Cards 1-200, one continuous run, no tiers and no subset block past the base run. Sized off the last rendered page, not off a header: tcdb Gallery.cfm page 20 of the parent ends at card 200 and page 21 renders no tiles (https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/184567/2018-19-Panini-Certified?PageIndex=21&sort=0 ); Checklist.cfm?PageIndex=3 renders no rows (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/184567/2018-19-Panini-Certified?PageIndex=3 ); Errors.cfm returns "No errors or variations have been added for this set yet." (https://www.tcdb.com/Errors.cfm/sid/184567/2018-19-Panini-Certified ). The parent header separately states Total Cards "200" (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/184567/2018-19-Panini-Certified ) and checklistcenter separately renders "200 Cards" (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2018-19-panini-certified-basketball/ ). Three renderings agree. Base cards carry no serial token on any of the 200 parent rows while seven of the eight parallel sids in the same parent render SN tokens - a within-parent discriminative signal for unnumbered base cards, recorded as base_print_run_basis=assumed, not sourced (EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.1). [CORRECTED 2026-09-20: THE Errors.cfm SENTENCE QUOTED ABOVE IS NOT EVIDENCE AND THE CONCLUSION DRAWN FROM IT DOES NOT HOLD. Measured 2026-09-20 on tcdb sid 182809: Errors.cfm returns that identical sentence for a set whose own renderings carry UER on at least two cards (card 260 Mo Bamba, "UER: Statline says Undrafted, was actually drafted 6th", confirmed under &sort=0; card 67 Justin Jackson, "Career stat line is that of Kosta Koufos"). The endpoint returns the same string on a set that provably HAS errata and on one that appears not to, so it discriminates nothing and its silence is uninformative. WHAT SURVIVES: any claim here about base_set_size, about the base run being contiguous, or about no numbered block sitting past the base run, because those rest on the independent contiguous enumeration also cited in this note - the last rendered Gallery page, the empty page after it, and the per-row flag column. WHAT DOES NOT SURVIVE: the narrower claim that NO VARIATION SET EXISTS. A variation set renders as b-suffixed rows (101a/101b) that a base-run enumeration is not designed to surface, and Errors.cfm was the documented route to it, so that claim is now unsupported rather than disproved - it may still be true. Not re-fetched; recorded so it is not read as settled. See reference/caveats.csv CAV-020.]
