I don't think we need a "Partial Parallel" category. All we need to do is use the Release Notes. That's what they are there for. See my mock-up below. Notes like "only cards #1-100 are paralleled", "skip numbered partial parallel". BTW, why doesn't the "Parallel" parallel set have a descriptive name? Is it "Gold"?

Can "Partial Parallel" be added to the list of options for "Inserts and Related Sets"? Not every parallel covers the entire set.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

That would be an overly complicated way to go about something, but it does convey the same information, I suppose. Doesn't look as good nor match the rest of the entire Database's sorting system though.
As for the regular parallel: In theory yes Gold would be correct, however, Topps majorly blundered and only about half of the cards are fully gold, with the other half being normal coloration on the back of the card. I have been unable to determine if the cards are available in both versions or each number has only one version.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Overly complicated?? Release Notes are very easy to use. And were put in place to help identify inserts and parallels. We all know how confusing they can be.
And something that should definitely be added to the "Parallel" parallel set explaining exactly what you cited. Suggestion: rename it "Gold", add Release Note: "some cards do not have gold-coloring on back".

Yay for multiple colleges!

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.

Is there any way to make the Glossary section have a search option? I type in a word that needs a note and it shows me the options available. Last night I was again trying to remember how to put in Broadcaster and had to manually scroll throught he list to find it, I ened up using BR, hopefully that was correct.
Also still wondering if we could have the inaccuracies link added to a few other places, first one being on a player's overview screen.

Oh you bet C2C I use that all the time but when you get there wouldnt a search window be a nice addition just like the home page lets say, so you type in Pitching Coach and then the DB gives you all the options in the Glossary bank that Pitching Coach is in. Make any sense?
