All the CC of that year except the #245 regular and jumbo was diamond shape.

You are right. I stand corrected on that point. The only difference is the card number.

[jjt111]

We have all cards listed of course as they should be. But really they are not numbered to 1000 but they came in a set numbered to 1000, like the one I just scanned. I'm not saying the set should be entered as an addition. But somehow I think the scan should be added as I'm sure some collectors keep them in their original bag. Plus they know what they are looking at if they see it.

Those used to be listed as a set and I would have no problem moving them back to being listed as set, with it including pictures of each card and the above picture.

What is the link to eBay for the error card?

I think it would be hard to draw the line between a certain type of error cards. How would we differentiate between an "error" card and a "variation" card?

Jonas, there are several error cards that only you or Akar has and have never been seen again. I had a few that I was the only one here who had, the 1998 Crown Royale Home Run Fever No Coating for example.

Personally, I would keep error and variation cards on the main list.

I would too, but I agree with Rob that miscut cards are not true errors -- just cards in poor condition.

If an Oddball/Miscellaneous section is possible, we are still going to need some rules about what should be listed. I think this is partly what Rob is saying in his "things!" post in Chit Chat. If we don't limit additions to commercially produced collectibles and advertisements, we'll end up listing things like a tee shirt that some Puerto Rican kid wrote the #19 on in magic marker.

I also think that, like with the error cards, there will be controversy about whether some of the things currently on the main list should be moved to Oddball/Miscellaneous. For what it's worth, here is what I think should be done with some of the various items:

Errors and variations: Main List
Other players' cards with a Juan cameo: Oddball
ABPA, Strat-O-Matic, cards with no picture: Oddball
Press plates inserted into packs/cases: Main List
Press plates not inserted into packs/cases: Oddball
Stickers like Red Foley and Panini: Main List
Pins, magnets, posters: Oddball
Signed 1975 Pinto Wagons: Main List
Display items like the '99 Stadium Club Photograph, '01 Fleer Legacy Autographed Cap, and '02 Absolute Game Used Bonus: Oddball

The last group was the toughest decision for me. Since none of them are cards, I put them under Oddball; but since major card manufacturers made them available from packs, boxes, and/or redemption cards, I could see them belonging on the Main List too.

I only have two cards that Juan appears in the picture of someone elses card.

But card errors is a section that might be of interest if it is a one and done not like the blank face cards that they made several of. But like the error card that is on ebay now. I doubt there is another the same way. As well as that Footlocker card of old that there has never been another exposed.

the so called error card that is on ebay now is nothing of the sort. that card goes into the cat,of miss cuts,and over lap print cards.i opened a box of 90 fleer one time and all the cards in the box were cut sideways. i tossed them in the trash can!!!!!!!! this card is nothing more. not even in the same cat as a plank front-plank-back,wrong-front,wrong-back these are true errors. also if a card did not come out of a pack or a box or as a redemption it does not belong on this list at all. i.e the pins the book marks and such. come on the apba things dont even have his photo on it! its not a baseball card!!! its called baseball card collecting!

Well, we will soon have an oddball section on the list and I expect many of the things like APBA will be moved over there. It will make it easier for one to archive 100% for a particular year.
