Except that those are the regular releases. The OP is about the PROMOS.

Maybe the photos of the uncut sheet in this auction will help you build the checklists:

The site has the Promo sets for the Yankees and the Red Sox. I may be missing some thing on E-bay. Will have to dig deeper.

Good point. The promos should be in the inserts/subsets sections for each respective team at the links above, but they're not indeed. I heard about the NYY promos and their withdrawn set, but it is a bit strange they printed promo cards for other teams' promo sets. They need to be added to the db indeed.

Not related to the promos, but all of those sets are advertised as 11 cards, not 12. The ad/header/whatever should be split off to a standalone under Inserts/Related and not included in base. ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *

I did find the listings on E-bay that should give me all the answers.. My first try missed them. Must have type in something wrong. I will put it on my things to do list and may get to it later. Thanks for the help

Were these all sold as complete sets? If they were distributed as sets with 11 cards and a header, then they are 12 card sets. The only time the headers should be broken out is if the product was distributed in multiple types of packaging where the same headers were not in every package.

These were like the BK sets of the time, where there were 3 player cards and the header card in each pack.
