Sticker Collector or not, I'm not sure you are aware of a massive change about a month ago. Sticker Back Cards were always considered a separate set of cards, meeting all criteria. If the sticker was removed you would then have a different card [Sticker Back now front] with a blank [no sticker] back. About a month ago ADMIN [I guess] was persauded by members and decided that would no longer be the case and all Sticker Backs Sets were removed from the site listings. Baseball Sticker Back sets were the hardest hit with most sets removed. The 1986 Fleer Stickers with the Famous Feats back, long used as a model validated set by this site...now it's gone. Note: Puzzle Backs were never included as separate sets. 

As a sticker collector, I'm continually updating the sticker sets, Baseball is just about done, Basketball and Football stickers are being updated as I write, Hockey, Non-Sports etc haven't even been looked at. As I update I'm finding more Sticker Back sets in Football and Basketball. Lots of IRs ahead.....OR should we go back and reconsider what was done to Baseball sets?...maybe we should add them back? These Sticker Back Cards/Sets meet all the criteria for being listed on TCDb as a card. Size, Stock, Related, Maker and so on.

Time to voice your opinion, should be interesting.

I just checked my 88-90 Topps sticker backs and they're still there. Are you sure they were removed?

The reason the Topps backs remain, as explained by Admin to me, are as follows:

• They come from a base product
• There was a sticker album
• The expectation for collectors was to remove the front and place them into an album
• From 1988-90, instead of something that would be easily discarded, Topps purposefully made collectables of the backs

This means that the stickers that were inserts in another product (such as the Fleer ones) are not eligible for "back set" inclusion.

Again, this is directly from Admin, and fairly recent. There's really no reason for any further discussion on the topic.

Hey bro....remember ---this is a forum---- all discussion is warranted 

• They come from a base product-----FLEER IS A BASE PRODUCT
• There was a sticker album------FLEER HAS STICKER ALBUMS
• The expectation for collectors was to remove the front and place them into an album FLEER WAS REMOVED AND PLACED ON NOTEBOOKS AND ALBUMS
• From 1988-90, instead of something that would be easily discarded, Topps purposefully made collectables of the backs FLEER BACKS WERE USED FOR SCHEDULES, CARTOON SETS, STATS, LOGO COLLECTIONS, PUZZLES AND MORE, NOT DISCARDED

You asked for opinions.

My opinion is Admin has spoken about this and further discussion is not needed on this topic. SO this is my contribution to this discussion. Why are you trying to stop me from participating?

Wrong. Fleer stickers are an insert to the baseball card product.

There are no albums for these stickers.

Please stop posting misinformation and needing others to step in to correct you. And stop posting things that go directly against Admin's decisions and policies.

And anymore about this, it will be considered trolling. And you know what happnes then.

SO no one else is allowed to paticipate on this either as you stated "  Why are you trying to stop me from participating?" Any new members see this and they are going to be scared from posting, Or scared to even come on the site. I don't hae a dog in the fight on this topic other then to me if it is a insert to a base produst than ity should be incuded on here. But I dont want to be accused of trolling

some people need to chill
