COUNT CONTESTED AND RESOLVED TO 30: tcdb's plain subset (sid 210862) states "Total Cards: 29" while tcdb's own NBA Ink Gold subset (sid 210861) states "Total Cards: 30" and renders a row "NI-KKZ" Kyle Kuzma; checklistcenter states "30 Cards - Serial Numbered #/99 or as Noted (*No Kuzma)" - naming exactly the player the plain subset lacks. 30 is written. SYSTEMATIC ONE-ROW SHORTFALL ON THE PLAIN TIER, SEEN ON THREE SETS IN THIS RELEASE: tcdb's plain subset renders one row fewer than its own Gold subset, and checklistcenter states the higher figure and names exactly the player tcdb's plain subset lacks. See the gaps. Per-card variable serial numbering, recorded in words only: rows render "AU, SN99", "AU, SN49" and "AU, SN25" on the same sid (NI-ADR Andre Drummond SN99, NI-AWG Andrew Wiggins SN49, NI-DLL Damian Lillard SN25, NI-DMC DeMarcus Cousins SN49, NI-DMC DeMarre Carroll SN99 - note two different players sharing the code NI-DMC as tcdb renders it).

This set has a recorded count of 30, but the card-by-card checklist is not yet in the catalogue. That's an open research question, not a statement that no checklist exists. If you know a source that documents it, tell us — a pointer to one is exactly what closes these.
