And as you can see tonigtht another Aussie Rules set has had images completed. I don't think AFL is there yet as it is focussed solely on one country. But the international appeal of this site is growing at a huge rate.

Australian Rules Football- 337 base sets
Cricket- 481 base sets
Rugby- 206 base sets
Horse Racing-76 base sets

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project. |

How about Indo-Pacific as a category, or better yet Commonwealth. I mean the 3 are mainly played in Commonwealth countries so why not?

With the AFL having that many sets I contract my earlier statement, and throw support to that style of 'Footy' having a catagory as well.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

This sounds like a good idea but wonder how many newer members would be confused where to find them. After seeing how many AFL and Cricket sets there are I think they should be added as categories but the drop down is getting full. Maybe there could be a toggle in the header somewhere for North America and Global. All it would really do is make the drop downs more accesseble. I know there would be some logistics to work out and Some of the non-sports sets would be a bit messy with with sets from Ireland and such, but just thowing out an idea. At any rate, a couple new categories in the drop down for now shouldn't be too much.
Maybe if they don't make many Boxing sets, it could be combined with MMA or something. I know they aren't the same, but very similar. Maybe if amateur wrestling has sets include it too. Change Wrestling to Pro Wrestling. Again, just ideas in case more categories need to be added and the drop down gets too big.

How do those numbers spread out over the years? What is the average sets per year?

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

Opens up a new (small) can of worms -- multi-sport Down Under players.
Milford Laurenson "Curly" Page (8 May 1902 – 13 February 1987) was a New Zealand Test cricketer and rugby union player, who represented his country in both sports.
Ol' Curly Page, whose PID remains in Misc Sports, has his only card in the database as a Cricket player.
