Card Identification Forum

I have 6 Ed Reed printing plates that i cant find listed any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

I know little about FB printing plates. What I see in forum discussions, is determining what product they were released in and a complete CL of them. Commenting here mainly to give this a bump for you to hopefully get you some better information.

The bottom scan looks to be of this card:

Probably cyan.

The middle left scan looks to be one of these can't quite tell which:

Please keep in mind that Panini has a bad habit of not producing correct checklists and that some of these are in other Panini products. Also the checklists for the majority of these more than likely have not been uploaded to the site.

This is my problem i looked all over the site and cant seem to get them located.  I have over 400 Ed Reed Cards in my database alone and wish i could get these in there

I can find the cards no problem however the printing plates are not listed for said cards unfortunately 

And we want them in here. As mentioned above, the problem is tracking them down. They were most likely released in different products in different years and Panini provides no help whatsoever. Once it can be tracked down to what release these plates were actually issued in then we absolutely want them added here. Just takes more research than normal to get answers.

These plates are generally issued in Panini products like National Treasures and Plates & Patches. My recommendation to get started is go to to COMC and search (including Sold Out cards in the filter) the set the card made from the plate is from such as "2020 Panini Legacy" plus the word "plate". If any have existed on COMC, it'll autofill some suggestions that are probably what you're looking for, so you might see something like "2020 Panini Plates & Patches - 2020 Panini Legacy Printing Plates Yellow".

That lets you confirm where the checklists should be (in the above example it would be 2020 Plates & Patches). Then your next step is to do your due dilligence to try to find out which plates were inserted. Was it just cards 1-100 but none of the rookies? The whole set? The entire insert?

Once you have that info you can enter missing set inaccuracy reports under the products (like Plates & Patches), include the info, and have someone add them for you.

I hope that helps!

One word of caution: COMC isn't always accurate with their listings. Make sure the back image matches how they list it.
