there are a few Simplified Chinese-alt art cards that got assigned the same tcgProductid of their English counterpart
https://scryfall.com/card/por/71s/zhs/taunt is an example
this led to a problem in the alltcgskus file: it seems like the id of the main edition got overwritten, and that the english data was assigned to the alt art card - in fact 6581eebc-bbf2-5d44-b325-d97e371bb59f in the file has both ENGLISH and SIMPLIFIED CHINESE language data, while it should only contain SIMPLIFIED CHINESE, and the main card 04333668-23fb-59d8-b682-45e02fb63114 is missing entirely
while it is probably an upstream bug that the alt art share the same tcg id, it would be nice to add some form of validation that checks when there is a data loss like that, and can prioritize the English printing over the other versions
