I don't know if there would be a way to do this. One of the frustrating things with collecting sports cards from time to time is when players get traded but the card for them shows them in their old team and the only mention of the new team is some small note on the back of the card, or some hard to see traded stamp. Some collectors might call this a wrong uniform card. In the database the player is listed for the new team. Often when I am adding my cards I have a batch of cards from one team or so I thought so to save time adding the cards to my collection here I click the view team dropdown, instead of viewing the checklist by card number, and come across one of these slightly deceiving cards of the player in his old uniform (the team I am adding and remember him playing for) and can't find the card because he is listed under the new team. Viewing by full checklist by card number of course this problem doesn't occur.

A perfect examlpe of this is Jim Everett card 139. Shown and marked as still with Rams but listed in DB for Saints. Back of the card bio mentions the trade. A casual look at the card misses that info. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/3442/cid/877069/1994-SkyBox-Impact-139-Jim-Everett 

It would be nice if there was some kind of way to indicate when there is a difference from the uniform shown to the team the player is/was on for the card release. I think it fairly easy to note for the current team, but when it is needed for his old team it might be more difficult. Maybe if there was some way to have a "traded to" sub category that brings up traded players no matter which of the teams you are looking under.

I think this item in the New Feature Tracker is what you'd like to see implemented:

Dan,

That seems to be close, but I wouldn't want the uniform shown to be filtered out when using this feature.

Seems like a lot more maintenance. This would have to be used on draft picks in college uniforms too.
