Hi all! Did anyone else "lose" cards in their collection? I like to keep track of where I'm at at the end of each day; last night, when I went to bed, I had 18,303 cards in my collection and when I got up this morning, it was at 18,299. Did any cards get deleted from the site? And if so, is it possible to know which ones?

I have my cards in multiple collections, with each box being a collection.  A number is on the title, so if the total cards changes, i know which collection to check to see what changed.

I lost some cards from a list recently. From what I ended up seeing, some were evidently from sets that were previously present, deleted, and reposted, likely because they were under the wrong name, or classified incorrect as inserts or something like that. Sadly I do not remember the sets in specific, but the handful of cards that I lost were baseball ones from the early to mid 2000's. For example, I know this Jason Simontacchi card -

- was one of the cards that I lost and eventually re-added to the list. The card's image was wiped, and the player's name was gone from the card description in the list, but the card number and set name remained. I believe this set was re-classified as an insert, hence the issue. Either way, I'm not sure who did this, but it seems like it was fairly disruptive. Not sure the full extent of cards lost, but I know I lost cards of a handful of players. Most seemed to be from rookie insert sets, and 4 of the 6 were from 2002 sets. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but this might be your issue, and hopefully someone knows more about what exact changes were made to help you rectify them.

This can happen because of a couple reasons:

1 - The card was removed because it was listed in another set already (duplicate)
2 - The card (item) was listed here and was not an item listable on TCDB

A card that is "moved" is moved with it's collection info (regardless of our method of moving a card). 

Would that potentially cause the issue that I had experienced with the list? Curious to see if this is indeed what happened with the cards in question - It would be worth knowing going forward that such a move causes cards in a list to not display properly.

With newer stuff, sometimes a checklist gets posted with incorrect numbering and gets taken down. This happens with Panini sets sometimes as the numbering on their official checklists isn't the numbering on the cards themselves. (i.e. advertised as card #4, but its really numbered #TT-DM). I learned this the hard way submitting a Panini checklist before. Panini is just the worst...
