2021-22 Topps Total Soccer Forum

This set is a bit special since it originates from a game where you buy digital packs and get digital cards that you then can order to print to physical cards. The first 100 ordered get a "1st edition" stamp on the card and the cards over 100 are "regular" cards. That is handled on this site as we have a regular set and a parallel set with the "1st edition". However, most or many of the cards never reached 100 prints which means that there are no "regular" base card, just the parallel. Any ideas on how we should represent it in the best way possible on the site? Should we go through and remove the base card in that case?

Also, in the game you can see how many physical cards that are actually printed. Right now the parallel set has PR100 on all cards. Should these be changed to reflect the real number of cards printed? For example, if we have a card that are printed 31 times we should change the 1st edition to PR31 (and then remove the card from the base cards)? If we have a card printed 230 times we leave PR100 on 1st edition and place PR130 on the base card?

Either way it would be quite a task to get it right.

Are the totals still changing? Can a card that only has 90 copies made so far get an additional 20 made and go into the "regular" printing?

Are the totals still changing? 

Good question! No, the 2021-22 season is over so people can no longer order any new cards, so the total is now set. There is a related 2022-23 set for the new season.

As long as we have the final numbers, we can proceed with updating the PR numbers on all of the cards and removing any that don't exist.

For the 22-23 season set, I would recommend only adding the cards that get printed as a "1st edition" into the first edition set and as the totals climb beyond that printing, then add to the "base" checklist. And then, when no more can be ordered, we can go in and update the totals. It's pretty much the best way to handle that since we never know what the print run will eventually be. Not like they have minimums or maximums.
