2008-09 Topps Hardwood Basketball Forum

I have a rookie variation of 2008-09 Topps Hardwood that I am trying to get added to my collection.  However, I noticed that there is an actual insert set listed on the database as "Rookie Variations".  I would normally think that these variations should just be on the normal checklist for the set.  Is there something I am not aware of, or are these listed here wrong?

If they are wrong, any idea how this would go about being fixed?  Seems like it would be a pretty big change to make.

Thanks!

I would contact Admin about this. I was looking at the different insert sets like Hardwood, Mahogany, and Maple and saw the rookie variations listed as a B version. I would think that we should put in the rookie versions in the base set and delete the insert set. I also think those insert sets I mentioned earlier should be changed to a parallel set.

i am going to go ahead and submit an innacuracy for the set like you suggest.  And I agree as well, those should be changed to parallels.  I have noticed that some of the older sets have parallels mixed in with the inserts.  

I do believe that at one point all non-base sets were lumped into the Inserts/Related section, without any further qualifiers. When the additional breakdown was added, the default was everything is an "Insert". It's only because of those who go through the older sets, that we get these moved to therir proper designation. (And actually, parallels are technically "inserts" as they are inserted in packs, so while technically correct, it would be like listing Poodles under "Dogs" when "Domesticated Dogs" is also available.)

LMAO....that last sentence.  When I read it I got a mental image of a pack of wild poodles, with their poofy haircuts, roaming the countryside.
