Notes

tcdb sid 149133, "2016-17 Panini Aficionado - Artist's Proof", "Total Cards: 150" - a FULL parallel of the 150-card base run. NO serial token on any of its 150 rows, enumerated over every row on two endpoints: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/149133/2016-17-Panini-Aficionado-Artists-Proof?PageIndex=1&sort=0 (rows 1-72, flag column EMPTY on all 72), https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/149133/2016-17-Panini-Aficionado-Artists-Proof?PageIndex=2 (all 50 rows of 101-150, flag column "GR" on 101-140 and "IN" on 141-150 - the base subset codes, not serial tokens), and Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=8, 9 and 10 under &sort=0 covering 71-100 with no token on any tile. The reading rests on a within-product POSITIVE DISCRIMINATIVE TEST rather than on an absence: the same renderer, on the same card numbers of the same product, emits SN99 on all 150 rows of Artist's Proof Red (sid 149134) and SN1 on all 150 rows of Artist's Proof Gold (sid 149135), so a missing token here is a measured absence and not an unread column. Every row was enumerated; nothing was sampled (CAV-050). tcdb's Inserts.cfm Notes cell for this row is EMPTY (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/146983/2016-17-Panini-Aficionado) and in THIS page's Parallel Sets section a blank cell is discriminative: the section passes the both-directions split test on all five of its rows, with the two annotated rows ("Serial numbered to 99", "Serial numbered to 1") confirmed numbered and all three blank rows confirmed tokenless by row-level probes. cardboardconnection lists the tier by name - "PARALLEL CARDS: Tip-Off, Artist's Proof, Artist's Proof Red #/99, Artist's Proof Gold 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-aficionado-basketball) - but prints no figure against it, and an editorial checklist omitting a figure is not a statement of fact, so this is single, not multi. Channel UNKNOWN: no source states a trade channel, SKU or exclusivity for any tier of this product.
