Card Identification Forum

Choice Marketing made two team sets for the 2019 Hickory Crawdads (shockingly called "Team Set 1" and "Team Set 2"). The Database already has the first set listed, though it is not identified as "Team Set 1."

I'm about to put together the checklist for "Team Set 2."  This is the first time I have put together a checklist like this, so I want to make sure I name it correctly. Should I enter it as "2019 Choice Hickory Crawdads Team Set 2," or is there a different way that is preferred for the Database?

Thanks for your help!

If they actually called it that, it should be the name here. They should be more creative, but we are here to document, so we're stuck with it

Is that's how it's printed on the cards,"Team Set 2"?  Or is set 2 an Update?  I only found two images on ebay and "Set 2" has 2018 stats; "Set 1" has 2017 stats.

It doesn't say on the cards. The Hickory Crawdads itself has them labeled as Team Set 1 and Team Set 2.

I believe it should be titled Team Set Update then. Release Notes should reflect the stat dates for each set though. My guess would be the "Team Set 1" were cards made to be available at the beginning of the 2019 season and therefore produced before the 2018 season ended. The "Team Set 2" cards were probably only available at games mid-season or later with updated stats for the previous season (2018).

After a quick check after typing the above lines: From the team's website, they clearly list them as Team Set #1 and #2, but only the 2nd one has a cover card. The sets have no marker besides the stats to differentiate. They were ONLY available as team sets, so it might be good to have them listed seperately. But at the same time, they could be listed as one set with all the "Team Set 2" cards having an UPD note for them. As MiLB cards, I'm assuming all cards are NNO and with no CL card (unless the S2 cover card has one on the back). In that case, I'd have them all listed in one set with appropriate notes. Might need a little bit more info to correctly determine how they should be listed here!

I entered it as "2019 Choice Hickory Crawdads Team Set #2" and uploaded all scans (my pack was a card short, but the team is sending me a new set to fix it). However, I noticed that someone went in and changed it. I hesitate to call it an "Update," since the team idetifies it as "Team Set #2." I agree with all of the logic above, but I the more I think about it, the more I think it should be listed as what the manufacturer (or in this case, the team that sells from the manufacturer) calls it.

The cover card does include a checklist on the reverse. As I mentioned, everything is uploaded minus the one card I do not have, but that should be fixed in the next few days.

All the other sets in the database that are produced by Choice that have a 2nd set in the same year are listed as an "Update".  And as seen by the updated stats on the back of the cards, "Update" would be appropriate and consistent.

Just because the team calls it something on their web site doesn't mean that's the correct terminology in the hobby. I have seen them called "Team Trading Card Set" on some sites, but that's not how they get named here.

Update is correct in this case.
