1983 ASA The Juan Marichal Story Baseball Forum

All of these ASA sets (Aaron, Berra, DiMaggio, Feller, Marichal, Mays, Mize, B. Robinson, F. Robinson, Snider & Spahn) can be found in both Green border and red border variations.  I believe the green border is more common (older references only referred to the green border).  Is there an easy way to enter parallel sets for these?  I left the #3 card in the Marichal set as the red border toshow the difference.  Once the parallels are created, I will load the correct card.  Note: The #1 card of each set can be found autographed or not autographed; I notified admin suggesting the autographed version be listed as #1b.

If you have Level 6 permissions it's very easy to create parallels. Did you want to know how to do it? Or did you need someone to create it?

I have level 6 but have never done it.  Either refresh me or go ahead and do it.  As well, not sure how to edit the list to add card 1b if we go that route.

You need Level 8 to add a card to checklists and Level 7 to edit card numbers. I think the 1b variation is a fine idea. I added another #1 card and edited the card numbers for a #1a and #1b. Here's the steps for creating a parallel set. Give it a try. If it all goes wrong Admin can always save you. Let me know how it goes.

- click on Insert and Related Sets
- choose Click here to submit an insert or related set
- Set Name: "Red" or "Red Border"; Type: Parallel; Total Cards: 12
- click Submit
- go to the newly created set
- choose Click here to copy the checklist from a different set
- From: (Base Set); To: "Red" or "Red Border" whichever you chose to call it

I did that but it did not give me the option to copy fromt eh base set.  It said there was no set eligible to copy from.  Not sure if it is because I put in 12 cards when there are now 13 with the Autographed version.

There's a note that says sets with variations can't be copied. We can create the parallels, copy the checklists, then add the variations.

I just did the Willie Mays set.  It does not show the 1b card so the checklist was copied.  Would it be easier to copy all of the sets first and then add teh autographed 1b card?

I also just did the Frank Robinson set and it had teh AU card variant in the checklist.  The checklist did transfer for it as well so I think it was what I called teh parallel for the Juan Marichal set that caused it not to work.  I simply put "Red Border" while for the other two, I actually put the full name of the set.

Now the next question is how to move images that are already entered with a red border to the parallel set?  There is the one in the Marichal set adn one in F Robinson as well.  I have not checked the other sets yet.

The Frank Robinson worked because there are no actual variations. Notice the Errors/Variations link is grayed out. There needs to be a "1a" and a "1b" for recognized variations.  Frank Robinson only had a "1a".  I've taken care of the Juan Marichal Red Border checklist.

Limit the parallel set name to just "Red Border".

OK will do that.  But some still are not corrected for the origial that showed the #1 card being AU, e.g. Bob Feller.  Do you wish to change all of these before making the parallel sets?  I listed all of the sets in my original post if you don't have them.
