Notes
Listed in this block's ladder with no figure. cardboardconnection Rookie Ticket Variations ladder: "PARALLEL CARDS: Red Wave, Red #/99 (LaMelo #/49*), Blue #/49 (Lamelo #/35*), Orange #/25, Gold #/10, Gold Vinyl 1/1, Printing Plates 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-21-panini-contenders-optic-basketball-cards). checklistcenter prints a ladder for the Rookie Ticket set but not a separate one for the variations, so this ladder is SINGLE-SOURCE (gap G-014). tcdb catalogues these tiers inside the same 178-card sets as the base parallels. PRINT RUN NOT WRITTEN: tcdb's Red Wave set (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/290984/2020-21-Panini-Contenders-Optic-Red-Wave) states Total Cards "178" and so spans this block, but the rows delivered through the fetch were base-range only, so the absence of a serial flag is evidenced for cards 1-100 and NOT for 101-140. An unfigured entry in an aggregator ladder is not a statement that the tier is unnumbered (gap G-005). CHANNEL DELIBERATELY NOT WRITTEN: no source consulted places this tier in any channel. It is left UNKNOWN rather than inherited from the product-level hobby-box note, because in the 2019-20 sibling release (data/contendersoptic-bkb-2019-20) the Wave finishes were a China/T-Mall exclusive, so assuming hobby here would be exactly the inference EXTRACTION_SPEC 1.5 forbids. See gap G-010. [NORMALIZED 2026-09-12: channel_basis was written `unsupported`, but migrations/003_parallels.sql constraint basis_iff_channel_known requires channel_basis to be NULL exactly when channel is UNKNOWN - `unsupported` is only meaningful for a KNOWN channel. The basis is blanked for conformance; the finding it recorded (no channel evidence covers this tier, and inheriting the product-level hobby note would be the CLAUDE.md rule-7 error) is unchanged and lives in this note and in G-010.]
