2015 Topps Baseball Forum

What are your thoughts on linking these two cards back to Mike Schmidt?

2015 Topps base and mini card # 659 Jimmy Rollins CL, HL

No. It's a Jimmy Rollins card, as printed on the front. Other players pictured on a player's card do not get linked.

First two sentences

Gents,

I read that whole section about "How do I link multiple names to a single card" before making my post. It is sentence two "Team cards can link players pictured as long as the player can be correctly identified" that raised my question. The Jimmy Rollins card has two easily idenifieable players on it the second player being Mike Schmidt.

With that said, there was a recently added card to this site which completly contradicts that second sentense, 2022 Topps base set # 321 City of Walk-Off Love. The card is a Phillies highlight card depicting Bryce Harper and another player of whom is not identifiable on the card front or back. But yet, the second player is linked to Rafael Marchan but I believe it is Phillies Catcher Andrew Knapp. Rafael wore # 13 for the Phillies in 2021 and Andrew wore # 5. If you look real close at the center of the card, you can barely make out the top part of the # 5 on the sleeve of the unidentified player.

How is this card ok and the card I suggested not ok?

Both cards are considered a "Team Card" both cards are "Checklists", and both cards deal with team season highlights.

Name right on front says "Jimmy Rollins" - therefore Schmidt does not get a link per the rules stated.

The Rollins is not a "team card". It's a set checklist card with Rollins specifically named on the front. A team card is usually a team photo (where we don't link to anyone unless ALL are identifiable) or an action shot with multiple players and the name on the front is just the team or something like "Running to the NL East Title!"...something that does not identify a specific player.

Also the 2022 Topps card (base and parallels) you mentioned has been corrected to Knapp instead of Marchan. That's definitely Knapp.
