So, I see we are missing cards 442-450 for this set...

...I was also surprised why that page in my son's album for that set is entirely empty as well. Now I found out that those cards weren't included in the set because of licensing issues.

In such case, do we even list those cards, seeing how they are only "theoretically" included, and they cannot be found in any pack in any box for that release. Or is there some other way to acquire those cards which is why we have them in this set? What is the way we handle such cases?

I do remember similar issue for Star Trek portraits where Scott Bakula's card number wasn't in packs because of licensing issues as well, but don't know which set that was to check if we have it listed or something :(

If we keep them listed, and if those card do exist somewhere (and were not just planned to be printed), we should at least put a comment that these are not in the packs.

I can't say if they actually exist or not but it's odd that they feature players of New Zealand who wasn't even in the World Cup. Makes me think they are for a localized version for NZ. Cards from 496 on are listed as inserts as they are only in the Nordic edition, maybe the same should be done with those.

Haven't seen them listed anywhere and seems doubtful the licencing issue was resolved. Therefore, I don't think they should be included in the checklist until someone can prove they exist.

If the cards do not exist, we do not list them on our checklists.
