I’ve noticed some (not all) of the modern stadium giveaway Starting Lineup figures (since 2016?) have been issued with a corresponding card. Just a glance saw Ryan Braun, Dave Stewart, and a Randy Johnson. I don’t know enough about these to know if they are all produced by the same manufacturer or how they would even be listed here (ie is each a separate “set”?, do they even meet criteria for listing?). Not sure what to even ask but I am willing to help out with researching known examples (good luck getting many scans). Anyone have others? 

I just saw them advertising a Randy Johnson perfect game figure and card a couple days ago watching a Dbacks game.  I thought to myself that would be cool to have that card, but then I bet I couldn't log it anywhere on the database.  

There are also a couple NBA ones. I don't have enough information to post a checklist.

There are some SLU card sets on TCDB. 1988 Tigers talking baseball for example.

Did that make you not want the card?

I’m almost embarrassed to say- but yes. Haha. 

Do the modern SLU figures NOT have a CL on the back of the package anymore? I haven't seen any of the figures from the past many years, but most of the SLU and McFarlane figures I own or have owned had a CL on the back telling how many in that specific run and who they were. If they don't have a CL on the packages, they'll be a bit difficult to track down a complete CL (much like many of the early-2000's NASCAR die-cast cars that had cards in the packages). For example, some of the Racing Champions cars and/or figures had cards made by them, but others had cards made by Press Pass Inc. or other card companies. Without a CL on the package, they are hard to create without a bunch of research.

No checklist on the backs, it’s essentailly like a bobble head coming with a card in the package. Ordered a Braun just for kicks so we’ll see, might have some kind of sponsorship involved. I’m almost thinking each would be a separate one card set as discovered anyway since they are individually produced and not corresponding to others? 

To the best of my knowledge , all the newer Starting Lineups were stadium giveaways . I would say that each is it's own set , maybe they should be listed as team issue as they were only available at each teams stadium .
