2023 Topps Heritage Baseball Forum

I believe it should be 726 as there are 726 base cards to have a complete set. With that said, I put in the following IR for review on the 2023 Heritage set, "With the addition of card 100 being released in high numbers and two cards numbered 327...should the card count total now be 726? "

Word of advice for IRs - don't ask questions in IRs. Get an answer in the forums, then say with conviction what should happen to the database in the IR, else it will be pretty much be deemed that you don't really know what you're requesting and it will be ignored.

I was advised to contact Admin on this exact subject and I did. There has been no update. Entering Card 327b will not change your Base Set count but only the Master. Before High Numbers came out I had the Complete 500 Card Base Set but my count was only 499/500 and not showing complete. I haven't checked on it in a while but I am guessing it is the same situation. 

I checked and it appears the problem with 327b has been fixed. This brings another question that I also contacted Admin about. I have Card 108b the Masataka Yoshida. It is counting towards the Base Set as well as the Master. Base Card 108 is Jarren Duran. You could not have the Jarren Duran in your Collection but have the 108b Masataka Yoshida and your Base Set Count would show 725/725. I feel this is not accurate. It is this way across multiple Sets with the SP, SSP, and SSSP or whatever you prefer to view them as. The SP versions count towards the Base Set, so you can be missing the Base Card and have an SP from that number and the database will show a complete Base Set. I was directed to contact Admin directly as he was the only one who could change a checklist.

i believe the way the system shows between basic and master sets is that having any 1 card of a certain #, no matter how many VAR's it may have will count towards basic set, so you may have a (b)VAR but not the base (a)card , and the system will show it towards basic set. I've run into this issue multiple times,which is where keeping my excel checklist along with the database here lets me keep better track of such things. it's a little confusing at times trying to remember to think like the system...

It's going to be interesting.  I'm guessing the (a OR b OR c) logic was put in place primarily for the dot vars, not the true base vs. SP situation.

Could be difficult to implement if the database can't differentiate between the two situations.
