OT -- Information about Bra-Mac Photo Cards...

There is no logic involved in what TCDB will allow to be posted.

I was denied adding m114s even though they have some m114s listed as Baseball Magazine photos. They gave me the same "they are not cards" excuse, and when I pointed out that they already had m114s listed (and had allowed me to scans to their listings), and have other similar "not cards" listed, they told me those listing were a mistake.

I deleted my account.

I appreciate the concept of what they claim to be trying to do, but since my collection does not fit within their definition of "cards" besides their as yet uncorrected "mistake" listing, they have no interest in any knowledge I may possess.

I hope I don't get sued by the Trading Card Data Bruce(s).

I would have thought having an ACC number might sway them. I haven't really used their site but others have said good stuff about it.

Fred- That is a neat black and white Bra-Mac. Those kinds of things don't surprise me anymore as they are usually only printing errors. We have all seen them over the years. Then too, sometimes a black and white set can be it's own, ie: E97 black and whites (not proofs)
