CHINA-EXCLUSIVE, AND ITS CLASSIFICATION IS CONTESTED - see gaps G-011. tcdb catalogues it as a set in its own right: "2019-20 Panini Contenders Optic - Rookies T-Mall" Total Cards "25", carrying the page note "China-Exclusive retail product. Cards are NOT autographed." (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263390/Rookies-T-Mall). Its rows reuse the Rookie Ticket card numbers - the rendered rows run from card 101 Nassir Little to card 138 Bruno Fernando - so it is an UNSIGNED 25-card selection from the 40-card 101-140 autograph roster. cardboardconnection describes the same thing as a version rather than a set: "T-Mall exclusives include 25 base Rookie Ticket versions with Gold Wave and Red Wave parallels." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2019-20-panini-contenders-optic-basketball-cards). Recorded as a set because tcdb gives it a sid, a distinct name and its own two parallels; the competing reading (a parallel of Rookie Ticket) is carried in gaps rather than silently resolved. Unit: distinct cards. Not listed at all by checklistcenter.
