Hi, finally i arrived at the forum! XD Since there are multiple Foil-Versions of Mystical Archive cards... and i think it will happen again - i would suggest that you can add Foil-Etched versions too and not just foils. This would then also be the case (instead of foil versions) for the Commander Legends alternative Legends. Regards, Stephan

yeah and they are completely overpriced if you buy on cardmarket... thats why i am not sure what i want to do XD
Scryfall prices are actually coming from tcgplayer
:( damn... scryfall prices are nonsense and cardmarket does not have a good api and so your app does not have many of the prices of promo cards, collector cards, etc. XD
i am not sure what i want to do haha. use scryfall prices and just take a lower amount for myself...or use cardmarket and live with many missing prices XD
For cardmarket I found no easy way to establish a link as their api sucks
Just saw the change :) i think its a good solution :) looks good! just for me knowing...are the prices not updated yet for foil-etched or is it a bug that it takes the price of the normal version.
Yep I’m doing it right now actually. Expect an update tomorrow
hmm if i think about it... how much work is it to add one card to the app? because in the long run... lets say you would have to add 30-50 additional cards per set... wouldn't it be more work in the long run? hmm ... :(
would definitely be easier yes.
Ok ultimately I feel like I will do something like that:(
seems they made it like cardmarket. they made "22e" for the foil-etched one
You mean like cardmarket does ? Yeah thats what i mentioned before. making an additional version of the card like promos. Just marking them somehow as a different one.
So it is simpler. You can already search the foil etched card in your version. What I can do is adding a new foil treatment info on the foil etched cards. Instead of saying non foil/ foil it would say non foil/ foil etched
Because else foil etched is just a card treatment. We can simply keep the current foil count and I can add on the cards that they have a special treatment. Period
and also I have a question, can a card be foil AND foil etched?
Just think of the price...I have to go through all provider. define how they will return the foil etched price, add a new entry in the storage for each, revisit all stats computation, all the value computation...this is a nightmare
if I do it I have to do it everywhere at once or everything will be screwed(count, value, etc...). Hence my point: Not sure I want to do it yet
for starters maybe just the db column for the foil etched counter and the context menu to add them? without all the search options? well okay the foil-etched counter on the card itself (like foil counter) would be good then too... but maybe tha t is not so much work as you i suppose you do not have to feature of the foil counter to each card manually.
or would you have to deactivate the context menu entry for each card individually? if so...maybe you can (for the future) make groups for the cards... and each group gets specific entries activated? not deactivating entries but activating it for whole groups. (like one group for only foils, one for only non foils, one for only foil-etched, one for 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 1 and 3, 1 and 2 and 3 - i think i covered all the options XD) (just trying to help without knowing how exactly your code and the specific programming language works)
Ideally I should add a third count state (normal, foil, foil etched) but the amount of work to change it all over the place kills me
I will do it..But dunno when
So far I already tagged them inside my db, so you can search them:
Clearly too much. I feel like I'm always running after them to try to keep up
