Notes

tcdb sid 142362, heading "2016-17 Panini Absolute - Spectrum Gold", "Total Cards: 200". THE DISTINCT SERIAL-TOKEN SET OF THIS TIER IS EXACTLY {SN10}, ENUMERATED OVER ALL 200 ROWS AND NOT SAMPLED. Checklist.cfm?PageIndex=1 gave rows 1-76 and ?PageIndex=2 gave 101-173; Gallery.cfm with &sort=0 gave 71-80, 81-90, 91-100 at PageIndex=8, =9, =10 and 171-180, 181-190, 191-200 at PageIndex=18, =19, =20, and Gallery page 20 is the last with no link to a page 21. ONE ROW NEEDED A SECOND FETCH AND IT IS WORTH RECORDING: the Checklist page-1 render cut mid-row inside card 76 and reported that row's flag column as EMPTY, which taken alone reads as an unnumbered card inside a numbered tier; Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=8&sort=0 renders card 76 Solomon Hill as SN10. That is reference/caveats.csv CAV-042's flag-column loss arriving through truncation rather than through endpoint choice, and the varied second fetch is what caught it. Tokens SEEN on every one of the 200 rows after that correction. This tier renders 200 rows numbered 1-200, i.e. the WHOLE base run including both of the /999 blocks, which is why scope_type is base-set rather than block. Base URLs https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/142362/2016-17-Panini-Absolute-Spectrum-Gold and https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/142362/2016-17-Panini-Absolute-Spectrum-Gold; sid taken from tcdb's own Inserts.cfm "Parallel Sets (2)" section (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/138222/2016-17-Panini-Absolute) and confirmed against this page's heading. cardboardconnection states the two-tier base ladder verbatim: "PARALLEL CARDS: Spectrum Gold #/10, Spectrum Black 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-absolute-basketball), agreeing with my token sweep on both tiers. sportscardchecklist carves the same tier into three entries by base block - Spectrum Black at 100, Retired Spectrum Black at 60 and Rookies Spectrum Black at 40 for the Black tier and likewise for Gold - which sums to 200 and reconciles with tcdb filing one sid of 200 rows (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2016-17/index-panini-absolute/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information). CHANNEL NOT ASSIGNED. The only channel-adjacent statements found anywhere for this release are product-level and neither names this tier: cardboardconnection's configuration line "Product Configuration: 5cards per pack, 4 packs per box, 10 boxes per case" is a pack configuration, not a trade channel, and its "Some autograph cards only found through the Panini Rewards program." names no card and no set and matches no value in the channel enum. No EXCH token was rendered on any of the 52 sids swept for this release, so the Panini Rewards cards could not be identified either. So channel is UNKNOWN, channel_basis is EMPTY and channel_confidence is EMPTY per EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3. See gaps.
