Keep checklist families separate
01
Four useful checklist families
The main album measures required completion. Extra stickers add separately inserted designs, promotional items depend on a partner or market, and update products document later changes.
Main album
Extra and colour variants
Promotional items
Update products
02
Minimum identity fields
Record the product title, market, player, team, printed code, variant, front and back images, and verification source. This prevents visually similar items from collapsing into one record.
03
Value and trade implications
Scarcity claims should follow published insertion information or repeatable market evidence. A metallic finish is a descriptive feature, not proof of rarity by itself.

Is every colour variant a separate collectible?
