:A side reason why I mentioned this earlier is because The Original Series is an extremely tricky area. For Base Set, there are four different print runs, meaning that any additional list for Base Set organized in this way would need at least 306 entries. As for Jungle, there is another print run that changed the copyright date, but not for all the cards. These earliest sets are going to need a special method of listing additional cards: one that involves a set of templates that isn't yet created. I absolutely appreciate your interest and effort, but Original Series is a very scary area, even for me, to try and figure out, and I will most likely need to consult with extremely knowledgeable members of the collector community in order to do the initial research needed to even create the tables for these sets. It's an extremely difficult time for the TCG, and is ultimately the reason why I was working my way backward from the present. We're always doing a lot of stuff at the same time, and Original Series is a task that needs a lot of focus in order to be worked out. | |||
:As for Jumbo cards, the additional cards list only lists the playable copies of each card: even World Championship cards are left out because of their different backing. They are organized by how the majority of people keep their collections so that the majority of readers have an easy to use resource. They are ultimately base on the specific expansion's "Master Set", which does not include Jumbos or world champ cards. Jumbos will eventually have their own page, and we've actually done a fair bit of research on those. The page just hasn't been created yet as focus has been in other places. | |||
:I know I rambled on a lot, but I hope this helps. There's always just a lot of stuff going on. I love your initiative and appreciate your help. I've seen you notice things that needed to be done and just did them, and that's awesome. It's that you happened to find an extremely large and significant task that I just don't think we're ready to take on yet.
