Field notes
CardboardFile uses a checklist-based archive model: sets acquire pages as their cards are documented, rather than presenting a fully populated catalog at launch. The visible 1979–80 O-Pee-Chee set is at 3 of 396 cards, with entries for an Oilers emblem checklist, Guy Lafleur, and Wayne Gretzky. Its stated data boundary is unusually clear: auction records are included, but live prices, estimates, and valuations are not.
