Hey there this should be last question about this set, should the Note for the "Special" cards be modified? It is SP right now and was wondering if SPL or something other would be better as SP is pretty standard for short print. Thoughts?

I know if I ever see SP I assume it stands for "Short Print" so I would certainly agree with your thoughts.

SP is exclusive for Short Print. Gotta change that to SPEC or something. I think SPEC is best.

SPEC is a very common abbreviation for SPECIFICATION. So common it's become its own word. My thoughts; SPC or SPL.

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

There are a 31 other sets currently using SPEC, not for specification, that will need to be updated to avoid using a term associated with an actual word.
Thanks to Chuck for bringing that up. I;m sure a lot of them were being used completely incorrectly anyway.
Also, there are instances of "Special" being used in conjunction with other words all over the glossary. Take a look there first before deciding which of Chuck's suggestions to use. (And yes, I'm good with either one he proposed. Don't use SPEC.)

The delegate from the state of New Jersey casts his lone ballot for "SPCL".

The goober from Canada went and fixed it as SPEC and locked the notes down, I will contact Admin and have him update it as needed. Again being quicker than the replies. UGH

I don't like SPEC either. SPC or SPL seem best to me. Besides, too long of an acronym.

Speaking of special cards. I’ve been wondering why the ”Super Chase” is listed as ”Inserts and Parallells” since it’s neither?
As I recall it’s a part of the set (#271 rather than NNO), the way to get was to pack a redeem card that you sent to Semic and they sent you the Chase card. So it should be listed as either NNO or #271 with RDM after it.
