Hi,

The BaseballCardPedia page for each of these set talks about Convention Parallels that were issued:

The 1998 Donruss Signature Series has the following convention parallels:

• Sportsfest 1999 (August 19-22, Chicago, IL)
• Superbowl XXXIV (January 26-30, Atlanta, GA)

The 1998 Leaf Rookies & Stars has the following Convention Parallels:

• Super Bowl XXXIII (January 21-24, 1999, Miami, FL)
• Sportsfest '99 (June 17-20, Philadelphia, PA)
• The 20th National (July 18-22, 1999, Atlanta, GA)
• Super Bowl XXXIV (January 26-30, 2000 Atlanta, GA)
• The 21st National (July 27-30, 2000, Anaheim, CA)

It is unknown if each base card from these sets has a parallel for each Convention, but they do know that there are Ken Griffey Jr. card parallels for each of conventions listed for each set (11 parallels for the Donruss Signature Series and 5 for the Leaf Rookies & Stars).

I know that for some of these convention or parallel sample parallel sets that a set could be added to the site for each parallel and then users can request a card be added to the checklist if they have it or know that it does exist.

I do have the "1998 Donruss Signature #111 John Olerud The 21st National (July 27-30, Anaheim, CA)" parallel.

Are these sets that can get added for individuals to request specific cards to be added? For sure the Ken Griffey card from each set can be added to each of the Convention Parallel checklists.

I wanted to ask for opinions and thoughts before I go and enter 16 IRs. I do want to get the card I have added to the site if possible.

Thanks!

The convention sets are added by set, not by card. Buybacks are the only exception to the "complete set only" rule.

So that means the sets would only be added if it could be proven that each base card existed for each convention parallel (at least a known checklist of what was released for each convention)? I just want to make sure I understand.

So we can list show stamp cards now?

Only of they were released as a complete set. One off's that were done at the shows, bring your own card(s) in and get it stamped, are still not listable.
