Site Forum

Yes, it REALLY is that bad. Updating cells in an excel file is far easier than updating each field in a partial checklist.

Remember 2018 Topps when the SPs were missing. I think it was like 80 to 100 cards. It took me 3 to 4 hours to enter them individually. Updating a set is just as bad (if not worse, adding one card is loading only one page, while each piece of data being updated requires a separate page load).

Yes, it's bad. Very bad. Plus it removes it from the Missing Checklist report.

Sounds good; I'll use the Forum for the individual sets to record partial checklists, and hopefully others can help fill in the blanks. The downside is that the known cards won't show up in a search by player. I may be in a vast minority here, but that is primarily what I use the site for. But it's a minor inconvenience compared to the wealth of data already available.

I don't think you're in the minority there. It seems like there are a lot of player (and team, or both) collectors out there. I know I have both, and I use the filters all the time. And yes, there are cards I have that aren't listed.

There are exceptions to adding the TBD/TBA info in sets, and that's when there has been extensive research already done. A minor league baseball team set from 3 years ago will be found soon enough. One from 1932, maybe not so much. Admin has allowed them, and some have been added without approval. I have a user list with the ones I have found (or have been alerted to). A few that were on the list have been updated and subsequently removed from my list. TBD/TBA should be used only as a last resort, when all other avenues have been fully exhausted - and the set is a known quantity of cards.
