REGION-EXCLUSIVE BY NAME ONLY - see gap G-009. tcdb "2020-21 Panini Contenders Optic - Rookies Asia" Total Cards "25", 25 rows rendered, card 1 Cole Anthony through card 25 Onyeka Okongwu, no flag token on any row and NO page note of any kind (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/290166/2020-21-Panini-Contenders-Optic-Rookies-Asia); its Gold Wave parallel independently states Total Cards "25" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/290167/2020-21-Panini-Contenders-Optic-Rookies-Asia-Gold-Wave). cardboardconnection heads it "Rookies Season Ticket Asia Set" (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-21-panini-contenders-optic-basketball-cards); checklistcenter "Rookies Asia Set" "25 Cards" with "Parallels: Gold Wave; Red Wave" (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2020-21-panini-contenders-optic-basketball-card-checklist/). Three sources agree on 25. COPY CHECK RUN AND PASSED: this is NOT the base run renamed - it is numbered 1-25 on its own scheme and opens 1 Cole Anthony against the base set's 1 Darius Garland, and it is a rookie roster. It is also NOT the 2019-20 shape: that season's equivalent "Rookies T-Mall" set reused the 101-140 Rookie Ticket card numbers, which made its set-versus-parallel status genuinely contested (that release's G-011); this one has its own 1-25 numbering and is unambiguously a set. Unit: distinct cards. No source consulted states where it was sold - the word "Asia" in the set name is the only regional evidence found.

Checklist · not documented
This set has a recorded count of 25, 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.
