After six months on this site, I checked the total team cards under STATS for my top team (Pirates) which is currently 2191. Then I checked the number of cards: 2118 (73 duplicates). However, when I checked the number of duplicates for each year for that team, the total number is 76.  

Can anyone explain the reason(s) the discrepancy? 

Thanks.

How exactly are you checking the duplicates for each year?

Thanks for the reply and question. 

I scrolled through the list of sets by year and noted each Pirates card for that year that had more than "1" for quantity. If it was a "2" for a card then that was 1 duplicate; if a "3" then it was 2 and so on. I made a list of the number of duplicates per card/per year. And I manually checked each card in my collection so as to confirm that indeed I had the quantity of duplicates as indicated in the database.   That total turned out to be 76. 

Now, is there any chance a card that has two Pirates on it (a league leaders, for instance) that I have one duplicate of is causing a discrepancy in the "counting" issue?

I appreciate any assistance.

I solved the apparent discrepancy. In my 1971 team set, I have all 29 cards for the Pirates listed in the database. I also have the 3 NL Championship cards that cover the Red v Pirates playoffs. Those cards are not listed on the team page. But I accidentally included those in my count of team duplicates. Problem solved.
