CSV import misses matches when the printed number includes the set size

Expected Behavior

I downloaded the Ludex CSV import template, opened it in a spreadsheet and copied each card's exact printed or Slab number into the card_number field.

Actual behavior

  • Kevin Durant · 2007–08 Topps Rookie Set: 2 of 14 returned 0 matched, 1 needing identification. In a controlled preview, changing only card_number to 2 returned 1 match.

  • Gengar · 2022 Lost Origin Trainer Gallery: TG06/TG30 did not match and TG06 matched. The Ludex export also lists TG06.

  • Mega Gengar ex · 2026 Ascended Heroes: 284/217 did not match. Both 284 and #284 matched. In this example, the leading # was accepted.

Reproduction / Investigation Notes

  1. Download the CSV template and create one row for a card listed above. Format card_number as text.

  2. Enter the full printed number on card or slab, upload the CSV

Why the full number matters

  • My 1st instincts were copy it exactly how the slab or printed number shows for best results.

  • Pokémon: 284/217 shows that card 284 falls beyond the main set of 217. The number 284 alone loses that comparison. The slab identifies this card’s specific rarity as Special Illustration Rare. A historical example is Dark Raichu 83/82, which PSA identifies as a Secret Rare.
