I have a few Howie Long cards that are not listed in Beckett.

First the 1989 Franchise Game #229 Howie Long card (top left) IS listed, but the 1987 Franchise Game version (top right) is NOT listed.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT CARDS WITHOUT PICTURES OF THE PLAYER ARE TYPICALLY OPG OMITTED. THIS IS WHY THE OLDER STRAT-O-MATIC BASEBALL STAT CARDS AND NEARLY ALL REDEMPTION CARDS ARE NOT LISTED EITHER. THE ONLY EXCEPTION THAT I CAN THINK OF ARE THE 1997 ACTION PACKED EXTRA POINTS CARDS AND TRUTHFULLY I WISH BECKETT WOULD REMOVE THOSE FROM THE OPG IN THE INTEREST OF CONSISTENCY.

Next 1989 Topps "Scoreboard" autograph is NOT listed...

ONE COMPANY HAVING A CARD FROM COMPETITOR COMPANY AUTOGRAPHED AND THEN HAVING IT PRESUMABLY INSERTED IN THEIR OWN PACKS - NOW THAT IS WILD! I NEVER KNEW SCOREBOARD/PRO LINE/CLASSIC EVER DID THAT AND I COULD NOT IMAGINE TOPPS GRANTING PERMISSION.

I WONDER AS A RESULT IF THAT ITEM COULD BE A FAKE, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A "DOWNER". I THINK CREATIVEMONKEY COMMENTED A WHILE BACK THAT AFTER THE COMPANY WENT BANKRUPT A LARGE NUMBER OF UNAUTOGRAPHED SCOREBOARD/PRO LINE/CLASSIC CARDS WERE SHIPPED TO ASIA SOMEWHERE AND FORGED AND THEN SOLD ONLINE. APPARENTLY THEY ALSO ATTAINED THE STAMP AS WELL.

I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH.

and the 1988 and 1989 Starting lineup INDIVIDUAL cards are listed in Becket but the 1989 SLU One-On-One * #9 John Elway/Howie Long
card is NOT listed.

THE CARDS IN THE SINGLE PACKAGES ARE ALL SEEMINGLY OPG LISTED BUT NOT THE CARDS IN THE DUAL PACKAGES WHICH IS ODD. IF SOME ARE GOING TO BE LISTED THAN ALL SHOULD BE. I NOTICED THIS OMISSION TOO WHEN I LOOKED UP MY OWN SLU HAM/LAMBERT PIECE.

THE WHITE ROSE COLLECTIBLE CARDS IN THE PACKAGES SHOULD ALSO BE LISTED SEPARATELY, I BELIEVE, IF THE CARDS ARE UNIQUE VARIATIONS AS IN THIS CASE. THERE ARE PERHAPS OTHER GOOD EXAMPLES.

Nittany is correct.

CONTACT DAN HITT....

I have done it. And got cards added. Posting in this tread only suits the purpose to letting others know. I do not think Beckett reads the threads.

I BELIEVE THAT AT LEAST ONE BECKETT STAFF MEMBER HAS INDEED LOOKED THROUGH THIS THREAD BEFORE MY SUGGESTIONS WERE ADDED. I BASICALLY PROVIDED THE LINK AND THE NUMBERS OF MY POSTS.

I WOULD THINK THAT THE CHANCES OF YOUR RECOMMENDED ITEMS BEING ADDED WOULD INCREASE IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION IS SUPPLIED ABOUT THE CARD/CARDS/SET IN QUESTION. THIS IS WHY I SCAN BOTH THE FRONT AND BACKS OF THE CARDS, THAT IS IF I AM IN POSSESSION OF THE CARDS IN QUESTION OF COURSE, OR CUT AND PASTE THE PICTURE OF THE CARD I SAW ONLINE. AT THE VERY LEAST STATE IF THE CARD IS NUMBERED, HAS A PRINT RUN, ETC...

Sorry, I forgot to turn off the caps lock.
