The "Legendary Lineage" cards in packs are listed in the OPG as "Past and Present," the "Cards Your Mother Threw Out" and the "Cards Your Mother Threw Out Original Backs" are listed as being Silk Collection, and they're not, and finally, the "Million Card GIveaway" cards aren't listed at all.<br />
I was also wondering why Beckett doesn't list unlicensed cards. While they may not be licensed, they're still cards, and still viable parts of many collectors' collections. It would be helpful for cataloging and record-keeping, even if a "N/A" was applied to their values. The Broder-type cards are difficult enough to keep track of, without a Beckett-listing to assist.<br />

I passed the 2010 Topps concerns to the analyst. <br />
Not listing unlicensed cards came about years (if not decades) ago. I believe the decision was made because of two things -- first, the cards being unlicensed (essentially illegal) meant that neither the players nor the leagues approved or were compensated for those cards ... and, second, because of the uncontrolled environment under which they were made there could be countless print jobs done for a single card or countless cards made making it impossible for them all to be accurately cataloged, tracked etc. (If one got "hot" anyone could just up and print thousands more...)<br />
