CARD COUNT CONTESTED ACROSS THREE FIGURES AND RECONCILED, NOT MERGED. (a) tcdb's OWN header on this sid states "Total Cards: 25" on two differently-parameterised fetches and is contradicted by tcdb's own rows: Checklist.cfm?sort=0 renders 51 rows spanning 1-76 and ViewSet.cfm renders rows to 80. (b) tcdb's own PARALLEL pages state "Total Cards: 96" - Elite Signatures Green (sid 141033) and Elite Signatures Black (sid 141034) - which is the CAV-044 remedy applied: open a parallel page of the same product before believing a parent header. (c) cardboardconnection states "96 cards." (d) DA Card World states "Elite Signatures features a checklist of 100 players with every card sequentially #'d/99 or less." RECONCILIATION: Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=10 offers pages 1-10 and renders SIX tiles (94, 95, 97, 98, 99, 100), so the numbering SPAN is 1-100 while four numbers in it are not rendered - 96 issued cards inside a 100-wide span. That makes (b), (c) and (d) all true of different units, exactly the 2017-18 National Treasures shape, and leaves only tcdb's own 25 unexplained. 96 is written. Note "#'d/99 or less" is a CEILING and is NOT written as a print run anywhere (EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3). PER-CARD VARIABLE RUN: the distinct token set is {AU, SN99, SN25, SN49}.

This set has a recorded count of 96, but the card-by-card checklist is not yet in the catalogue. That's an open research question, not a statement that no checklist exists. If you know a source that documents it, tell us — a pointer to one is exactly what closes these.
