1998-99 Upper Deck Ice McDonald's Hockey Forum

Sorry if this has been brought up before. 

I was going through my collection and was wondering if there should be a link to both the player on the card as well as Wayne?

I don't think so. These don't have links:

https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/222/cid/599644/1992-Upper-Deck---Ted-Williams'-Best-T1-Wade-Boggs?PageIndex=1

Same with Berman's Best in 1993 UD

Counterpoint: Puckett and Gwynn in 1996 Topps, and there's a basketball subset somewhere that has Barkley or Jordan or someone linked on each.

The difference between those examples is that the other person in them is a coach from different team or some other person not directly connected to players career, surely that walter gretzky is problematic, but if we stay like this, then team maybe should be removed, cards even say for example Wayne Gretzky/Luc Robitaille my subbestion is:

T1 Walter Gretzky / Wayne Gretzky Edmonton Oilers

T2 Gordie Howe / Wayne Gretzky New England Whalers / Edmonton Oilers

...

T12 Mario Lemieux / Wayne Gretzky Pittsburgh Penguins / New York Rangers

Here is maybe closer example (as you might know, Bowman was each one of these coach and won stanley cup with most of them) https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/7113/2006-07-In-The-Game-Ultimate-Memorabilia

Bowman Factor has only the player

Bowman Factor Autos has both

Bowman Factor Autos Gold has both

Bowman Factor Gold has only the player

I wouldn't be opposed to adding Wayne to each of the cards, but, per TCDB's guidelines, the person of focus on the cards is really the only person named on the front. Therefore, to stay aligned with the guidelines, Wayne should not be part of the card name or linked.

Additionally, I looked into the ITG Bowman Factor cards and wondered why the discrepancy. Turns out these cards are very much different (and not just autographed versions of the "base" version). The Bowman Factor and Bowman Factor Gold cards are portrait-oriented relic cards, and the relic is from the player named, not Bowman. The 2 Autos sets are landscape-oriented autograph cards with autographs from both Bowman and the other person named. Again, these are formatted correctly according to the site rules/guidelines.
