1990 Topps Stickers Baseball Forum

No offense to any contibutors intended, but this checklist could use a lot of TLC.  What is the proper way to designate these?

• Stickercard # / Back sticker #1 (/ Back sticker #2)
• Sticker #1 (/ Sticker #2) / Stickercard #

Some of the stickers are double size, so there's only one sticker # per stickercard, others there are two stickers per stickercard, hence the parenthesis.  I'm a fan of the first way, then it would be 1-44 (IIRC?) with variations of stickers on the back.  Otherwise the checklist will skip around with some sticker #s possible in the first position L-R and others not.  I can advise on all the possible Barry Larkin variations, but don't know enough of the rest of the set to tackle the overall cleanup that's needed.

I just submitted an IR for this duplicate, but there are many more issues with the checklist:

Patience.

I'm getting there.

Take a look at my list: https://www.tradingcarddb.com/List.cfm/lid/5958/Sets-that-need-work

It's a conundrum for sure, but it would be nice if the 1988, 1989 and 1990  Topps Stickers AND OPC Stickers (which are identical but have some different combinations of stickers and backs) were all treated the same way!

ETA:  I'd say listing the variations in the main checklist (like the 1988 Topps Stickers list) is way too confusing. I have combinations that aren't listed. I don't think anybody really knows how many there are!

There's been about a million threads on these stickers. OK, that might be an exaggeration, but there have been more threads about these three sets than any other in Database history.

And I am personally, in the middle of doing exactly that. I actually have a helper taking on the OPCs, so we should be good for now. But please be patient. As the weather here starts to turn, I'll have more indoor time. I think I was outdoors more this past spring/summer than I had the past 10 years combined. And that's NOT an exaggeration.

Anyway, we're getting there. The numbers will always be lowest first and however the sticker comes out of the pack is what the database will reflect. Admin and I have discussed that. Admin and I are still trying to figure out the BEST way to handle the 88-90 sets (with those crazy back combos). We need to be able to sastify 2 types of collectors - the ones who want 1 of each to creat a set and the ones who want to collect every possible combination. We will get it so that it can accomodate both. We're looking out for everyone.

How will you accomodate collectors who have singles/separated stickers?

Chuck, you mean an incomplete card?

Billy       if you count the threads for the Football sticker sets.   It has been talked about a lot.

Vrooomed    Most of us know you have been working on it with Admin.   As people try to add more of them the more it will be brought. up.  We can not say enough about all the hard work you are doing on this problem and others.

hahahaha

Once you guys wrap up these sets, can you help me get these 4 cards added to the database?
