The photo-variation counterpart of the Rookie Ticket block, occupying the SAME card numbers 101-130 and distinguished only by the additional literal token "VAR" on every row - tokens rendered as "AU, RC, VAR". EXCLUDED from base_set_size. tcdb renders no letter suffix on either member of the pair, so two distinct cards share one integer; Errors.cfm pairs them "BASE:" and "VAR:" per number and returns 60 rows for 30 numbers. Card 128 Luka Doncic is the one number whose two Errors.cfm rows are annotated "VAR: shooting" and "VAR: dribbling" rather than "BASE:"/"VAR:". checklistcenter heads it "2018-19 Panini Contenders Optic - Rookie Ticket Variation Auto Set" at "30 Cards".

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.
