T206 Checklist

[Archive]

Posted By: James Walker, Jr.

I had to put this project on hold for about a year, but now it's almost ready.



Greetings,

I am currently in the process of creating a "population report" for the T206 set. My goal is to confirm the various front/back combinations and confirm the rarity of the various backs.

To accomplish this, I will need your assistance and any other collector of T206 cards you know.

To aid in the inventorying of the T206 cards, I have created a program called Vintage Card Tracker. Below is an introduction to the program.



The Introduction:

Here are the steps for entering your cards:

1) Select the "Set Designation". To start with I am working on the T206 set with plans of adding the T205 set next, then the T207 set. Would appreciate some input as to what other sets you would like added.

2) Choose the Player Name. This is how the name appears on the bottom front of the card. For the T205 set was thinking of using the name on the back of the card with the T207 set being similar to the T206 set where the name on the bottom front of the card would be used.

3) Next select the variation for the card, if one does not exist then this field will not show.

4) After filtering the various available "companies", choose the one that applies to the card being entered.

5) If the particular company was issued with Series information (as shown in the example above), then select the desired series. If Series information does not exist (i.e. Polar Bear backs) then this field will not be shown.

6) And the last step, press either the "up arrow" to increase the card quantity, or the "down arrow" to decrease the card quantity next to the appropriate "Factory Information".


Currently I have the following reports:

1) Inventory Report - Lists all cards that you have entered. Includes all fields necessary to enter the cards, including the quantity.

2) Basic Set Want List - Lists any card needed to complete the set regardless of back version.

3) Master Set Want List - Lists all cards needed to complete a "master" set. All card fronts with all card backs.

Are there any other reports you would like?



Your Help:

When you are entering cards, please let me know if there is a front/back combination that I have overlooked or that should not be listed. I can then distribute a "patch" to either add or delete that combination. One example is the Hindu back. I know that a card with a Hindu back is either brown or red, and never both. However, I am not sure which cards should have the brown back and which cards should have a red back.

What other features would you like to see?

And finally, please forward this email to anyone that you might think would be interested in this.



Thank for your time,
