2022-23 Court Kings

• G-001 Fresh Paint Auto card count disagreement: cardsmithsbreaks.com states 44 cards, checklistcenter.com states 45 cards. Recorded 44 (cardsmithsbreaks.com) as primary; no third source resolved the tie.
• G-002 Heir Apparent Auto card count disagreement: cardsmithsbreaks.com states 44 cards, checklistcenter.com states 45 cards. Recorded 44 (cardsmithsbreaks.com) as primary; no third source resolved the tie.
• G-003 Masterstrokes Auto card count disagreement: cardsmithsbreaks.com states 39 cards, checklistcenter.com states 40 cards. Recorded 39 (cardsmithsbreaks.com) as primary; no third source resolved the tie.
• G-004 No source explicitly states whether the unparalleled base/tier cards (1-199) carry a serial number or not. print_run recorded as UNKNOWN for all 5 tiers rather than 'unnumbered', per the anti-fabrication instruction to only use 'unnumbered' with direct confirming evidence. serial_numbered was set to 'no' based on the indirect but consistent pattern that every checklist source annotates parallels (Ruby #/149, Amethyst #/99, etc.) with an explicit print-run figure while never doing so for the base/tier card itself.
• G-005 Rookies IV is repeatedly called 'SUPER SHORT-PRINTED' (cardsmithsbreaks.com, checklistcenter.com, gogts.net, dacardworld.com, steelcitycollectibles.com) but no source publishes a numeric print run for it, nor does any source suggest Rookies I-III carry a different (or any) numeric print run from Rookies IV. Unlike the addendum's hypothetical (Level I unnumbered, Level IV /99), 2022-23 Court Kings tiers appear to differ only in a qualitative SSP label for Rookies IV, not in a documented numeric print run per tier.
• G-006 Distribution channel (hobby/retail/blaster/mega) is not stated by any source for any of the 9 base parallels (Artist Proof, Stealth, Ruby, Amethyst, Pink, Violet, Jade, Sapphire, Masterpiece). Recorded as UNKNOWN rather than assumed. [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 72 of 72 - the channel pass resolved -63 of these with cited evidence.

• G-007 No stated pull odds (numeric, e.g. '1:X packs') were found for any base parallel in this release from any source consulted, including retailer product pages and Panini's own blog. Consistent with the general note that Panini does not publish numeric odds sheets for basketball products; file left with header only.
• G-008 cardboardconnection.com (ROBOTS_DISALLOWED / DNS error) and beckett.com (403 client error) were both inaccessible for this release, removing two of the primary recommended sources; all findings here rely on cardsmithsbreaks.com, checklistcenter.com, gogts.net, dacardworld.com, steelcitycollectibles.com, diamondcardsonline.com, thehobby.com.au and tcdb.com instead.
• G-009 Rookies II (101-133) and Rookies III (134-166) player order was confirmed only via checklistcenter.com (single source); Rookies IV (167-199) order was confirmed only via cardsmithsbreaks.com (single source). Rookies I (68-100) order was independently confirmed by both sources and matches. Indirect corroboration: the same 33-player name set recurs in every tier, and Rookies I order matches across both sources, giving reasonable confidence in the other tiers, but the exact card-to-name mapping for Rookies II/III/IV is technically single-sourced.
• G-010 Blank Slate's 'super short-printed' tier designation was found only on thehobby.com.au (single source: "super short-printed and popular Blank Slate insert"); other sources list Blank Slate without an SSP tag. Card count (30) itself is multi-sourced and undisputed.
• G-011 rookie_flag=yes for cards 68-199 is based on the explicit 'Rookies I'/'Rookies II'/'Rookies III'/'Rookies IV' tier naming used by every source, not on a per-card 'RC' logo confirmation from a scan of the physical card.
• G-012 tcdb's BASE checklist page is SHORT on five of this release's six coded autograph sets, and the missing cards were recovered from the set's own Masterpiece (1/1) parallel page, whose row count matches sets.csv exactly in every case. Brush Strokes base sid 360211 renders 26 vs Masterpiece sid 360213 = 30 (sets.csv 30; recovered BR-BHI Buddy Hield, BR-CWC Coby White, BR-KJS Keldon Johnson, BR-MPD Michael Porter Jr.). Fresh Paint base sid 360229 renders 43 vs Masterpiece sid 360231 = 44 (sets.csv 44; recovered FP-PBG Patrick Baldwin Jr.). Heir Apparent base sid 360236 renders 43 vs Masterpiece sid 360238 = 44 (sets.csv 44; recovered HA-PBW Patrick Baldwin Jr.). Impressionist Ink base sid 360243 renders 25 vs Masterpiece sid 360245 = 29 (sets.csv 29; recovered II-IIP Isaiah Jackson, II-KJ Keldon Johnson, II-MDN Michael Porter Jr., II-RMT Rudy Gobert). Masterstrokes base sid 360262 renders 38 vs Masterpiece sid 360264 = 39 (sets.csv 39; recovered MS-KMB Khris Middleton). This is RECOVERY, not parallel scope: sets.csv (built without ever fetching tcdb) sides with the parallel page in all five cases, and cardboardconnection.com independently lists exactly the same rosters (30/44/44/29/39 players) including every recovered player. The other colour tiers checked (Jade, Pink, Ruby, Sapphire, Violet) render SHORT of Masterpiece on all five sets and are genuine parallel scope; unioning them added nothing beyond Masterpiece. Recorded so a later pass knows these 11 card numbers rest on ONE tcdb page each (the Masterpiece parallel), corroborated for roster only.
• G-013 SOURCE CONFLICT on one card number, Fresh Paint Auto / Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons). tcdb's Fresh Paint BASE page (sid 360229) renders FP-JDD, and its own page-derived ViewCard href confirms it: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/360229/cid/21295728/2022-23-Panini-Court-Kings-Fresh-Paint-FP-JDD-Jalen-Duren . All SIX Fresh Paint parallel pages (Jade 360230, Masterpiece 360231, Pink 360232, Ruby 360233, Sapphire 360234, Violet 360235) instead render FP-JID for the same card, which would make it a duplicate of Jaden Ivey's FP-JID. The base-page token FP-JDD was written. No free-text marketplace seller title carrying either code for this card could be found (eBay and comc searches returned only base-set and other-product Duren cards). The base row's out-of-alphabetical display position was checked and is a cid artifact, not a placeholder signal: cids run strictly sequentially in display order (FP-JHD 21295726, FP-JID Jaden Ivey 21295727, FP-JDD Jalen Duren 21295728, FP-JJU 21295729). One of the two tcdb tokens is wrong and nothing available settles which.
• G-014 Card-count disagreements G-001, G-002 and G-003 now have independent supporting evidence for the cardsmithsbreaks.com figure that sets.csv recorded, from two sources not consulted when those gaps were opened. Fresh Paint Auto: tcdb's Masterpiece parallel (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/360231/2022-23-Panini-Court-Kings-Fresh-Paint-Masterpiece) renders exactly 44 rows and cardboardconnection.com lists exactly 44 distinct players - supporting 44, not checklistcenter.com's 45. Heir Apparent Auto: tcdb Masterpiece sid 360238 renders 44 and cardboardconnection lists 44 players - supporting 44, not 45. Masterstrokes Auto: tcdb Masterpiece sid 360264 renders 39 and cardboardconnection lists 39 players - supporting 39, not 40. NOTE the near-miss: cardboardconnection's own section headers self-report '45', '45' and '39' while its rendered rosters contain 44, 44 and 39 entries; the rows were counted by hand rather than trusting the header, which is where checklistcenter.com's 45 may also originate. sets.csv was NOT modified; this gap records the corroboration so a later pass can close G-001/G-002/G-003 deliberately.
• G-015 Every card_number written for this release's nine CODED sets (Brush Strokes Auto BR-, Fresh Paint Auto FP-, Heir Apparent Auto HA-, Impressionist Ink Auto II-, Legacy Portrait Signatures LP-, Masterstrokes Auto MS-, Art Nouveau Relics AN-, Artistic Endeavors AE-, Rookie Expression Memorabilia REM-) rests on tcdb.com alone. cardboardconnection.com was calibrated per set type and FAILS for coded sets - it renumbers every one of them 1..N on its own page - so it corroborates only WHO is in each set, never what is printed. Independent free-text marketplace confirmation was obtained for exactly two codes: FP-DRM David Roddy (https://www.ebay.com/itm/387451346536) and FP-MBS Malaki Branham (https://www.ebay.com/itm/364525009814). A third candidate carrying FP-KMS Keegan Murray was DISCARDED as tcdb-seeded because the title carries tcdb's flag string '(AU, RC)'. The remaining 289 coded numbers are single-sourced to tcdb.
• G-016 Naming divergence between tcdb and our sets.csv, recorded rather than acted on. tcdb drops the qualifier our rows carry on six sets: tcdb 'Brush Strokes' = our 'Brush Strokes Auto'; 'Fresh Paint' = 'Fresh Paint Auto'; 'Heir Apparent' = 'Heir Apparent Auto'; 'Impressionist Ink' = 'Impressionist Ink Auto'; 'Masterstrokes' = 'Masterstrokes Auto'; 'Art Nouveau' = 'Art Nouveau Relics'. tcdb also cases one set differently: tcdb 'Paint by Number' vs our 'Paint By Number'. Our names were used byte for byte in insert_cards.csv and tcdb's are noted in each row's notes. Separately, tcdb's Inserts.cfm for parent sid 352168 (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/352168/2022-23-Panini-Court-Kings) lists three Super Prime memorabilia parallels as their own sids - Art Nouveau Super Prime 360202, Artistic Endeavors Super Prime 360205, Rookie Expression Memorabilia Super Prime 360276 - while parallels.csv carries only 'Prime' for those three parents (sets.csv notes do mention 'Prime, Super Prime'). That is a parallels.csv question, not an insert_cards.csv one, and was not acted on.
• G-017 tcdb sid regime for this release, recorded so a later pass does not re-derive it. Parent sid 352168 ('2022-23 Panini Court Kings', header Total Cards 199). The PARENT-SID CHECK IS NEGATIVE for a fourth consecutive season on this line: the parent's Total Cards (199) equals release.csv base_set_size (199) and sets.csv Base Set card_count (199), so no autograph or insert block is hidden inside the parent checklist. All 98 subsets occupy ONE CONTIGUOUS BLOCK, sids 360190-360287 (9 base parallels 360190-360198, then 89 insert/insert-parallel sids 360199-360287), with NO numeric gaps to probe. Boundaries were probed with ViewSet.cfm: sid 360189 resolves to a DIFFERENT product ('2023 Upper Deck Marvel Anime Vol. 2', 100 cards), and sids 360288 and 360290 redirect to the tcdb homepage (exist but render nothing). Every one of the 23 non-base sets in sets.csv was found under this parent; no set had to be sought under a sibling parent, and no uncatalogued 2022-23 Court Kings subset was found outside the block.
