Notes
POSITIVE DISCRIMINATIVE TEST for unnumbered on the block rows themselves: Gallery PageIndex=11 on this sid renders "AU" with no serial token on block rows 101-105, while the same renderer prints "AU, SN65" on the corresponding rows of Playoff Ticket. checklistcenter independently lists "Premium" with no run. https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/194837/2018-19-Panini-Contenders-Season-Ticket-Premium?PageIndex=11&sort=0 No channel is written for any parallel in this release. The only channel-bearing quote found is product-level - Steel City Collectibles renders "Look for Blaster Exclusive Parallels!" on the blaster box page - and it names no tier, so inheriting it onto a tier would be exactly the inference section 1.5 forbids. channel=UNKNOWN with an EMPTY channel_basis, per section 2.3 and migrations/003_parallels.sql. https://www.steelcitycollectibles.com/i/2018-19-panini-contenders-basketball-5ct-blaster-box Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/194837/2018-19-Panini-Contenders-Season-Ticket-Premium ; https://www.checklistcenter.com/2018-19-panini-contenders-basketball/ [CORRECTED 2026-09-17: scope_type was `block`; it is now `set`. `block` scope resolves against base_card_tiers (pipeline/load_pg.py builds parallel_block_scope from tier ids), and this release correctly has NO base_card_tiers.csv because its base run is not tiered - cards 101-145 are an autograph block OUTSIDE base_set_size=100, so they cannot be base-card tiers, which must tile the base numbering exactly. With no tiers to resolve against, every block row's scope_set_id was NULL, and migrations/003_parallels.sql's parallel_unique_in_scope index keys on (release_id, parallel_name, COALESCE(scope_set_id,'')) - so all six pairs of same-named tiers collided and the load was rejected. The two scope values are both real rows in this release's sets.csv (`Rookie Ticket Autographs` and `Rookie Ticket Variation Autographs`, both set_type=auto, 45 cards each), so set scope resolves them to distinct ids and is also the more accurate description: these are parallels OF NAMED SETS, not of numbered base blocks. No name, print run, scope value or evidence was changed - only the discriminator.]
