Need help finding a checklist for the following.   2018 Topps Archives Signature Series Postseason   

We dont have this in our database and need to find all the info as possible and I was online for a while chatting with someone on beckett.com until they told me to view the checklist I had to have an active membership.

Thanks in advance.

Beckett shows each player as a separate set, so they have like 77 different sets.  You couldn't easily get a checklist out of the way they have it listed.

In my experience when Beckett even deigns to have checklists for products like that they're often inaccurate anyway.

Yeah, I have been looking for over a year for a checklist with no luck.  I have a 1/1 Nolan Ryan and would like to get this set listed, any ideas or suggestions on best way to do it?

I would search general and completed listings on Ebay and then listings on COMC.  That's how I submitted the checklist for a 2020 Signature Series player checklist.  Once compiled, I would just note the work that you've done in the checklist submission.

You don't need a paying membership to view a checklist on Beckett. Paying for the OPG gives a few more options, but you can access what you need without it. With that said, they don't have a straight checklist posted for this set. The "checklist" consists of single cards for each player. You'd have to cobble it together from the individual listings. From there you'd need to validate the infom as suggested.

tidalwav90 is correct. The preferred way to handle these is to do as much research as possible and then submit a mostly complete checklist. Like the Rediscover Topps buybacks, Topps doesn't really release a comprehensive checklist for these sets. Using COMC, eBay (sold and currently listed), and Worthpoint.com (you don't need an account to view searches on Worthpoint), a good portion of cards can be discovered, but it would be silly to expect every card to be discovered before we listed the checklist, simply because there's just no way of knowing.

Once a good base checklist has been established, if another card is discovered down the road, it's a matter of adding one card. Adding one card is much easier than individually adding 20-25 cards down the road. 

So, do as much research as possible the sites mentioned above, as well as any others you might know of, compile as much of a checklist as you can, and submit it like any other set. 

Also, one needs to be careful with Beckett data. They don't just make tons of errors, but they often add fake cards to their lists to fight copyright infringement.

Wife bought us the entire online pkg, $500 Canadian with taxes. Gives me all the pricing data real time and pricing for graded cards as well theyearbook pricing stats as well, its helping me get through the Sacramento and the Pool Table hoard much better. Its a great tool to use in building my business plan.
