Notes

Level tier of the set "Veteran Autographs Level 1". cardboardconnection prints the ladder under that set's heading: "PARALLEL CARDS: Level 2 - #/25 or less, Level 3 - #/10 or #/5, Level 4 - #/5 or #/3, Level 5 - 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-21-panini-absolute-memorabilia-basketball-cards). tcdb independently catalogues each level as its own subset with its own sid under the parent (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/257946/2020-21-Panini-Absolute-Memorabilia), which corroborates that the tier exists; the figure itself rests on cardboardconnection alone. CEILING / ALTERNATIVE, NOT A PRINT RUN (EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3): the figure cardboardconnection gives for this tier is stated as a range or an either/or, so no integer is written and print_run/serial_numbered are UNKNOWN/UNKNOWN. The tier IS serial numbered - the schema cannot express "serial numbered, run unknown", so that fact is held in gaps G-005 instead. STRUCTURAL CALL: the Level 2-5 tiers are filed here as insert-scope parallels rather than as sets.csv rows, matching the 2019-20 sibling release absolute-bkb-2019-20 and cardboardconnection's own "PARALLEL CARDS:" framing, even though tcdb gives each of them a separate sid and card count. See gaps G-007. CHANNEL: recorded hobby from product-level notes only - cardboardconnection "Hobby Configuration: 5 cards per pack, 2 packs per box, 10 boxes per case" (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-21-panini-absolute-memorabilia-basketball-cards), and tcdb describes the base Retail parallel as "Same front photos and backs as the Hobby version, but with white borders" (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/257946/2020-21-Panini-Absolute-Memorabilia), which implies the remaining tiers are the Hobby version. No source states a channel for this tier specifically. channel_basis=from-note. See gaps G-006. [SUPERSEDED 2026-08-19: channel resolved to 'hobby' with cited evidence; note above predates the channel pass]
