Glitch regarding foil Judge Promo cards
TappedOut forum

As it stands I'm foiling out one of my EDH's, which obviously is a common occurrence. I put in all my lovely JP cards such as Imperial Recruiter in my list. Now you'll notice that the price of the card is listed when you hover over that link. Now when I input my cards I do add the F, to show what cards are pimp and what cards I still need to make less peasant-esque (I'm kidding of course, I'm certainly not that elitist). Now here is what happens when I have the previously linked JP card as a foil Imperial Recruiter
. No price listed. This means that when the site calculates the deck's net worth (which clearly I use to compensate for my lack of skill right?) it is substantially lower. Are there any coders that could fix this easily? I'm sure the fix could be relatively simple and I'm sure it affects many people on the site.
Oh damn good point. I would hate to see how shiny your deck is and not know how much you spent on it. How peasant.

I mean it's a big thing but have they fixed the bug of no cards from the entire Magic 2012 set showing up prices at all? That seems like a way bigger thing than JPs.

Totally, I'm glad my prime time shows up at $15 or so dollars but a $700 FoW? Eh. (once again total satire) All kidding aside I didn't even know M12 was missing prices? What cards would that even affect? Every "good" card from that set was in M11 too. Idk... Here is a shameless promotion of my deck:**Global Thermonuclear 5C EDH**and yes... clickbait deck name.

I think the 2012 thing is an issue with the set name being wrong. Promos I don't think will ever get the proper pricing. It is hard to create matching sets for all the different types of promos and isn't optimal for our users.

Why isn't it optimal? Couldn't we just link the prices to TCG mid like everything else?

Cards are actually checked based on set name, that is how you get the individual printing prices. I'm not going to go through 900+ cards of promos and then going through tcgplayer just to connect them. I don't even have the ability to do that either, yeago does, and I don't think he wants to either. People don't need to know the promo prices as you can easily check on tcg player if that is the case. In addition to this, the common user only wants to know how much the deck costs if he could buy it regularly. The majority of our user base are budget users, and young ones at that. They won't want to look at a deck and see its price to be $2k+ because the fetches are $100 more expensive than what they would actually pay for. For those that are taking the time to input promos or special editions, or looking to purchase them, should already know their price.

Fair enough, although I honestly wouldn't have a problem linking all the JP's, but if you continue to extend that out to other promo cards the number gets stupid

You would first have to find all the JP's in the promo set :p
It isn't organized in the slightest.

Update:It seems some JP cards listed prices are simply the prices of their original printings, such as Vampiric Tutor, and Enlightened Tutor. So I guess JP's are just a mess overall?
