The links above are results of searches for "Susan Rini" and "Historic Limited Editions".  All of these card sets are issued by the same company but we now have different names for different sets.  I created and loaded the checklists for the Historic Limited Edition Nolan Ryan sets but as I was seeing what sets I could add checklists for, I found some sets created under Susan Rini.  I used Historic Limited Editions because that is what they were listed under in a guide I have though I believe I have also seen them listed under Susan Rini.  The sets are issued by Historic Limited Editions; Susan Rini is the artist for the cards.

I believe that all of these sets should bear the same title and I also believe the policy here on TCDB is that is should be the company that issues the cards.  I will wait to see members opinions before submitting more IR (I did one for the Negro Leagues set that I uploaded the checklist for).

Many sets have the artist or photographer credits printed on the cards. But sets should be listed by issuer not the artist or photographer credits.

If they're listed both ways depending on guide used, can we include both (i.e. 'Historical Limited Editions -
Susan Rini')?  I'm just thinking of a new member searching for these and this would make it easiest for them to find, regardless of how they're catalogued elsewhere and which way they're used to.

And what happens with sets that have multiple artists' artwork used?  IMO, we don't use art or photo credits in set names. With the exception, of course, when the artist or photographer actually issues the cards.  Or the intent/subject of the set is a collection of a specific artist's work.

I don't think sets with multiple artists have ever been documented by the artists name in guides or commonly referred to by collectors by the artists name.  Should all of the 1977 Sports Deck Landsman sets be renamed here to remove reference to Landsman?
