There's no checklist for this set but I have one card from it.  Can I submit the one card to the checklist and leave it for others to update or do we only submit complete checklists?  Just curious.

Complete only, please. Complete checklists are one simple file upload. To add cards to an incomplete checklist is a card-by-card addition. In this case, 24 separate card additions.

I did a quick search and could only find evidence of about 14 or so of these. And, there was a lot of player duplication, and no numbers. Ugh!

When I first joined this site I found a checklist that someone had submitted with only the Lakers in it. I emailed the admin and asked him to delete it so that I could submit the complete checklist and they responded to just send them what was missing and they would add them like it wasn't a big deal.

And I did and they added the 90%+ of what was missing. And the world kept turning.

I have no clue what this set is that you refer to but after 25+ years if there isn't a complete checklist than a partial checklist for an oddball 20 card set sounds like a good place to start. Or it can just remain a set without a checklist for another 25 years in the spirit of complete checklists. Or maybe Beckett put it in his book and someone just needs to copy it? Good luck to all of you in your collecting and thank you for contributing to this resource.

I do agree with C2Cigars in the beauty of submitting a complete excel file with all of those headings and columns completely filled...and with the Note column that Panini has made such a challenge! In a perfect world it would always be like that.

Just what Admin needs...more work.  A few months back a new member who collected a single player uploaded 102 one-card checklists. That's 102 checklists that only Admin can fix. Just so they could catalog their personal collection. No effort was made to find the complete checklists. All they cared about was themselves and to heck with the extra work for others.

Imagine the mess this database would be if every member took this attitude. A bunch of incomplete, inaccurate checklists. What good is that to the collecting community? I believe this site should strive to become known for its accuracy and completeness.

I helped Admin out with that one, in identifying the new sets, although he probably could have found them easier looking through the change log himself. I agree that we should strive for completeness, however, if the info just isn't there (especially for this type of "set" - it's really a game, but it has photos of baseball players on the cards), we still should enter at least what we do kinow. That said, ever effort should be made to find the complete checklist, not just submit a checklist of one card because you have it and want to catalog it.

One more point. Once a one-card or incomplete checklist is uploaded it is removed from the Things to Do, Missing Checklists. Hence, the search is over. Members won't know to keep searching for the complete checklist.

I hope whoever entered all those one card checklists had their checklist sumbission priveleges revoked. I didn't see any of that. I have found in the last month at least 6 checklists that were uploaded with only part of the checklist included in the NBA listing. Admin has got to be getting tired of seeing a correction from me!

For rare sets that the information is sketchy about at best, a partial checklist is better than no checklist...BUT, (this is important) the unknown card subjects should be listed as TBA, NOT left off the checklist. There are some tobacco era sets where one or two cards are not known what they are, yet the other 48 or 49 (usual number for tobacco era sets) is, that missing card- if it's ever found- can be updated later.

Personally it bugs me whenever anybody enters a checklist that's missing the teams where applicable. The way I see it is either do it right or don't do it at all.

I'm going to need to see C2Cigars and Admin in the same room at the same time to verify that they are two different people. I'm actually amazed that there isn't more trolling that goes on here as open as the site is. I have a lot of Star basketball incomplete checklists on my hard drive waiting to be completed.

Which ones? (Star Co stuff)
