I use this site primarily to log my various Cleveland collections (Sandy Alomar, Victor Martinez, and Cleveland in general). I'm struggling now that the name has changed. Is there a reason some cards continue to get entered as Indians cards while others are Guardians? Like, I get why guys who played only pre-2022 would get entered as Indians, but why are current players still being entered as Indians? I didn't want to submit a ton of "wrong team" inaccuracies so came here first. Thanks for your help!

I believe it'll be whatever the team's name was when a set was released.

I was just looking at the 2022 Donruss change log, and it seems like people have edited it back and forth between the names. I feel like a 2022 set should be Guardians (especially since Donruss can't say the team name - only "Cleveland"). But maybe there was a reason for changing them back that I'm missing?

Some of those people are probably following their own rules for team names. I do agree that a 2022 set should be Guardians.
The same naming convention will need to be followed later this year for the Washington Football team formerly known as The REDSKINS.

Some of the players in the Donruss set are retired players who played with the team when they were the Indians. Any current players should be Guardians.
If the card specifies Indians, it should be Indians.

Yeah, the retired/former players still being labeled as Indians makes sense to me. But there are current players like Jose Ramirez and Shane Bieber who were changed to Guardians and then changed back, and those I don't understand.

I thought I had made all those corrections to Guardians. Looking at that log shows I did and then they were switched back. I have reached out to the person to see why he did that.

Yes, exactly. I don't want to see guys like Thome and Feller listed as Guardians merely because the card's from 2022. But current players should reflect Guardians. It unfortunately creates splits within the same set, but it's the most logical approach.

What's on the card determines the team usually. There are quidelines for that in the Permissions section. 2022 sets would usually be Guardians unless it says Indians on the front.
Personally, I would've liked them to go back to Spiders. Would make a killer logo!
