Why not just put "PENDING" next to the name of a player on the preliminary checklist who has yet to send back the cards at the time the preliminary list is sent out? I can't imagine that would be too difficult for them to do. At least that way people will have an idea of whose cards may not actually be in there. Either that, or just don't put the name on the list at all and if they happen to come in, then just pack them in anyway and/or update people via their website/email/twitter/etc.
The cards would have to be produced and ready to ship so much in advance that people would complain that it takes too much time to make a product. By your rule, they would have to put "pending" next to every name on the checklist; instead, they write that the checklist is preliminary and subject to change...
