- G-001 Base set parallel print runs (Artist Proof, Ruby #/149, Amethyst #/99, Pink #/99, 75th Anniversary #/75, Violet #/49, Jade #/25, Sapphire #/25, Masterpiece 1/1) are sourced from checklistcenter.com only; cardboardconnection.com and beckett.com both blocked (robots/403) so a second independent confirmation could not be obtained.
- G-002 No source publishes a numeric print run or serial-numbering scheme for Rookies I, Rookies II, or Rookies III. Only relative rarity language was found (steelcitycollectibles.com: "each subsequent version becomes progressively harder to locate"). Recorded as print_run=UNKNOWN.
- G-003 Rookies IV has no numeric print run in any source found either, only qualitative "super short-printed" language (cardsmithsbreaks.com, gogts.net). Recorded as print_run=UNKNOWN despite qualitative SSP evidence; do not infer a number.
- G-004 Distribution channel (hobby/retail/etc.) for all 9 base parallels is not stated by any source found; recorded as UNKNOWN rather than assumed hobby-exclusive. [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 9 of 9 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: count is now 74 of 74 - the channel pass resolved -65 of these with cited evidence.

- G-005 tcdb.com lists "Art Nouveau Prime" and "Art Nouveau Super Prime" as related child sets/pages (likely parallel tiers of the Art Nouveau relic insert), but card counts and their exact relationship to the base Art Nouveau 40-card insert could not be verified verbatim; omitted from sets.csv.
- G-006 rookie_flag=yes for cards 68-199 is based on the "Rookies I-IV" set naming plus a single eBay listing showing an explicit "(RC)" designation (card #166, Jonathan Kuminga); not confirmed via an official Panini checklist RC flag for every individual card.
- G-007 Card counts for Art Nouveau, Artistic Endeavors, Rookie Expression Memorabilia, Dressed to Impress, First Steps, Maestros, Works in Progress, Artistry in Motion, Contemporaries, Graffiti Greats, and Modern Strokes come from cardsmithsbreaks.com only; no second source with matching per-set counts was found.
- G-008 PARALLEL-PAGE RECOVERY LOG. Eleven cards were written from a tcdb PARALLEL page because they are absent from that set's own tcdb base checklist page. In each case sets.csv (built from checklistcenter.com/cardsmithsbreaks.com, never from tcdb) sides with the parallel, and cardboardconnection.com https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-court-kings-basketball-nba-cards independently lists the same roster and total (it renumbers coded sets 1..N so it cannot be copying tcdb's parallel pages). Brush Strokes Auto, base page https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311088/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Brush-Strokes renders 24 against sets.csv 28; recovered from Jade (sid 311089) and Pink (sid 311091), both rendering 28: BR-EGD Eric Gordon, BR-JWT James Worthy, BR-RRB Ricky Rubio, BR-SKR Steve Kerr. Fresh Paint Auto, base page sid 311106 renders 43 against sets.csv 45; recovered: FP-TMY Trey Murphy III (Jade sid 311107 and Pink sid 311109), FP-KJN Kai Jones and FP-KJN Keon Johnson (Pink only). Heir Apparent Auto, base page sid 311118 renders 43 against sets.csv 45; recovered: HA-TMY Trey Murphy III (Jade sid 311119 and Pink sid 311121), HA-KJN Kai Jones and HA-KJN Keon Johnson (Pink only). Impressionist Ink, base page sid 311132 renders 27 against sets.csv 30; recovered from Jade (sid 311133) and Pink (sid 311135), both rendering 29: II-AHF Al Horford, II-DSB Domantas Sabonis, II-KJN Kevin Johnson. Legacy Portrait Signatures, base page sid 311140 renders 9 against sets.csv 10; recovered from Jade (sid 311141) and Pink (sid 311143), both rendering 7: LP-ORB Oscar Robertson. The Brush Strokes base page was re-fetched verbatim with a second slug and returned the same 24 rows, so the shortfall is genuine absence, not truncation.
- G-009 CARDS RESTING ON A SINGLE tcdb PAGE, with no second tcdb page confirming the printed code. Written because cardboardconnection.com https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-court-kings-basketball-nba-cards independently corroborates each player's presence in the set, but the CODE itself has only one tcdb page behind it. Pink-parallel-only (absent from base and Jade): FP-KJN Kai Jones, FP-KJN Keon Johnson (Fresh Paint Auto, https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311109/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Fresh-Paint-Pink); HA-KJN Kai Jones, HA-KJN Keon Johnson (Heir Apparent Auto, https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311121/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Heir-Apparent-Pink). Base-page-only (absent from the Jade and Pink parallel pages checked): FP-JBK James Bouknight (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311106/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Fresh-Paint); HA-JBK James Bouknight (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311118/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Heir-Apparent); II-PRL Pat Riley (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311132/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Impressionist-Ink); LP-CBK Charles Barkley, LP-JMT Ja Morant, LP-SON Shaquille O'Neal (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311140/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Legacy-Portrait-Signatures). No marketplace listing carrying these specific codes was located; worth re-opening if one surfaces.
- G-010 NAMING DIFFERENCE, not a data error: tcdb.com drops the autograph word from four of our set names. Our "Award-Winning Auto" is tcdb's "Award-Winning Autographs" (sid 311084); our "Brush Strokes Auto" is tcdb's "Brush Strokes" (sid 311088); our "Fresh Paint Auto" is tcdb's "Fresh Paint" (sid 311106); our "Heir Apparent Auto" is tcdb's "Heir Apparent" (sid 311118). cardboardconnection.com https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-court-kings-basketball-nba-cards calls them "Brush Strokes Autographs", "Fresh Paint Autographs" and "Heir Apparent Autographs". sets.csv names were left untouched and every insert_cards.csv row uses our name byte for byte; recorded here so a resolver knows the aliases. Parent product page: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/304247/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings
- G-011 THREE UNCATALOGUED "Super Prime" SUBSETS ON tcdb. https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/304247/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings lists Art Nouveau Super Prime (sid 311076), Artistic Endeavors Super Prime (sid 311079) and Rookie Expression Memorabilia Super Prime (sid 311158). parallels.csv carries 3 rows named "Prime" and zero named "Super Prime", and 65 set-scoped parallel rows against tcdb's 68 set-scoped parallel subsets - the three Super Prime tiers account for the difference exactly. sets.csv notes for Art Nouveau, Artistic Endeavors and Rookie Expression Memorabilia all say "(Prime, Super Prime)", so the tier is known to exist and is simply unrecorded as a parallels.csv row. G-005 already covers the Art Nouveau pair only. parallels.csv was NOT modified - this is a report, not a fix.
- G-012 GENUINE DUPLICATE CODES, written verbatim and flagged rather than dropped (each falls on exactly two players, well under the four-player data-entry-smear threshold). HC-MJN in Holding Court Signatures is both Magic Johnson and Marques Johnson - a narrow verbatim re-fetch with a second slug https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311125/Court-Kings-2021-22-Panini-Basketball-Cards returned both rows with distinct sequential ViewCard cids 18729200 and 18729201. AN-JCL in Art Nouveau is both John Collins and Jordan Clarkson; AN-JGR is both Jalen Green and Jerami Grant (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/311075/2021-22-Panini-Court-Kings---Art-Nouveau). FP-KJN in Fresh Paint Auto and HA-KJN in Heir Apparent Auto are each both Kai Jones and Keon Johnson; cardboardconnection.com https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-court-kings-basketball-nba-cards independently lists both players in both 45-card sets, so the duplication is in the printed codes, not in tcdb's data entry.
