I was just thinking if it would be possible to be able to have in the search results that it would say how many of a certain card people wanted or had? I think it be much easier when going through that list you knew how many people have/wanted before flipping through the list just see they only have/want 1 when you have/want 4, you know what i mean?

The problem is that there is no standard for how to list the number of cards, making it very difficult to identify numbers needed or had. As the next question is going to be "Why not standardize it", I'll answer that one now and save time. There are only 2 ways to do that. Either make it an enforced standard (that is, completely rewrite the H/W list entry to have boxes for card names and numbers) or make it a recommended standard. An enforced standard sounds good, except it means every existing list will have to be deleted, and the cut-and-paste process that many of us use to post new lists will not work, making long lists like mine take well over an hour to post, compared to the 30 seconds that it takes now. A recommended standard works as far as people are willing to use it, but as we've seen with foil tags and such, many people just don't care and won't take the time to do it, so we're only a little better off than we are right now.__________________
