Those are the only ones I know of.

Just for a heads up, and great list BTW, but there are a few shorter abbreviations.

 

 

 

And I would use Violet City Trading Company or Phantom Knight Trading Company as a good basis for card prices.

Like CL instead of COL?

Like CL instead of COL?

the proper abbreviation is actually CL.

 

 

 

 

I can make a list of the 2 bit abbreviations.

 

 

All set abbreviations from HS-COL are natively 2 characters.

 

 

BW = Black & White ( Some players use the same acronym for the BW black Star Promos, which may be confusing)

 

EP = Emerging Powers

 

NV = Noble Victories

 

ND = Next Destinies

 

DE = Dark Explorers (Rarely used)

 

D and then X = Dragons Exalted (Rarely used) ***it censored my text***

 

DV = Dragon Vault (There is no 3 character acronym)

 

BC = Boundaries Crossed

 

PS = Plasma Storm

 

PF = Plasma Freeze

 

PB = Plasma Blast

 

LT = Legendary Treasures

 

KSS = Kalos Starter Set (No tradable merchandise atm. Also there is no 2 character abbr.)

 

XY

 

FL = Flashfire

 

FF = Furious Fists

 

PF = Phantom Forces

 

PC = Primal Clash

 

AO = Ancient Origins

 

BT = BREAKthrough

 

BP = BREAKpoint

 

FC = Fates Collide

 

 

 

Also, the McDonalds Happy Meal Promo cards are in the database?

 

Funny, I've never seen them...

 

 

 

As for promo cards, most people don't use the PR abbreviations, instead choosing to use the prefix on the card itself (e.g. BW09 Zoroark FT, LF RS packs.)

 

 

 

As for fair trades, I would look at the trading companiesz, because they usually have the most accurate pricing (though sometimes they are a bit cheaper than the typical trades..)

No, the McDonalds cards are not in the database, I just added the abbreviations in.
