Hey all, I’m looking at some listings for French torchics on eBay and I’m finding info that contradicts the spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet says that for Emerald, French cards should have 2 codes for common with one being a repeat of the reverse code.
I’m staring at 4 eBay listings with different codes, suggesting that at least the French cards follow the English pattern (unless I’m missing something).
Reverse, 4NK (new user so can only post 3 links, easily searchable on eBay)
I assume you’re talking about the ‘Info Page’ of this spreadsheet:
And then the following text:
I think this is a typo, based on the texts at the Unsseen Forcess and Delta Species sections, and should have been “Uncommon - 2 codes; 2 for regular, 1 repeat (code 2) for reverse holo” instead.
You’re indeed correct that the Commons follow the English spreadsheet, but the Uncommons have one additional non-holo code that’s the same as the Reverse Holofoil in German/French/Italian/Portuguese, whereas in English it only has one code each for non-holo and Reverse Holofoil.
@tonysandlin Could you correct this in your Excel?
Yea, this is a typo. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to change it when I am at a computer. The reason I stated that one of the uncommon codes is a repeat of the RH and not the other way around is because the RH code is unique in most other instances.
@tonysandlin Since you made the new sheet of English Serial Codes …
There’s a user named “TokenGrad” that have told me this:
Perhaps you can help me with something here. So, there are two sheets in circulation for the serial codes. For the one attached to the older post on this subject on Elite Fourums, they stated that sometimes error cards weren’t printed with all the serial code variations. The cards in question are, Marill from EX Sandstorm, Gastly from EX FireRed & LeafGreen, and Magikarp from EX FireRed & LeafGreen.
On the newer sheet that you link here, I believe that the authors “worked out” the pattern of codes and did not specify anything for the error cards.
@tonysandlin Hi! First of all wanna say a huge thanks for the amazing spreadsheet you’ve made over the ex-era. Currently working on collecting the whole era and made my own copy of your sheet added with cards like theme deck exclusives and other cards additional to the sets. Made an account on here just to give heads up about a few typos/errors you’ve made. #1 In ex Deoxys the numbering is off. Magikarp (supposed to be #64) and Phanpy (supposed to be #69) wrong and have shifted all cards after them #2 In ex Sandstorm #101-109 are copied in from Ruby & Sapphire. They are not in the set. #3 Is a minor typo in the “Info Page” Where you wrote “Team Aqua Team Magma” instead of the set name “Team Magma vs Team Aqua”. “Holon Phantoms” is misstyped as Holon Phandoms. You also added a space in “LeafGreen” on the “Info Page”.
Hope it helps! Once again, huge thanks! Makes hunting Serial Code master sets so much easier
Thanks so much for helping find the mistakes! I have been quite busy and haven’t had time to really sit down and fix everything, but I plan to get in there and do that as soon as possible.
Also, I’m not the only one who worked on this so I can’t take credit! I listed everyone who contributed in the doc, so they should get some recognition as well. It was a team effort
And I would love to see a completed collection of this one day. I’m interested to see your progress!
Hi Dromanyte!
Can’t answer regarding Marill or common Magikarp. However, for gastly I know 100% they printed all codes on the common symbol, I own 3 of em and my friend the 4th, also own all codes on Uncommon error except ZTR. When it comes to Magikarp I own all 3 normal codes for the uncommon error (missing the reverse holo code).
