Just was looking around at some previews of 2024 Bowman Draft and ran into a breakdown on it from Cardboard Connection. I've been using Beckett for my checklists, inserts, etc.....since CC went down a year ago so if they've been back, I didn't know it.

I always preferred them to Beckett.

Considering they didn't bother to post the actual checklist on the page and instead tried to post 5 links to checklists, each of which 404 when you click on them, I'm going to say no, they are not back

I've been using Cardsmith Breaks for checklists. They seem to be better about listing the parallels than Beckett, which is the most important thing for me.

There's no drop down to look at 2024/2025 card releases for checklists, inserts, etc...Latest is 2023.

I have been using baseballcardpedia.com to look up checklists, insert odds, etc. Not too familiar with TCC so I have to ask - what does that offer that doesn't already exist?

I would be thrilled if TCDB came back. My #1 overall suggestion as a former heavy user of the site- get back to the prior format. Choosing a set at random, the format such as 2023 Bowman (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2023-bowman-baseball-cards) was perfect. List out all the different sets/inserts and the parallels for each, then the checklist with parallels and teams listed. 10/10, no notes

Contrast that with anything put out in the last year, again choosing one at random, such as 2024 Allen & Ginter X (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2024-topps-allen-ginter-x-baseball-checklist-guide), which has some minimal product information and then links to a weirdly formatted Google Doc or Topps' own checklist. Nothing in the new product pages is helpful or interesting, and if that's what persists, I won't visit the site. There are other places to get better and more information in a better format. Please get back to what worked very well in the old format instead of this lower effort placeholder stuff that isn't useful

Rehire Trey Treutel if he quit or was let go. Give him a management position.

Was my go to from the start of my collecting return, I hate using Beckett for checklists.
