After a handful of IRs about the difference in some of the Team Checklist cards, we finally have two checklists uploaded. One of the checklists is for those with one asterisk (star) in front of the copyright line (which was already existing), and the newest is for those with two asterisks (stars) in front of the copyright line. IRs are already in place to move the Two Star images to the correct location in the new checklist.

Big thanks to Dan (vrooomed) for his help and guidance - he's the only one I communicated with, but there had to be at least one or two other L8s who chipped in and helped with approvals. This wasn't a huge undertaking, but thanks to those who used their time to help. Also much appreciation to those who politely submitted IRs over time regarding this. It took a while to get around to, but I don't recall seeing or hearing anyone getting nasty about it.

While I personally don't agree with these types of variations, we have set a precedence on this site that they are to be documented here. That being said, in order to accurately document your collection, I encourage everyone with some of these listed in their collection to check and see which version they have so that collection info can be adjusted.

Most of my threads seem to fall off the front page pretty quickly, so I will bump this at least once later to make sure as many members as possible can see this. Thanks!

I have the Braves card with single asterisk and am wondering if I or anyone else would replace an image now,  while the IR's are in place but images have not been moved, would this cause a problem?

That will cause a problem. Don't replace any images. Wait until the images are cleared out. Thanks.

That is exactly what I suspected. 

All existing images are now in the correct location. Feel free to upload the remaining correct images if you have them. Thanks for your patience!

Bringing up an old topic, now that we have the VAR dropdown available, should these be combined into one checklist the way we did for the late-80s/early-90s Topps stuff?

Yes.

Is that going to affect the entries I already have in the 2 existing Checklists? 

No. It should be a simple merge of the checklists, scans and collection data.

Whoever wants this done, PLEASE enter an IR to have it done and whoever actually does the work, make sure you edit the cards within the sets FIRST before doing the merge.
