Hi,

I'm new and this is my first Forum Posting. I have several Non-Sport Sweden sets to add. Below are two sets for example. I have questions on adding.

Category: Non-Sport
Year: 1978
Set Name: Filmisar Seriefigurer-Barnbilder (Series of Cartoon Characters-Child Pictures) (Sweden)
Type: Comics
Total Cards: 154
Longest side / diameter: 2-3/4 by 1-3/4 inch cards

Category: Non-Sport
Year: 1973-1976
Set Name: Filmisar Numrerade Disneybilder (Numbered Disney Pictures) (Sweden)
Type: Comics
Total Cards: 624
Longest side / diameter: 2-3/4 by 1-3/4 inch cards

1. Year: 1973-1976 Filmisar Numrerade Disneybilder was issued 1973 to 1976. Is adding 1973-1976 ok?

Checklist Card Name question:
151 Svarta Masken (The Lone Ranger)
Example Svarta Masken is listed in Swedish on card. 
2. Is it ok to list in parentheses the English name not listed on the card?

3. Some card numbers do not exist. They were not made.
Should card number not be listed in checklist?
or
Should the Card Number be listed on Checklist and Card Name listed, Does not Exist?

4. Two cards have same number and same front image but different text. Should both cards be listed in checklist?
451 Musse Knatte Fnatte 
451 Musse Teddy Freddy

5. Two cards have same number, but different front image and different text. Should both cards be listed in checklist?
498 Lilla Vargen
498 Nalle Puh

Thanks

1 - The site's Date field can only handle 7 characters, so "1973-76" would have to be used, and yes, that is fine for sets that truly span the years (not for estimating when a set came out).

2 - The translation would help if it can be provided, however, I know I've seen non-English language MTG/TCG sets that did not have the translation. Cards should still be linked to the proper character, no matter the language (or format) used.

3 - If the number doesn't exist, no need to include it in the checklist. (Might want to add text to the Release Notes indicating that certain numbers were skipped or if there are a lot of numbers skipped, just mention it's "skip-numbered set").

4 - Both versions should be listed, just as we do with any other variation.

Welcome!

1) We use "1973-76" for multi-year releases.

2) The Name field should be what appears on the card, then Note2 can be used for English translations. The person on the card should still be linked to any existing PID (profile ID).

3) If the card number doesn't exist, leave it off the checklist, then we can add a Release Note saying which number(s) don't exist.

4) Use 451a and 451b as the card numbers, add "VAR" to the Note1 field, then Note2 should explain the difference. (e.g. "VAR: Musse Knatte Fnatte"). After the checklist is done, submit an Inaccuracy Report requesting an L7 or L8 to move the "a" and "b" to the secondary card number box.

5) Same as above. If one card was supposed to be a different number in the set, it should be marked as an "ERR" in Note1, then Note2 should say "ERR: #xxx on back, should be #yyy", with the actual numbers replacing xxx and yyy.

UPDATE: Sorry, started my reply, jumped to a work issue, came back and Dan replied!

Could you provide front and back images of cards from these sets?

Thanks for the answers on how to properly add the sets / checklists. 

The scanning will take awhile. The Disney cards I plan to scan in. I collect The Lone Ranger cards so The Filmisar Seriefigurer-Barnbilder (Series of Cartoon Characters-Child Pictures) I only have the Lone Ranger cards which I plan on scanning in also. There is nothng on the back side of the cards for these series, it is blank.  

I read through the forums to always enter the entire set even though you only collect certain cards.  

On that last line. Thank you, much appreciated by many members here.
