I really should not have to say this or explain it, but the most recent gallery had a card selected where half the card is cropped off selected as the sample image. Now it makes more work to put a decent scan in it's place, and really, why would anyone think that was acceptable in the first place?
Steps have already been taken to remove it.
But please stop making it harder for those of us who care enough to do it right and bothering Admin to remove an image that should never have been posted, let alone made the sample image.

And to piggy back on this post about adding scans - if you notice that a card (or set) seems to be listed twice, instead of uploading the same scans to both locations, question why you might be using the same exact scans for the same card in two locations.
We try very hard here to keep a record of each card - once. Please think about that when you're uploading images.
There should never be an instance where you would be able to use the same images more than once.

That reminds me I need to locate my unripped A&G Rip card. A week or so ago I while trying to rememer which one I had (I had to check some of my mail-day posts on some forums) I noticed the back for that card here in the database has 90% paper loss so you can't tell what is on the back at all. Since mine is unripped it shows the full back. I'm not sure when I'll do that project SIGH.

I think I found a duplicate listed, 1982 Topps baseball has the "team leaders/checklist" cards listed in the set. There is also a seperate listing under inserts and related sets as a mail in set. Could someone verify this?

Those came in a mail-in offer as an uncut sheet. I don't know if they are any different from the standard (an extra asterisk of something minor) but if not I don't think they belong here, considering pretty much all cards originate from an uncut sheet.
Edit: upon further review, these might be perforated, and therefore absolutely belong here.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Then if they're perforated we may have another problem with uploading incorrect images as those on the mail-in set don't look perforated to me.

I'm not sure where you're getting that they were perforated. The sheets were of a thinner (different) cardstock because the sheet was folded for mailing.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Chuck, the baseballcardpedia link says it. Maybe it's wrong, but that's where I had read it too.
