A lot of us collect different ways. As a set collector, I also like to add things like wrappers, boxes, and sell sheets to my sets. Does anyone else think adding checklists for these items would be useful?

For each set there is a section for Sell Sheets/Ads and for Packaging. Are you thinking of making those sections more like a checklist format that mirrors, in a way, how the sets are set up?

I'm not big on adding checklists for these items, however maybe an idea would be having a section on each set page for personal notes (like you can do when you have a signed card you got through the mail or however). In the note section you can add any extras from the set you may have- packs, sell sheets, empty boxes, whatever.

I'd say no to checklists. There are no official checklists for such items. You'd have to think about what to call them for the Name and Team fields. Then you'll get into a battle royale over VARs, ERRs, UERs, printing glitches.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I am with the "No Checklist" group but I do like the idea of a personal comments space for every set that a member can enter personal notes only viewable by himself or from his Collection page.

This was my exact thinking, I could not have said it better.
You have to think, why stop at boxes and wrappers? Why not add POP materials, how about gravity feed boxes or the display containers that they use in retail stores? But Walmarts packaging may be different from Target, Dollar Tree, Walgreens, etc. so we have to ensure we track those too. What if this one has a period after INC. and that one doesn't, we need to checklist both of them.
Then we are on to adding magazines, books, pricing guides, DVDs, newspaper stories, LCS materials, card show advertisements. I am being facetious, but this is the TCDB a database for cards. There is already a location within each set that you can post images for the packaging and sell sheets for posterity.

Back when I was a gum chewing lad, it was possible as there was like 2 ways to get cards
- Wax Packs
- Vending Boxes
The wrappers had adds on them and banners on front showing either what was inside as a bonus ( tattooes, coins, posters, series, ect. Now they are 12 or 9 count cards & even 8 count depending on how they are packed Then you have to look at UPC number as Walmart and Target have different UPCs a couple years ago.

Robert “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.” ― A. Bartlett Giamatti robertkimble.us/tradingcards

I am also a packaging collector- in fact, I have been saving every single empty pack and box since 1998 or 1999 (although very poorly organized). Not just an example...all of them.
It would be nice to be able to track what I have and add what I don't to my wantlist, but there's quite a variation in how packaging is formatted. For a pack, it'd be easy enough to scan both sides. But for a box? Some of them have 7 images required to fully document them. That doesn't easily fit into the "front and back" format we have going on here.
I am documenting them- you can see the ones I've scanned in the Peripheral section for each subject on the Cardboard History Gallery, link in signature. I still have a long way to go before I scan them all.
-------------------------------
VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
