1990 Pro Set Football Forum

For those that don't know this set has 2 different cards labelled as #800: One is an offensive rookie of the year and the other is the defensive rookie of the year. On the overview page the base set is listed as 801 cards which I assume is to account for the two #800s. However, adding both of the 800s to your set does not increase your total number of cards. What I mean is, it only counts one of them against your total number. I assume this is because they are both listed as 800 in the checklist. I've tested this out: I have 796 cards in this set, according to the site I have 795. If I remove one of the 800s from my set I still have 795. I think this should be fixed but a) I have no idea how to do it and b) not sure what the best method is.

My thoughts for fixing it are either changing the total number of cards in the set to 800 or changing the checklist so that the two cards are distinguishable e.g. 800O, 800D or maybe 800-1, 800-2?

Any thoughts or advice on how to fix this?

On other sets they differentiate variations, I wonder why not this?  My guess is the age of the set and when it was first updated on this site.

If you look at the card number area it says, "Special Collectible 800 Offense" and "Special Collectible 800 Defense".   To me those are two separate cards not VARs.  I could see changing the card numbers to "800 Offense" and "800 Defense"; the "Offense" and "Defense" being suffixes.

Good call, Chuck! I have updated the cards to no longer be VARs (they weren't like that this morning when I looked) and have updated the numbers to be unique with "800 Defense" and "800 Offense" (sounds like toll-free numbers - lol). This should get people to 801 now.
