Applies to

the full 200-card base set of 2018-19 Certified

Notes

Within-sid discriminative probe on this tier: tcdb renders the set heading "2018-19 Panini Certified - Base Mirror", Total Cards "200", lowest rendered card number 1, and no serial token on any rendered row (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/190473/2018-19-Panini-Certified-Base-Mirror ). This is the positive discriminative test EXTRACTION_SPEC 6 requires before writing unnumbered on a base-set-scope tier: the SAME parent renders SN tokens on all seven sibling parallel sids and none on this one, and checklistcenter independently lists this tier with no print run while giving one for each of the other seven. The Inserts.cfm blank-annotation test was NOT available and was NOT run - see below. Second source on the print run: checklistcenter lists the base ladder as "Base Mirror; Red #/299; Blue #/199; Orange #/99; Purple #/49; Gold #/10; Green #/5; Black 1/1" (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2018-19-panini-certified-basketball/ ). Eight of eight tiers agree with the tcdb tokens, which is the source calibration for this release. tcdb Inserts.cfm on the parent lists exactly these eight rows under the heading "Parallel Sets (8)" (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/184567/2018-19-Panini-Certified ); the members were opened rather than the header counted, and all eight render lowest card number 1 with Total Cards "200", so all eight are genuinely base scope. IMPORTANT - the Inserts.cfm Notes column on this parent carries IMAGE-COMPLETION PERCENTAGES ("71.3% of images added"), not print runs. That is the Contenders / Hoops Winter shape, not the Prizm shape: there is no split between annotated and blank rows, so the blank-annotation test carries zero information here and was not run. Every print run above comes from a within-sid serial-token probe instead. Name written as both structural sources render it ("Base Mirror"); this is the only base tier whose name carries the Mirror string. parallel_family=Mirror for the whole base ladder, following the documented catalogue convention that a product-wide treatment which the parallel NAMES do not carry is branding, not taxonomy (pipeline/fix_schema.py, Obsidian "Electric Etch" and Illusions "Trophy Collection" comments): here the one tier whose name does carry the string is "Base Mirror", and the seven colour tiers sit in the same ladder under the same treatment. The family is a grouping, not a name; no tier was renamed. Channel is PRODUCT-LEVEL, not tier-level: no source assigns a channel to this tier individually. The only documented SKU for the product is a hobby box - Steel City Collectibles titles it "2018-19 Panini Certified Basketball Hobby Box" (https://www.steelcitycollectibles.com/i/2018-19-panini-certified-basketball-hobby-box ) and checklistcenter states "Price: Approx. $94USD Per Hobby Box; Configuration: 5 Cards Per Pack; 10 Packs Per Box; 12 Boxes Per Case" (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2018-19-panini-certified-basketball/ ). basis=sourced-presence, not sourced-exclusive: no source says hobby-EXCLUSIVE.
