Often Brands use two numbers. Besides the reference number that collectors know, like and often make a central part of their collecting there is also a number that brands used to track their stock and retailers use to reorder. For example, all Mattel products now have a five-digit Toy Number, here 52920 –
And here a Hasbro example (as for Mattel Hasbro’s are five digits, in this case, E1570) –
We, therefore, have a new field called Manufacturer ID. If you add or edit a Database Item there will be an explanation for these two different reference number fields –
Here for example the new Reference Number section for that Nissan above –
Database Items can be sorted by Reference #, for example, the series that the Nissan is part of can now be sorted like this –
Collector # 023/250, Series # 1/5
Collector # 024/250, Series # 2/5
Collector # 025/250, Series # 3/5
Collector # 026/250, Series # 4/5
Collector # 027/250, Series # 5/5
