2023 Topps Baseball Forum

Is this checklist staying?

The initial upload that was taken down yesterday had SP, VARs in it. We also know Topps like inserting unannounced VARs into the packs. But my understanding is yes, there are some "VARs" that run the full checklist and I do believe we are entering them as parallels instead.

Whoever is working on these:

-- Please remove all "RC" notation from all the 1988 Chrome promo sets. "RC" notation doesn't belong on parallels (unless they’re Retail), most inserts or promos.

-- All the League Leader cards are missing the league/category in the Name, and the left-to-right orders for Name and Team are wrong. Please see the first one, "NL AVG Leaders", for the correct format. All the parallels will also need to be fixed.

-- The ten checklist cards have Note2 info that is missing from all the parallels and needs to be added.

-- "ASR" notation is missing from all the parallels and needs to be added.

-- If you're updating Release Notes on any inserts, please try to add insert odds and production codes if possible, like we did for 2022.

Major release checklist uploads should be locked out except for L8's ...we go thru this problem EVERY time, every year.

A L8 was the one who uploaded the checklist...

then maybe Admin might want to maybe set up something like a dual approval system for major checklist release,this way there can be more than 1 set of eyes on a checklist to catch problems prior to releasing it...

BigEd76,

So do cards like #240 have the Mets listed twice (though obviously only need 1 link).  And should #82 be Houston Astros / Houston Astros / Toronto Blue Jays?

Thanks!

Teams only need be listed once per card.

I have created what I think is the correct checklist for the parallels (based off the current base set).  I used this checklist to update the parallel Base Golden Mirror Image Variation SSP.  If someone will confirm that I have updated that parallel correctly, then I can fairly easily update the other parallels (hopefully).

I have updated the names, note, and note2 for all of the parallels.  The only items that still need completed are the links, on both the Team Cards (TC) and the checklist cards (CC, CL).  The links on the league leaders (LL) should have remained, but those could be double checked as well.
