Ok, the #8 card has a VAR.  When I first went to the checklist, only 8b had VAR in the Note field so had the subfield in the number to enter a "b".  I added a Note to the 8 card so that it can be identified without having to go to the b card (one of my pet peeves - both cards are either VAR or neither are). But when I go to renumber the first one as 8 subfield a, the subfield does not show up.  I have the Level of permissions required so what is up?

A certain member decided that only one card can have a VAR, not both.  They removed all the VAR notes from the first cards in sets.  Thus removing the "a" and subfield.

I remember that discussion. I thought it was about 50/50 on those that made sense and those that didn't.  How can one card be a VAR of another if the first one is not a VAR of the second one?

It wil be difficult to correct some of the # with this thought philosophy.  The MVP insert set has a similar issue with the Smoltz ERR card.  A sub-field is not available for the COR card.

I tried; back to my corner and the reconciliation of my collection.

There is a rule in place to allow the extra number field to display.

If the first characters in the Note2 field are any of the following, the extra Number field displays:

• VAR:
• COR:
• ERR:
• BASE:

The colons (:) are not accidental, and must be part of the text included or the extra field will not be present. There also cannot be a space before the colon.

Thanks Dan, my error in not adding the VAR in the Note 2 field.  It has been a while.  Going back to correct.

Fixed.

Not having permission, but when I do, it's nice to know the in and outs. I also think there are many such cases as Bruno mentioned that as we go need addressing.
