Site Forum

Hi all, I love the site and I've started uploading some scans.  I've come across a couple of questions I could not find answers to in the FAQ or elsewhere.

1. Can I tell why a scan I uploaded was not added?  I uploaded say 50 scans, and 45 were added but my queue is now empty.  I assume the other 5 were rejected for some reason, and I'd like to know why so I can re-scan the cards.

2. Are non-pack issued printing plates allowed with other legitimate sets?  I've seen a few but it seems at odds with the other standards of the site... they're essentially relics of the card making process.  Should proofs and uncut sheets be allowed too?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Welcome.

1 - I'm not sure what happened with the other 5 images, did you check your own queue recently?

2 - If the company didn't put printing plates in the product (or in a product), generally, the answer is no. Since the site is crowd-sourced, some member don't read (or ignore) the rules and upload and add whatever. As these items are noticed by the conscientious, they are removed. Full set uncut sheets are not allowed. Small promotional sheets - marked as such - are allowed. A block of 2 to 9 cards from a sheet without special promo markings - no. Proofs again, sometimes sneak in, and they are up to Admin's discretion whether they stay or not.

Enjoy your stay!

Awesome, thank you sir.  I will report non-pack issued printing plates when I see them. 

Yes, my queue is empty.  An example of one I submitted scans for is 1988 Football Heroes stickers Marcus Allen:

PM Admin, or re-submit. Not sure what happened there.

Welcome. I believe uncut sheets are allowed in the packaging section, under the "sets" heading. 

Welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy all it has to offer. As you did here, it never hurts to ask. =)
