Would it be possible to add the Grand Prix promo versions to the database? I notice the Grand Prix promos of Lightning Bolt, Path to Exile and Sol Ring are each missing and I'd like to have my versions listed correctly if possible. Thank you very much to anyone who is able to help!

Hey, any issues with editions of cards should be directed to this forum where a moderator can help solve the issue: Official Missing/Incorrect Card Thread.

As for the GP versions, make sure they aren't listed as a variation, for example with Path to Exile, Lightning Bolt, and Sol Ring.

Basically the site codes the promos under the same general tri-set code with a variation number for the correct art, note however that sometimes the price wont be accurate as our moderators have to update that by hand which takes a long time and they already do enough frankly. The above printings can be achieved using the following card codes:

[[card: Path to Exile (000:3)]]

[[card: Lightning Bolt (000:2)]]

[[card: Sol Ring (000:2)]]

Vale,

The variation (or card number) number for promo sets is ordered by release date. So if you know that a promo is the third promo released for a specific card, you use the number 3. It's arbitrary, but then so are the card numbers WotC gives the promos, as they number them as if each have their own set ... which is the most user unfriendly way to do things because no one is going to remember the TLA (where many are made up) for 200 different promo sets.
