2024-25 Court Kings

• G-001 cardboardconnection.com returned a base-parallel list (Acetate Parallel, Ruby /149, Sapphire /75, Amethyst /49, Emerald /25, Holographic Gold /10, Platinum One-of-One) that conflicts entirely with three mutually-consistent independent sources (checklistinsider.com, cardsmithsbreaks.com, gogts.net all agree on Ruby /149, Pink /99, Amber /75, Violet /49, Sapphire /25, Gold /10, Masterpiece 1/1). cardboardconnection.com is a known-unreliable/often-blocked source for Panini pages, and live proxy logs during this session showed 403 CONNECT rejections to that domain. Excluded cardboardconnection's parallel list entirely as likely fabricated/unreliable; not used anywhere in parallels.csv.
• G-002 Red & Blue parallel: checklistinsider.com and gogts.net describe one combined parallel ("Red & Blue" / "Red and Blue"); cardsmithsbreaks.com instead lists two separate unnumbered Hobby Exclusive parallels, "Red" and "Blue". Recorded as one combined row (majority, 2 of 3 sources) in parallels.csv; true structure (one parallel or two) unconfirmed.
• G-003 Burgundy /125, Jade /25, and Obsidian /8 appear only on checklistinsider.com and are not corroborated by cardsmithsbreaks.com or gogts.net. Jade /25 in particular duplicates the print run of the more widely-confirmed Sapphire /25 parallel, raising the possibility of a checklistinsider listing error. Recorded as single-source in parallels.csv.
• G-004 No source found states a numeric print run, or an explicit "unnumbered" designation, for the base tier (1-100) or any of the five Rookies tiers (I, II, III, IV, 0) as base cards. Only the cross-cutting parallels (Ruby, Pink, etc., which apply across the whole 1-265 checklist) carry stated print runs. Rookies 0 is described only qualitatively as "super short print (SSP)" with no serial number given. Recorded print_run=UNKNOWN (not "unnumbered") for all 6 rows in base_card_tiers.csv per the hard rule distinguishing confirmed-unnumbered from unknown.
• G-005 Channel of the base/rookie tiers is unclear. cardsmithsbreaks.com's hobby-box breakdown implies Rookies I through 0 all appear in hobby boxes (2 Rookies I, 1 of Rookies II/III/IV/0 combined per box), but checklistinsider.com separately describes an "acetate" version of Rookies IV as exclusive to International Blaster boxes, and there is also a distinct "Acetate Rookies" insert set (33 cards) that may or may not be the same product. Recorded channel=UNKNOWN for all 6 tiers rather than guess.

• G-006 Card counts for 7 insert sets (Dressed to Impress, First Steps, La Cinque Piu Belle, Modern Strokes, Paint by Numbers, State of the Art, Water Color) were not stated by any source checked (checklistinsider.com, cardsmithsbreaks.com, gogts.net, blog.paniniamerica.net). Recorded as UNKNOWN card_count in sets.csv.
• G-007 beckett.com (403), cardboardconnection.com (403/unreliable, see G-001), and blowoutcards.com's blog (Incapsula block page, no content) could not be used. Relied on checklistinsider.com, cardsmithsbreaks.com, gogts.net, tcdb.com, and blog.paniniamerica.net instead, per the alternate-source list in the task prompt.
• G-008 Card-level checklists for SSP insert sets Paint by Numbers, State of the Art, and La Cinque Piu Belle were not found on any source checked; checklistinsider.com explicitly states these are only named as "returning SSPs" without a card-by-card list. Omitted from ssp_cards.csv rather than guessed.
• G-009 4 memorabilia/relic sets (Art Nouveau, Artistic Endeavors, Debut Showcase Memorabilia, Rookie Swatches) are recorded as set_type=insert in sets.csv because the schema only allows base|insert|auto and has no dedicated relic/memorabilia category.
• G-010 base_cards.csv (cards 1-265, i.e. the veteran base 1-100 and the 33-name rookie roster repeated across the 5 rookie tiers) is sourced primarily from checklistinsider.com. Only cards 1-10 were independently cross-checked against tcdb.com (exact match found). The rest of the veteran checklist and the rookie roster are single-source at the individual-card level, though every name/team pairing checked is consistent with actual 2024-25 NBA rosters and the real 2024 NBA draft class.
• G-011 Brush Strokes: 28 of 30 cards written. tcdb stores the LITERAL STRING 'TBD' in the card-number column for two cards, so their printed numbers are unresolved. ROSTER KNOWN, NUMBERS NOT PUBLISHED - the two withheld players are RUSSELL WESTBROOK (Denver Nuggets; tcdb base page https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/501854/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings, ViewCard cid 28579812) and JULIUS RANDLE (New York Knicks; appears only on the Jade https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/501856/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings---Brush-Strokes-Jade and Obsidian sid 501858 parallel pages, also as 'TBD'). Both are confirmed set members by https://cardsmithsbreaks.com/full-checklist/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball/ whose 30-name roster matches tcdb's 30 rows exactly. Should resolve free on a later pass once tcdb or a seller title publishes the BR- codes.
• G-012 Fresh Paint: 44 of 45 cards written. tcdb stores the literal string 'TBD' for one card. ROSTER KNOWN, NUMBER NOT PUBLISHED - the withheld player is ENRIQUE FREEMAN (Indiana Pacers), present as 'TBD' on the Jade (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/501888/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings---Fresh-Paint-Jade) and Obsidian (sid 501890) parallel pages and absent entirely from the base page (sid 501886). Confirmed a set member by https://cardsmithsbreaks.com/full-checklist/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball/ (45/45 name match with the parallel pages).
• G-013 Heir Apparent: 43 of 45 cards written. Two cards are not catalogued on tcdb at all - the base page (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/501894/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings---Heir-Apparent) and ALL SEVEN parallel tiers (Amber 501895, Jade 501896, Masterpiece 501897, Obsidian 501898, Ruby 501899, Sapphire 501900, Violet 501901) each render 43 rows, and Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=5 on the Jade tier returns only 3 cards (indices 41-43), confirming 43 is the real rendered total and not a Checklist.cfm truncation. tcdb's OWN header on Jade and Obsidian claims 45, agreeing with sets.csv. ROSTER KNOWN, NUMBERS NOT PUBLISHED - the two withheld players are ANTONIO REEVES (New Orleans Pelicans) and ENRIQUE FREEMAN (Indiana Pacers), identified by diffing tcdb's 43 names against the 45-name roster at https://cardsmithsbreaks.com/full-checklist/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball/ (tcdb's 43 is a strict subset; those two are the only additions). Their HA- codes were not derived and not written.
• G-014 Impressionist Ink: 28 of 29 cards written. tcdb stores the literal string 'TBD' for one card. ROSTER KNOWN, NUMBER NOT PUBLISHED - the withheld player is ANTONIO REEVES (New Orleans Pelicans), present as 'TBD' on the Jade (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/501904/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings---Impressionist-Ink-Jade) and Obsidian (sid 501906) parallel pages. Note the base+parallel UNION is 29 and matches sets.csv exactly: the base page (sid 501902, 27 rows) has II-GID Josh Giddey which the parallels lack, and the parallels have II-POR Kristaps Porzingis plus the TBD Reeves row which the base page lacks - neither page alone is authoritative. The 29-name union is corroborated exactly by https://cardsmithsbreaks.com/full-checklist/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball/.
• G-015 Artistic Endeavors: 20 cards written against a sets.csv card_count of 25 - and the evidence says 20 is right and the 25 is a propagated header miscount. Every rendered list found is 20: tcdb base https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/501842/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings---Artistic-Endeavors (20), tcdb Masterpiece sid 501844 (20), tcdb Sapphire sid 501845 (20), tcdb Gold sid 501843 (18), and https://www.checklistinsider.com/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball (20, same 20 players). checklistinsider's OWN section header reads verbatim 'Artistic Endeavors Relics Checklist / 25 cards.' above a list of 20 entries - the aggregator-header-lie pattern, and the likely origin of the 25 in sets.csv, whose note records checklistinsider as its only source. sets.csv NOT altered. If 5 further cards do exist, NOTHING IS CATALOGUED for them anywhere checked - no roster, no numbers.
• G-016 Two subsets of this release are catalogued on tcdb under the correct parent (sid 486727) but have NO row in sets.csv, so no cards were written for them and no set row was created: SELF EXPRESSION (sid 501939, tcdb header 30 cards, plus six parallels Gold 501940 / Masterpiece 501941 / Pink 501942 / Ruby 501943 / Sapphire 501944 / Violet 501945) and WORKS IN PROGRESS (sid 501954, tcdb header 30 cards, plus six parallels Gold 501955 / Masterpiece 501956 / Pink 501957 / Ruby 501958 / Sapphire 501959 / Violet 501960). A third, ROOKIES IV ACETATE (sid 501938), appears to be a base-tier variant rather than an insert set and likewise has no sets.csv row. Verify these against https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/486727/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings before deciding whether they belong in sets.csv.
• G-017 Cards resting on a SINGLE tcdb page with no independent corroborating source, logged per spec. Whole sets: Dressed to Impress (10), First Steps (10), La Cinque Piu Belle (5), Modern Strokes (30), Paint by Numbers (25), State of the Art (10), Water Color (30), Art Nouveau (25), Debut Showcase Memorabilia (30), Rookie Swatches (25), Legacy Portrait Signatures (10) = 210 rows. Partial: Double Exposure cards 15-30 (16 rows; checklistinsider's rendering of that section stopped at 14 and matched tcdb exactly for 1-14). checklistinsider.com names but publishes no card list for the first seven; cardsmithsbreaks.com carries no list for the memorabilia or Legacy Portrait sets. Four individual card_numbers rest on the tcdb PARALLEL pages only (absent from their own base page): Fresh Paint FP-REE, Impressionist Ink II-POR, Masterstrokes MS-RUD and MS-WIG - each appears on both the Jade and Obsidian tiers, and each player is independently confirmed a set member by cardsmithsbreaks.com, but the code itself has one source.
• G-018 Extends G-006. Seven insert sets recorded card_count=UNKNOWN in sets.csv now have a card count rendered by tcdb and written row-for-row here: Dressed to Impress 10 (sid 501873), First Steps 10 (sid 501879), La Cinque Piu Belle 5 (sid 501910), Modern Strokes 30 (sid 501926), Paint by Numbers 25 (sid 501932), State of the Art 10 (sid 501946), Water Color 30 (sid 501947). Each figure is single-source (tcdb) and was NOT written back to sets.csv, which this pass must not modify. Source: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/486727/2024-25-Panini-Court-Kings and the per-set Checklist.cfm pages.
• G-019 Set-name discrepancies between our sets.csv and the sources, recorded rather than resolved; our names were used byte for byte. tcdb titles our 'Paint by Numbers' as 'Paint by Number' (singular, sid 501932). tcdb drops qualifiers our names also drop. checklistinsider.com ADDS qualifiers our names do not carry: 'Artistic Endeavors Relics', 'Impressionist Ink Autographs', 'Brush Strokes Autographs', 'Heir Apparent Autographs' (https://www.checklistinsider.com/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball). No sets.csv row was renamed.
• G-020 Source calibration for this pass, run PER SET TYPE. tcdb.com Checklist.cfm: used for every card_number. checklistinsider.com (https://www.checklistinsider.com/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball): PASSES on plain 1..N inserts - reproduces Artistry in Motion 30/30 and Acetate Rookies 33/33 number-for-number against tcdb with zero deviation - and FAILS on coded sets on the SAME PAGE, printing Artistic Endeavors as 1..20 where the cards read AE-ALX ... AE-ZNW. Roster-only for coded sets. cardsmithsbreaks.com: FAILS on coded sets (prints Brush Strokes as 1..30 where the cards read BR-AJJ ... BR-SUN) and carries no plain-insert lists at all on this release, so it could not be calibrated on that type; used for ROSTERS only, where it matched tcdb exactly on Brush Strokes 30/30, Fresh Paint 45/45, Heir Apparent 45/43+2, Masterstrokes 39/39 and Impressionist Ink 29/29. cardboardconnection.com (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2024-25-panini-court-kings-basketball-set-review-and-checklist): page EXISTS for this release, unlike 2023-24, but publishes no card-by-card checklist for any set requested - unusable, consistent with G-001. MARKETPLACE: eBay /itm/205624942150 was DISCARDED as circular - its title 'Rookie Swatches Jared McCain #RJS-JMC (MEM, RC)' carries the tcdb flag string '(MEM, RC)'. Two /itm/ titles were accepted as genuine seller free text with no tcdb fingerprint: https://www.ebay.com/itm/357884570019 'Ja Morant 2024-25 Panini Court Kings Artistry In Motion Obsidian /8 #6 PSA 10' (confirms the plain ordinal regime: tcdb Artistry in Motion #6 is Ja Morant) and https://www.ebay.com/itm/117359347024 '2024 Panini Court Kings Cade Cunningham #MSCUN /25 Masterstrokes Auto PSA 9' (confirms the MS- prefix and CUN suffix; seller dropped the hyphen, so this corroborates the scheme rather than the exact token). eBay /p/ pages were not used.
