some of you got together with the Admin and set up a specific date, Admin could remove the bad and you could add the good, without any stragglers having a chance to scan bad ones in between.

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.

As I mentioned, I have the factory set, with NO disclaimers. I have the permission level to replace scans. I've been slowly scanning and replacing "disclaimers". It's slow going because the factory set is not in numerical order and it gets monotonous quickly (have to take breaks from it).
Maybe we should tell Admin to STOP removing Disclaimer Backs and I'll eventually get them all replaced.

The "disclaimer backs" were issued first before their lawsuit against the NFL was settled. Once they won, they reissued the complete set and 1000-Yard set without the disclaimer. They left the fronts unchanged, even though team logos were supposed to be in the green box where the football is.
I've noticed "disclaimer backs" have repopulated the regular backs. My factory set has regular backs (NO disclaimers). So, I have the complete regular backs at my disposal to replace scans.

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

Good idea. I had forgotten that you could replace scans. I was thinking that the photo needed to be empty to submit a scan. It totally makes sense to do it this way.

I literally asked to have a disclaimer back removed yesterday without even thinking that, with no example, some might think to just jam in the back of the card they have, wether it's correct or not. I don't think there is any easy fix, just continue to be vigilant, as I've seen all the collectors here do. I had my boil over last week with the multitude of parallels and inserts and everyone here was informative and understanding. Just keep making the corrections and eventually we''l fill em! My 2 cents...

I am wondering if this set will be receiving the "released with multiple variations" treatment that many of the Donruss baseball sets and others have had, with the disclaimer backs becoming variations? Or will they remain a parallel?
Is there a preferred means of suggesting a set for that? Are the forums the best place?

An IR, that then can be turned over to Admin to handle.
