1994 PMC Ayrton Senna Racing Forum

Even after the many discussions we have had on this topic, a most recent one https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Forum.cfm/Page/I/ID/0/?MODE=VIEW&ThreadID=10778  just before this partial checklist was uploaded, we still have issues.  I recently won 24 of the cards from this set at auction ($1 Cdn) for my son and thought I would enter them before giving them to him. I found the incomplete checklist with only a dozen cards entered.  So I just spent my morning entering the missing cards one at a time, most of them still TBA as I could only add 24 of the titles. I personally doubt if a checklist with all 170 cards described as we do exists that we could copy so I think TBA is the best way to go.  Members who have some of these cards can enter the titles if they wish.

As well, the previous entries all have the date and location of the race as part of the title even though this information is on the back of the card, e.g. https://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/175285/cid/11234674/1994-PMC-AYRTON-SENNA-31-Lotus-Renault-Turbo-97T---1985-Adelaide?PageIndex=1 . I believe this info, though nice for collectors to be able to see in the individual card subject line, belongs in the Note 2 field.  I have done so for Card #2 https://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/175285/cid/11822321?Editing=off&PageIndex=1 . I am sure others will provide their opinion on this.

I am not a Racing card collector and have spent the last 5 hours on this set. Yes there is more todo such as correcting the titles and filling the Note 2 field on the cards identified.  As well, all the cards I entered should be linked to Ayrton Senna though I think Admin may be able to do this faster than any of us.  I plan to PM him. I also would like card # 45 as the sample card seeing as the set is of the individual himself.

I have PM'd the original contributer about the checklist being entered incomplete. This Forum thread is not to point fingers at anyone but in the hope that members entering checklists in the future save others the time it took me to complete the work.

Would it be possible to have a section of the site where we could keep partial checklists that people could add to? Then when they are complete someone could add it to the database. That way maybe we could get more checklists completed. I know I have at least one set I’m sitting on because I can’ find the complete checklist. 

ive come across incomplete CL often, but its usually with people stopping at the base cards and not following through with the rookies or whatever follows thereafter. Submitting an IR to correct it.

But for something like this, i've only came across a couple , but they were in the multisport section, where the product is put out and the mfr doesn't follow through with a CL. I know this subject was brought up sometime ago along with the use of the "TBA" or "TBD" in the card #. 

Let's face it, if a CL hasn't been published, it can take a very long time to properly get it filled out. I had recommended before that maybe Admin can conditionally format the CL Name to a red color (or similar) or possibly placing an asterik * next to the set name to signify an incomplete set and required verification and/or completion. 

Either way, it can be difficult as some cards may not be located for quite sometime or even identified on the list.

The best way I can think of to accomplish this is, request the set to be created, once created start a forum post for that set inquiring for others collecting the set to provide input for the checklist. 

The set would then show up under Things To Do -> Missing Checklists and anyone going to the set page should see the forum thread.
