Absolutely nothing against the two individuals who added all of the "VAR" but all I can say is what a mess. No, not the work they did as both are very capable individuals but now this set, like the Topps stickers versions in all years with sticker backs, is a complete mess with the idea that a different removable back makes a VAR. I went through my collection recently and I can say that NOT ALL VAR in the Topps sets are listed as I have many where the back of the stickers I have are different than any of those listed. And no, I did not add the VAR as I do not believe that this is the right way to list these sets and I refuse to contribute to its growth. They are two sets; the stickers can be removed from the backs and inserted into an album. If the stickers have VAR of the backs why then doesn't the sticker back set have VAR listing all the possible stickers one might find on them? If one argument holds true for one set, then why not the other?
The for and against was divided on this issue. Unfortunately the For was louder, repeatedly louder, and got their way yet when it came time to build the lists, many of them contributed very little other than annoyingly demanding posts about "When is this going to be done". As I said, I can tell you that the Topps sets of stickers is far from complete with all the VAR of sticker backs for each sticker. No doubt, this will hold true for the OPC sets.
I had hoped that the OPC versions would stay clean but now I see that they won't. I already glimpsed at what it has done to my collection and I can see I now have to go through all my cards, Wants, and Traders to correct my lists. I know the site cannot please everyone. But this is one of the decisions that ranks in the top 5 decisions that is simply wrong and I wish it would be reversed. And one of the reasons I do less and less on this site. Sorry if I offend anyone but I've always been honest in my thoughts.
Edit: Having gone through my collections in this set,I see that the work done by the 2 dedicatedmembers of this site was to combine the listings of the stickers that are paired up. This caused my collection to show that I had two of each or wanted two of those I did not yet have. I have gone through and removed teh duplicates inmy own collection. But there is an infiltration of "VAR" for different sticker backs; that is my beef against how these sticker sets are listed. In that regard,my feelings remain as expressed.
