Notes

PRINT RUN NOT WRITTEN - THE TIER IS PROVABLY SERIAL NUMBERED WITH A RUN THAT VARIES BY CARD, AND THE SCHEMA CANNOT CARRY THAT STATE (EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3). tcdb page 2 of the Red set renders "101b Franz Wagner AU, SN49, VAR" and "102b Corey Kispert AU, SN75, VAR" on the same page, and reports the distinct serial tokens on that page as SN99, SN75 and SN49 (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/341248/2021-22-Panini-Contenders-Optic---Red?PageIndex=2). cardboardconnection states the same thing in words: "Red #/75 or #/49". Writing either integer would be false for some cards and a ceiling is not a print run, so print_run and serial_numbered are both UNKNOWN and the held figures are carried in gap G-015. cardboardconnection Rookie Ticket Variation ladder, identical across two independent fetches of the page: "PARALLEL CARDS: Red Wave, Red #/75 or #/49, Blue #/35, Orange #/25, Gold #/10, Gold Wave #/10, Gold Vinyl 1/1, Printing Plates 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-contenders-optic-basketball-nba-cards) checklistcenter publishes no separate ladder for the variation set, so this ladder is SINGLE-SOURCE except where tcdb's per-row flags corroborate it (they do for Blue #/35, Orange #/25, Gold #/10, Gold Wave #/10, Gold Vinyl 1/1 and Red Wave). See gap G-016. SCOPE ESTABLISHED STRUCTURALLY, NOT BY NAME: tcdb gives every base-and-block parallel ONE sid, and its "Total Cards" header splits the ladder cleanly - Silver, 75th Anniversary, Blue Wave, Green Pulsar and Black Pandora SSP each state "100" and stop at card 100, while Red, Red Wave, Blue, Orange, Gold, Gold Wave, Gold Vinyl and the four Printing Plates each state "140" and render rows 101-140 and 101b-140b as well. That 100-versus-140 split reproduces cardboardconnection's and checklistcenter's two separate ladders exactly, and the per-row serial flags differ across the boundary under one set name (Blue is "SN99" on row 1 and "AU, SN49" on row 101; Red is unflagged on row 1 and "AU, SN99" on row 111), so the two scopes are genuinely different objects.
