Another friendly reminder about what should be in the Note1 field.

Rule I: All Notes must be entirely capitalized, without spaces or internal punctuation. ... Notes should be as short as reasonably needed to convey the necessary information, and will most commonly be 2 to 3 characters.

Guideline 1A—Although some other sites report relative distribution ratios for each card in all sets using terms such as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, etc., the TCDB does not generally follow that practice. ... Notesstating any variation of uncommon or rare, such as "UC" for "Uncommon Card" or "RR" for "Rare Rookie" are not needed. ... In Non-Sport sets such as Pokémon, all relative distribution identifiers, including Common, Uncommon, Rare, etc., are included in Note2.

I didn't know we can makeup and add our own NOTE 1.

Think I tried that with POG and got slammed. No pun intended.
