Not all cards available via API #18

Hello!

I am writing a scraper from pricecharting->Tcgplayer->cardmarket->130point. I have started by scraping all of pricecharting and then converting it to a rich object provided by this API.

I have noticed that not all sets are present, or at least there is not parity that the api is indexing. For example, an EB Games Charmander is technically in sv3pt5 and has a number of 4. However, the EB Games stamp is not supported.

I thought perhaps there was a 'set' I was supposed to look for this in, like svp (but it is admittedly not a SVP promo).

So:

cards = Card.where(q='name:Charmander artist:GIDORA')

Returns two cards - one from sv3pt5 (Scarlet Violet 151) and one from sv4pt5 (Paldean Fates). However, their tcgplayer data is only referencing the 'normal' and 'reverseholofoil' parameters, both of which are just the normal commons. There is no EB Games stamped promo anywhere to be found.

I am assuming this is because the api is not fully indexing tcgplayer's card library anymore. The card is on tcgplayer at https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/517557/pokemon-miscellaneous-cards-and-products-charmander-004165-gamestop-exclusive

The set for 'pokemon-miscellaneous-cards-and-products' is likely not being fully indexed.

Thank you! I know it hasn't been touched in 3 years. Also happy to use a different solution if there is one.
