Hi,
I recently bought a holder for trading cards, and it has a list of all the possible
cards (SW Series 2) with their numbers. Does it help if I add all the items to
the catalog? I have a few more where I will also add the images of the cards,
but in many cases, I won't.
Thanks,
Tamas

For those who might have this question.
Do not bother adding, if no photo it will be removed after some time.

It's true that we don't typically approve catalog entries without photos.
There are a few exceptions, though. We're currently working on updating
our catalog guidelines and plan to explicitly state those exceptions in the new
guidelines.

The reason we don't add items without photos is because past experience has
repeatedly shown us that we may never get a photo if we don't require one
up front. This happens not only for rare items, but for common items with multiple
for-sale listings.

This is a good example:

 
Part No: 3855pb014  Name: Glass for Window 1 x 4 x 3 with Flag of Poland and Soccer Ball Pattern (Sticker) - Set 3404
* 
3855pb014 Glass for Window 1 x 4 x 3 with Flag of Poland and Soccer Ball Pattern (Sticker) - Set 3404
Parts: Window, Glass & Shutter, Decorated

It's been in the catalog for 11 years and there are nine different sellers
with the part for sale, but none have sent us an image for the catalog.
