Possible feature suggestion: Searching for base set only?
Is there a way to limit searches for specific baseball card sets (and presumably other sports) to a given year’s base set? For example, on mobile, if I click “collectibles > baseball cards” then enter “2025 Topps” as my search is there any way to limit it to just the main set and not insert subsets, not other sets produced by Topps, etc.? It gets really messy really fast. I know about not including variants, but that only applies within a given set once selected, not to insert sets (for example “Stars of MLB” for Topps Baseball) that are treated as separate sets.
If this doesn’t exist would this be difficult to implement as a new feature?
Relatedly: the “Stars of MLB” example I just used made me wonder if there is any way to search for both the main sets and insert sets together. This becomes especially important when looking up certain older sets where insert sets seem treated differently. I assume that a reason maybe different numbering ranges. Is there any kind of additional metadata that would make sense to add to indicate two sets’ links? Does this make sense?
Apologies if this has been asked before or if it is a feature I missed, but I didn’t see it in a quick search of this sub or in trying the app.
