Press Plates

[freddie]

I notcied that we only have one listing for each year of the Topps Gallery Press Plates. It appears that Kevin has the 02 Cyan plate and Jonas has a different color. I believe we should break these plates down and list them by color.

I don't know how Jonas marked that he had one. Must need to make his mouse pointer smaller. Either way they should be listed seperate as Cyan, Magenta, Black and Yellow.

Just to update my 97 new pinnacle press plates #68 FRONT is Black...#68 Back is magenta and the keeping the pace FRONT is Cyan...

Kevin, you bring up another point. Some of the press plates come in front/back versions while others are just the front. We need to distinguish them even further in this regard.

Keven I expanded all of the pinnacle press plates so you'll need to adjust your totals and move the pictures around appropriately.

Are the pinnacle plates backdoor plates? I think we should consider moving all backdoor plates to the oddball list and keep only officially issued plates on the main list.

Freddie,All my press plates were inserted into packs...while I pulled none of them,I'm sure they were inserts...

So, all card editors, put it on your agenda to separate out the press plates that weren't released as a set, such as the one that Mike has.

How about our XXX/100 backdoor cards then. Or my avator card, unreleased or so called proto/sample 1998 Select numbers. I don't feel we will be flooded with press plate cards and because of that and some other nice back door stuff I lean to have them on the main list. If they didn't go for so much I would also have em. But I don't.

[freddie]

I assume that almost every card has 8 or more press plates that were employed in the manufacturer of that card. They seem very much a different category that something that was intentionally produced, such as XXX/XXX, sample, unreleased cards. Those items should be on the main list, as they are now.

I think there will be more people listing their collections in full, if they believe that there is a posibility of reach the 100% of a particular year, but if every now & then a card that is not part of the regular production is added to the list the percentage goes down instead of increase making almost impossible to reach the 100%. In my opinion every backdoor card, proof card, error card etc should go on the "odd"ball" list. What are the odds of find an error card that is not part of the regular production, one in a million? I have like 10 different backdoor press plates that are not listed, i don't care if they are listed or not, nor the procedence of them. Let's make possible to reach the top on the main list, and list everything else on the oddball list. No offense!
