New to  TCDB. To test adding a Topps Boxed set to my colllection, It's 1991 Base 1-792 cards. When I added it it came back telling me the set was added and was 777 cards of 792 and 98 % complete. Was wondering why it did that since the boxed set I have has 792 cards?

You did not add card numbers 5, 22, 42, 87 and a few more.

I didn't add any individual cards, just told it to add the whole set. Selected add all cards without Err/Var. 

Hi,

Does this set have variations or errors within ?

To add all cards, you would then need to choose "Add all cards to your Collection (with ERR/VAR)"

That could be an explanation...

Don't know. I bought a boxed set every Christmas from 83-91 for my son. Just ordered the box from Topps back them. My son never did anything with them so they've been just stored in their boxes for 40 years. Maybe those missing cards are the Err/Var cards since I told it not to load them but I didn't think every box would have all the Err/Var. Just wanted to load it as the 792 base cards. Planned to go look later to see if any Var/Err cards were there.

"Boxed set"? Do you mean Factory set?

Yes - factory set. 

Looks like the problem is  related to  the Err/Var. Card 5 was a Ripken Card. I went in and selected the correct Err/Var version and it updated to 778 from 777. I'll just have to go through the sets for the cards missing in the DB and check which version of the card are is my set. 

You also have to watch out for variations only available in factory sets.

Thanks.  #10 card was Greg Olson but it wasn't one of the cards missing but it did have a variant which the card in my set was. I'll have to go through each of  cards in the Err/Var list for the set on TCDB and check. Something I can do over time. Thanks much for your help.
