2004 Topps Traded & Rookies Ckecklist #2

Your card is here. In 2004 Topps tried something unique and made a puzzle out of all the cards from the base set and inserted what you see into Traded packs. looks like a large printing sheet cut up. I've been trying to collect this set so I knew where to look. In this case It's from the Blue run as seen on the back. Looking at the bottom it tells you it's #42. There are no players linked yet (no image so no one knew who to link) which is why you didn't see it in Robinson's listing. All of those players can be linked so I'll try to add them all right now.

It looks like the 10-card insert checklist set hasn't been created.

Since these are checklist cards I believe the Name fields should be "Checklist # of 10" not "Puzzle Piece..."

Well, I didn't create the checklist :). I think it was entered that way because there will be a lot of "x of 10" running through the entire 110 card checklist. I have a bunch of the red's and that what happens "10 of 10" and next one is "1 of 10".

Then we can add what the checklist contains; e.g., "Checklist 2 of 10; Card #T20-T40"

And just a reminder to our newer member (the OP) - we would never have linked ONLY Robinson on this card. In the future, please look at the bigger picture and see why the checklist is the way it is. In this case, it looks loike it's causing a bit of an overhaul to what was there, so it worked out okay, but if someone else who didn't know better was the first to this, they might of added the Robinson link and walked away, which doesn't help other player collectors. So, please, think of the entire hobby community, not just your collection. Thanks.

Dan, thoughts on what Chuck proposed as far as renaming the cards on the checklist? 

Edit: Though as I say that, it might end up as a WIP as we don't have scans for all cards so confirming the backs....

I see, I only have and look at the Frank Robinson list. As I don't collect any other player anymore.
