Some day I'm going to post code so that someone can run a catalog
with infinite items but just one single SKU.  Just lump it all
into one big attribute you can throw on the printer and let the
stock pickers figure it out.  :-)

The easy way, use three skus.  That's what they are for.

Ask the same question again and I'll have a different idea.
