card_count equals base_set_size. The run was ENUMERATED in full: 200 rows over 200 distinct numbers 1-200, no number repeated and no number missing. Checklist.cfm?PageIndex=1 gave rows 1-73 and ?PageIndex=2 gave 101-178 cut mid-row inside 178 (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/138222/2016-17-Panini-Absolute); 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 (https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/138222/2016-17-Panini-Absolute), agreeing with Checklist.cfm card for card on both overlaps; Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=21&sort=0 renders ZERO TILES with no link to a page 22, which proves the run ends at 200. tcdb's header "Total Cards: 200" equals my own count, cardboardconnection states "200 cards." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-absolute-basketball) and sportscardchecklist's three base-family entries "2016-17 Panini Absolute (100 Cards)", "2016-17 Panini Absolute Retired (60 Cards)" and "2016-17 Panini Absolute Rookies (40 Cards)" sum to 200 (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2016-17/index-panini-absolute/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information). THE RUN IS TIERED and the three tiers are in base_card_tiers.csv: 1-100 unnumbered, 101-160 Retired serial numbered to 999, 161-200 Rookies serial numbered to 999. Tiers are never rows in sets.csv, so this single row carries the whole 200. EXTRACTION_SPEC 5.3 is NOT engaged: no row in 1-200 carries AU, MEM or EXCH on either endpoint, so there is no autograph or memorabilia block filed past the base run. THE 101-200 BLOCK IS THEREFORE A NUMBERED PART OF THE BASE SET AND NOT AN EXCLUDED BLOCK, and that call is recorded as such rather than taken for granted - see gaps for the structural divergence against the three Absolute seasons already in data/, each of which is a 100-card untiered unnumbered base set.
