Notes

BASE-SET SCOPE (Season Ticket, cards 1-100). tcdb gives this tier its own sid: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/496255/x states Total Cards "100" and the set note "Partial parallel; cards #1-100 only", and renders NO serial token on rows 1-3 ("1 Fred VanVleet", "2 Zach LaVine", "3 Dejounte Murray"). PRINT RUN CALIBRATED AT SIBLING SCOPE: tcdb's "Rookies Silver" carries the set-level note "NO NOTE" (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/496168/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). UNNUMBERED IS A POSITIVE FINDING, NOT AN ABSENCE: the same tcdb renderer prints a set-level "Serial numbered to N" note and/or an SN token on every numbered tier of this ladder and prints none on this one, and both aggregator ladders print a "#/" figure on exactly the numbered tiers and none on this one.
