Would be very nice to have the (Year Available) info next to (Known Colors) in
Catalog.

This would probably be more useful for sellers than for buyers. Also a bit bmore
for sellers who are listing older pieces, and not just parting out today's
sets.

When setting prices for parts I always consult the trends at PG, and also take
a glance at how many sets a particular part came in. Quite often I will also
check what year that part came in a particular color, so I can better assess
the appropriate pricing for it.

Having the (Year Available) info next to (Known Colors) would be huge help. It
would speed up the process quite a bit, as it gives a much better understanding
at the availability of the part. Having that info when later looking at PG is
very useful.

It would cut down the traffic a bit too Just during last couple days I have
found myself checking the availability of the part (by year) at least a thousand
times. With pictures enabled.

Maybe it could look something like this. Numbers in the example are made up.
