Don't need to change rainbow. Just need people to figure out what a rainbow is. Incomplete rainbows are not rainbows. You need the supers!

Well, what about a complete run of say A&G? Base card, numbered, wood, hidden crap in the box. None of it is really colorful, so rainbow seems even less appropriate. But don't have a better suggestion.

I guess I'll stick with the term, but if something better comes along, I'd support a change. Something like "complete run" or something.

But not the plates?

New suggestions instead of "rainbow"....

"Just completed my Trout Skittles"

Or

"Finally got the super to finish my miggy Lifesaver"

Or

"Snagged the red, now I have the Harper MLP (my little pony)"

Or

"Bingo, scored the last card for my Kershaw Doppler 4000"

I cast my vote for MLP - my little pony !

I support this, supers should be included otherwise it isn't a rainbow.

But not the plates?

As for the plates, I kinda feel like one should be included but could be convinced that none are needed.

I'm working on a 1934-36 Batter Up rainbow, and 34 Diamond Matchbooks rainbow too.

Rainbow works fine for me. Guess it could be a "palette," as in "I'm working on Harper's full palette of 2013 Bowman Chrome."

Ahh yes, I guess vintage does have it's version of a rainbow or two. I had forgotten about the Batter Up's.

41 Goudey too…just missing that damn yellow one

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. There is no color called super in a rainbow. This is basic elementary school art class stuff here, man.

You think calling a rainbow a rainbow isn't manly? You are THAT worried about being manly?


You are collecting pictures of another man either
A: in athletic pose
B: a portrait

And you draw the line at calling several cards in different colors a rainbow?

I like the 1994 Stadium Club Rainbow cards but I prefer the Topps Gold cards which are found at the end of rainbows.

After giving this some thought, alternate synonomic names could be:

Spectrum, Continuum, Cascade, Kaleidoscope, Panoply, Manly-bow, Testament, Book, Main-bow ,Species, Genus, Catalog, Sequence, Section, and Perpetuity

Then I started thinking about other groups of things, and that soon led to the Book of St. Albans, which was a sort of field guide for sporting, manly gentlemen in the 15th century. It's where we get a lot of terms for groups of things like "quiver of arrows" and "murder of crows." This sort of thing is great fun for less-manly types who like to sit around in salons playing word games (i.e. most English majors). Sometimes they are spot on, sometimes they have a real poetical ring, sometimes they are somewhat witty puns. So for this particular thing, a "Deck" might be applicable. Or "Pack." Some others in this vein of "feeling it":

Riffle, Stack, Quarry, Maelstrom, Collective, Smash, Rip, Guilt, Remorse, Maguire, Cleavage

I kind of like Rip. "Hey, Bob, do you have a 2012 Topps Chrome Red Refractor? I just need that one to complete my Rip of Sizemore." That sounds sorta manly.

"Rainbow" is an established term in the hobby. Prism/Prizm and Spectrum are both currently used as card set and insert names, which might cause some confusion. My main issue with this whole mess is that superfractors make it impossible to build a double rainbow...

I like the term rainbow, but as someone else said player set/master player set would make a whole lot of sense.

I'm coining the term now - cycle. Collect for the cycle.
