Next CardTarget set.... your choice... Go.

[CardTarget]

Taking a break from working on the Bowman sets to get a few more vintage sets in there. First two people to post their set of choice on this thread will have their sets up soon!

Oh, and in case you didn't notice we put 1950 bowman up last week. 1951 coming soon.

My question would be, how should we list them? Standard Catalog and most other sites have them all listed as separate sets. That seems difficult when all of the fronts are the same.

Could we list them all as one set and use the back as a variation? Or is there some reason that wouldn't work?

[CardTarget]

Here's the combined checklist. Which would seem to work. We could find a numbering system that makes sense and keeps them in this general order. Or would people prefer them to be listed as different sets?

Would like to see the 1966 Topps set listed; thanks,

Well, that was easy. 1966 still has a lot of auctions to classify (20,000+) but there is enough data there to be useful, so I've listed the set. We've got guys working hard on that 20,000 but if anyone wants to help with those please let us know.

I do have some in my collection, but I am no expert at all about these. I really enjoy the cards but haven't delved too deep into the set. From my limited knowledge I don't see why you couldn't list them as two sets (4 and 5) for numbering purposes with back variations. An expert on the set may be able to chime with the best way to list them.

I believe using the combined checklist with a numbering system would work fine, and then list each of the back advertisers as a variation, much as you do with T206. It might be easier for collectors if you listed two sets, m101-4 and m101-5, and then listed each applicable back as a variant of the appropriate set. It can get a little dicey I suppose, as there are some backs that are in both sets but have only limited representation in one. For example, Block& Kuhl card numbers 1-20 are all m101-5 cards but the remaining numbers 21-200 are all m101-4. Either way, it would be a welcome addition from my perspective.

P.S. Thanks Andy for being quick on the trigger in nominating these.
