When check listing a T card master set for which I don't have an existing checklist (and some do, there's false ones out there for a lot of things), I have a list of what I suspect exists out there from the patterns I've seen, but a card is only confirmed when someone else produces an image of it, or I can produce one. People's memories, what people think exists, what PSA and SGC put on a sticker label that is often incorrect, and what folks have said they have seen do not count. In this day and age, there is nothing easier than taking a picture to prove it.
The varied T206 master set checklists would be a lot more reliable if a similar standard was present, and the photographic evidence of each card compiled. It's not about doubting a person or a claim, but using the common sense evidence to prevent error.
