Notes

BASE-SET SCOPE (Season Ticket, cards 1-100). tcdb catalogues this tier under the parent's "Parallel Sets" heading, whose members Inserts.cfm never delivers (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/461491/2023-24-Panini-Contenders-Optic renders 160 of its stated "Insert Sets (177)" and stops before the Parallel Sets heading), so this tier's own tcdb sid could not be reached - see gap G-008. PRINT RUN CALIBRATED AT SIBLING SCOPE: tcdb's "Rookies International Black and White" carries the set-level note "Serial numbered to 25" (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/496178/x), which is the same value this tier carries in the Base ladder. checklistinsider states the Base Season Ticket parallel ladder as "Black Pandora; International Red; Red; Silver; Blue /99; Pink /75; Orange /49; International Blue /45; Green Pulsar /25; International Black & White /25; Cracked Ice /23; Purple FOTL /18; Purple /15; Gold /10; International Gold /10; International Jade Cracked Ice /5; Black FOTL /3; Gold Lazer /2; Gold Vinyl 1/1; International Red Pandora 1/1; Printing Plates 1/1" (https://www.checklistinsider.com/2023-24-panini-contenders-optic-basketball) and checklistcenter states it as "Black Pandora; Red; Silver; Blue #/99; Pink #/75; Orange #/49; Green Pulsar #/25; Cracked Ice #/23; Purple FOTL #/18; Purple #/15; Gold #/10; Black FOTL #/3; Gold Lazer #/2; Gold Vinyl 1/1; Printing Plates 1/1" (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2023-24-panini-contenders-optic-basketball-card-checklist/); the two agree on every tier both carry and checklistinsider additionally carries the six International tiers. EVERY FIGURE IN THAT LADDER WAS CALIBRATED AGAINST tcdb AT THE SIBLING "Rookies" SCOPE, WHERE TCDB GIVES EVERY TIER ITS OWN SID AND STATES THE RUN IN A SET-LEVEL NOTE - 21 OF 21 ENTRIES MATCH AND NONE FAILED (see gap G-009). REGIONAL TIER: the 2023-24 International Hobby Box product page states "Search for a wide range of new exclusive parallels for Season Ticket and Rookies sets in International Red, International Blue (#'d/45), International Black and White (#'d/25), International Gold (#'d/10), International Jade Cracked Ice (#'d/5) and International Red Pandora (One-of-One)!" (https://www.schkstore.com/products/2023-24-contenders-optic-basketball-international-hobby-box) - naming the Season Ticket (base) set explicitly. Marketplace corroboration at base scope: an eBay listing titled "2023-24 Panini Contenders Optic - Season Ticket Kawhi Leonard #66 International Blue Prizm /45" (https://www.ebay.com/itm/156937039875); card 66 is Kawhi Leonard in this release's base checklist, a positional match.
