OK, so I submitted an IR regarding the 1997 Select Company set in regards to the fact that the Promo cards are not correct. What is shown are the base promo cards not the Select Company Samples. I have 7 different SAMPLES. Now what? Where does the IR go from here? Also, the SAMPLES are called SAMPLES on the backs of the cards not PROMOS and should be listed as such. Just my opinion. I would add a picture but I don't know how.

Patience, and it will be handled by those who can.

Additionally, The Samples set are the base card Samples and have nothing to do with any Select Company Samples. Not sure what the problem is other than a possible missing set.

I know the samples on this site are base card samples. The ones I have are the Company samples. If you look at the 1997 Select company set you will see the base cards for that set. My samples look exactly those. Alternately, if you click on the Inserts and related link you will see that the samples are not the Company samples but the base samples in with the base set.

So basically, all you're asking for us to do is add the "Select Company Samples" set, correct?

OK. Do this. Put in the search 1997 Select. Then click on 1997 Select - Company. Then click on Inserts and related sets. You will see at the bottom that the PROMS/SAMPLES pictured are the 1997 Select base SAMPLES and not the Company samples. Don't know how you're going to fix this but these are the facts.

Select Company is a parallel to the Select base cards.  The Samples set are samples of base cards; as they should be.

If you have a set of Select Company samples, then a listing needs to be created for them.

This was a request for an additional set. The set and its checklist have now been added.

Thanks, that's all you had to do. Now if you could clean up 1997 Select and the PROMOS/SAMPLES that would be great. These SAMPLES are listed twice and as PROMOS. According to the backs of these cards they are SAMPLES not PROMOS. If this site is geared to be correct and the best it can be then change the set headings to SAMPLES SETS 2 not PROMO SETS 2. And to C2Cigars, the Select - Company Samples are not samples of the base set but samples of the Select - Company parallel set.

Sometimes you folks make things so difficult as though the powers that be are the only ones who knows what's going on. My opinion.

OK, a couple things here:

There are already IRs in place to move the Gwynn card out from the single-card area to the Samples set. This will get cleaned up. Again, patience. The deletion of the images in that location requires review and approval by Admin. Admin is very busy.

There are limited "categories" for sets. Insert, Mail-in, Parallel, Proof, or Promo are the 5 options we have to list these. Promos, Samples, Prototypes, Previews, etc. all fall under the "Promo" umbrella. If you don't like that, I can't help you - only Admin can add to that list. PM Admin to complain about that.

What C2Cigars stated is 100% accurate.

Actually, you complicated things by not understanding the database. There was a set for the Samples (base set versions - with images). There was no set for the Select Company Samples. All we had to do was add the set and add a checklist. A single Inaccuracy Report, with nothing in the forums would have sufficed, which it does for countless other sets.
