Can anyone tell me what the "Total Items" field indicates in the Sets table on my Main Collection page. See picture below. It correctly shows the 142 complete sets that I have entered, but I'm not sure what these 792 other items are. I know Topps baseball sets had 792 cards for several years in the 80's and 90's, so I'm guessing I inadvertently did something wrong with one of those sets, but I haven't been aboe to find anything suspicious.

Thanks.  

It looks like the picture didn't load. I'll try to fix that.

I am not 100% sure on this answer, but some sets have different variations (Donruss '89 baseball for example) of each card, plus insert puzzle set, and a Grand Slammers bonus card set, MVP set etc. So if you add by set you think you are adding 1 set, but you are credited for say 8 or 9 total sets. There is a way to add all cards without variations from the drop down menu for updating . If I am wrong someone will correct my reply, and hopefully give you the correct answer.

Since I still can't get the picture to load properly, I'll try to ask the question more clearly.

On my Main Collection page, there is a "Cards" table showing all of the cards that I have entered, and a "Sets" table showing the complete sets that I have entered. In the "Cards" table the columns are Total Cards and Total $, and those all look correct. In the "Sets" table the columns are Total Sets, Total Items and Total $.

Does anyone know what the Total Items column in this table consists of? 

I have 142 total sets correctly acocounted for, but can't figure out what the additional 792 items listed in this column are. I entered all of the sets as Basic sets, not Master sets, so there shouldn't be any other items in there. 

Thanks.

For the sets I entered (2), the Total Items appears to be the sum of the card counts from those sets (90+110 = 200).

Hmmm. Interesting. But that's definitely not the case for me. My 143 sets add up to over 50,000 cards, but it shows 792 items.

Thanks.

You probably added "items" to some of the entries. I checked some of them and there were no "items" in those, but maybe one of the 792-count sets did have an entry. 

Thanks commish! That's probably it. Odd that all the other sets that I entered have that field left blank, but it is filled in for this one. 

At least I think I now I understand what is considered an item.

Thanks to all who helped.

Excellent news arby. I told you if I was wrong someone would correct me, and you found the right guy in the commish. As a matter of fact (or fiction) he and I used to run a diner together back in the day ... that's me on the left.
