Bravo Sports checklist?

Does anyone know where I can find a complete checklist for Bravo Sports' Champion Cards?
As I'm trying to get PSA to recognise some of the earlier cards, to which they stated the following when I brought the very issue up: "While we do accept some Bravo Sport cards, we don't have enough information, including a complete checklist of the set to be able to accept these specific cards. The magazine published quite a few of these, but there aren't very thorough sources to catalogue them, and which we can use for reference." There were Champion Cards released during the 1996-1999 period (and prior to that) which aren't numbered on the reverse such as the Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko cards during the final quarter of 1996, for instance:
Bravo Sport #25 1997 (19th November 1997)
Bravo Sport #22 1996 (9th October 1996)
Bravo Sport #23 1997 (4th November 1999)
1. Fredi Bobic
2. Giovanni Elber
3. Ze Roberto
4. Rogue Santa Cruz
5. Ciriaco Sforza
6. Dariusz Wosz
7. Serena Williams
8. Sven Hannawald
9. Tommy Haas
10. Eddie Irvine
11. Kevin Nash
12. Wladimir Klitschko
Bravo Sport #23 1997 (4th November 1999)
1. Fredi Bobic
2. Giovanni Elber
3. Ze Roberto

5. Ciriaco Sforza
6. Dariusz Wosz
7. Serena Williams
8. Sven Hannawald
9. Tommy Haas
10. Eddie Irvine
11. Kevin Nash
12. Wladimir Klitschko
Though those cards do have some acknowledgement on the front cover of the issue they were located in, though PSA still won't cite that as acknowledgement of provenance. However, during the period of 2001 and 2002, Bravo Sports' cards seemed to have allotted an number on the back of the cards, which were released during the January, April, May, June and September periods of those years, as follows:

I'm hoping to get my The Rock cards from this set graded eventually. Wishing you the best.

"Shuffle the cards and deal half to you and half to your opponent. Toss a coin to determine who goes first. The player whose turn it is chooses a category (age, income, etc.). Both players name their values. The player with the higher number (also the lower depending on the age) wins both cards and gets to start the next round. Whoever has all the cards first wins and knows all the facts."
