I think all of the promo sets you just added as well as all of the dual decks and ftvs have the property that for each card there is only a foil or non-foil version...sometimes it may be different for different cards, like deckmasters and dual decks have a couple of cards foil and most non-foil, but all of the cards in those sets have one version. Similarly for game day cards, some are foil some are non foil, but there is only 1 version for each card name.
Another way to look at it is that the only sets that have both non-foil and foil versions of a given card are core and expert set releases post 7th edition as well as modern masters
Sebi knows that some cards were printed only in foil and some were printed only non-foil. He was asking if anyone knew of an online database somewhere that he could just pull that information from to make it a bit faster, rather than setting the properties of each printing individually.
I thought he was asking so he cold make the pricing info consistent and correct. If so, then my answer should be sufficient...segregate the price data you have for foil and non-foil for expert and core sets post 7th+modern masters; and aggregate the data for all other editions, showing that price whether or not the foil tag is selected.
The key is, there is only ONE price for all those other editions, it doesn't matter that it's foil or non foil, that price should be used regardless of what the user tags it as since it is the only one that exists.
