I'm entering cards from recent lot purchases and for the second day in a row I get this problem using the number filter on a player's page.

I get to the part where you may select the filter, but then the results are not complete. And we're not talking about multiple pages, it's just one page. For example, unless my vision is failing, and it is bad, but not that bad, can someone go to Evan Longoria's "Collection Summary" page and click on Add/Update, then Filters on the next page, and there input card #230? You'll supposedly get ALL the Gypsy Queen cards, except the one I'm trying to enter that doesn't match anything shown. It's not a mini, and is the regular non-SN parallel to this one: https://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/64002/cid/4339813/2012-Topps-Gypsy-Queen---Mini-230-Evan-Longoria-

Yesterday, I went through the same issue with a Julio Lugo card that only showed SNs, but not one I had. I eventually found it just going to the set page, but that doesn't fix this supposed problem.

Any help, or guidance, is appreciated as always.

This is precisely why we're trying to move away from using a number like "230a"

The card should be entered at "230[a]".  That way the filter for card number 230 will work.

Aah! Very simple reason. I guess if one doesn't know there's an "a" and "b" variant then they'll run into this issue going about it in this manner. Thanks for the help.

But we don't have to run into this. As OCHawkeye points out, if the cards are formatted CORRECTLY, with the number ONLY in the number field, and with the arbitrary letter in the additional field that is displayed only when certain "magical" series of letters are in the Note2 field, then this will not happen.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to document the sets that still need to be fixed. If anyone has any suggestions....

Is there a way to make a list collaborative?

Not at the moment. That would be up to Admin to do (if possible).

Okay, now this is not a filter issue, though, I ran into the same problem that my card(s) are not showing up using it. This time, though, I believe it to be a checklist issue. I have several SNs from the 2002 SP Authentic Future Watch inserts, but the only inserts in the set are USA Future Watch, which I was able to enter a couple that I have, but not these that parallel the base set. Mine are #/1999 and the ones that I did find are the Limited and Limited Gold, but my cards aren't part of those sets anyway. One of the ones I have is Jamey Carroll #218 SN 1154/1999. More help, please!

Thanks! Hey, I just noticed all my others except one are in the checklist as SNs - the Future Watch through #170, however, the second section of Future Watch, where the Carroll card is doesn't have the SN. I have another, #208 Shawn Sedlacek whose card doesn't reflect an SN. The bigger question: Are all the Future Watches SNs?
