01 / FRONT AND BACK
Give the details on both sides a job to do.
The front helps with the player or subject, design, and parallel. The back often supplies the card number, set information, manufacturer, and year clues. Serial numbering and variation details help distinguish cards that look alike.
Clear, uncropped photos of both sides give the identification workflow stronger evidence. Catalog and image coverage vary by card.
- Year, set, card number, and player or subject
- Parallel, autograph, and serial-run details
- Camera images and scanner batches
