Registry Pics all messed up?

Hey all,

I went to my 49 Bowman Set on the registry to check something and I clicked on the photo icon for number 9, Ferris Fain, and the photo is one from my 1980 Kellogg's set (same card number though, 9)

Do I have to use a different numbering process when naming my photo files?

I used "009" for the file name on both cards, but I uploaded them from different folders.

Should I use a different sustem like 49B009 (49 Bowman 009) and 80K009, etc to avoid this?

What do you guys do?

Thanks.

  • I would say yeah, you should definately use a different numbering system. I don't have anything on the registry, but if you're uploading the pictures to PSA's servers, then a file with the same name could get switched around pretty easily during maintenance and whatnot.

  • What I dont understand though, is how many cards on the registry have the same file name?

    For instance, out of all registered set... how many cards are named "001" ??? Probably tens of thousands... so their system must have a way of knowing which came from my system...

    But that begs the question, "Why cant their system differentiate between the actual uploaded file's path?"

    One card came from C:MasterBaseball Cards1949 Bowman09.jpg and the other was C:MasterBaseball Cards1980Kelloggs09.jpg.

    See what I mean? This doesnt make sense.

    Each user has a "folder" that all of their pics are saved in, so if you upload a file with the same file name as one already saved, then it'll overwrite it.


    So, it looks like your folder is:

    http://images1.collectors.com/psa/set_registry/m842266/

    PSA apparently doesn't allow sub-folders, which makes sence, as you wouldn't want to re-upload a George Brett rookie when you decide to go create both a 1975 Topps set and an MVP set.

    So, you'll want to do something like 49b007.jpg as opposed to 007.jpg.

    Happened to me too. So now some of my Mars cards are Target moons. I tried to fix it but of course the scanner I know used claims the file is too large, ok, so i used the digital camera (never had a problem b4) and sure enuff same thing.
