the full 100-card base set of 2019-20 Absolute Memorabilia

Notes

tcdb catalogues "Retail" as one of the eight base parallel sets (sid 220198, Total Cards "100") and describes it: "Same front photos and backs as the Hobby version, but these have white borders on the top and left" (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/216972/2019-20-Panini-Absolute-Memorabilia). UNNUMBERED IS EVIDENCED, NOT ASSUMED: on https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/220198/ the per-row flag column is empty on every row, on the same renderer that prints "SN199" on every row of the base Red parallel (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/220197/). cardboardconnection: "PARALLEL CARDS: Retail, Red #/199, Blue #/99, Orange #/75, Purple #/25, Gold #/10, Green #/5, Black 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2019-20-panini-absolute-memorabilia-basketball-cards) - cardboardconnection likewise lists "Retail" with no figure while giving one for all seven colour tiers. CHANNEL: cardboardconnection states "It means there is a retail format with an exclusive version. Beyond that, we haven't seen or heard any specifics." - channel_basis=sourced-exclusive. That sentence also confirms no per-SKU detail beyond the fact of a retail format; the gravity-feed pack referenced on tcdb's Rookies Yellow row is the only other retail signal found.
