Prices really wouldn't change, but being able to mark the cards as the correct promo set and other such things would still be highly applicable.  Then people are at least aware that they may need to look at the price elsewhere since it wouldn't be listed on Deckbox if it isn't supported on TCGPlayer.

They never had that type of data before either, but now they are showing it on their site as separate, but I don't believe that their API has been changed to support that type of functionality.  Not sure when that change will take place.

That, I believe, is the long term plan, but I don't know when it will actually come to fruition.

Disclaimer: I don't actually work on Deckbox, I'm just a seasoned member with a little window behind the scenes from time to time.

First, TCGPlayer's support for promotional cards is spotty, at best, and not kept very well up to date.

Second, TCGPlayer doesn't supply all of the information that Deckbox needs to actually populate the card information (up to date card text, color, mana cost, etc.), and the names through their API aren't always kosher with what everyone else is doing (see Lim-Dûl's Paladin and its lack of price, which is caused by TCGPlayer using names that aren't processed correctly due to special characters), so it can be hard to relate cards correctly.

Could it be done?  Possibly.  But I think it would cause just as many issues as it solves because of missing/differing information.  And Deckbox would most likely, again, have to undergo a bit of a redesign to handle that type of gathering from TCGPlayer (if the API even supports that type of queries).  Personally, I'd rather wait to get the same type of data from magiccards.info that will be fully sustained and more robust.

What is the error message?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see it when I go to your trade page as well.  Not sure what it is, never seen it before.

You'll want to fill in your actual Inventory/Tradelist/Wishlist so that people don't have to try to filter through that huge, raw list.  And it will make it easier for people to initiate trades with you as well.

Best of luck, and welcome!

And actually, I believe the issue is that the TCGPlayer API is still using the Average price, not the Median price that TCGPlayer itself is now showing.  So if one store adds in cards that are WAY beyond the actual retail value, then it will skew the prices.  Once TCGPlayer changes their API, then hopefully that will all be mitigated (as well as maybe allowing us to get Foil prices here).

Sent you a trade.

Also, I decided to dump a whole bunch more into my tradelist, including some big ticket items like Elspeth and Shocklands.
Updated the first post to reflect recent trades and new items.

There is a change in the works to entirely redo the trade interface to allow for exactly this type of filtering (plus more).  It will hopefully be released in the near future, as soon as the team can wrap it up.

It was all proven to be a hoax, sadly.  He was already a large collector.

I have a bunch of that stuff that we can add into our current pending trade.  I'll continue the discussion over there.
