2021-22 Donruss

• G-001 Release date disagreement. Panini America's own blog says "Friday 02.25.2022" and gogts says "Friday, February 25, 2022"; cardsmithsbreaks says "February 24, 2022"; Beckett's pre-release article says "February 9, 2022". Recorded 2022-02-25 on the strength of the manufacturer's post. DA Card World lists later street dates for retail SKUs (mega March 29 2022, retail 24-pack box April 11 2022), so hobby and retail did not ship together.
• G-002 Base set size disagreement. checklistcenter and breakninja show base 1-200 plus Rated Rookies 201-250 (=250 cards, recorded here per the brand rule that Rated Rookies sit inside base numbering); cardsmithsbreaks states the base set is "200 cards, #1-200" and lists Rated Rookies separately. No source was found that gives an explicit "250-card base set" statement other than an eBay set listing ("Complete Card Set #1-250 Includes ALL RATED ROOKIES").
• G-003 Silver Press Proof print run is single-source. cardlines states "Silver Press Proof - /349"; checklistcenter lists Silver Press Proof with NO print run while giving print runs for Purple Press Proof (#/199) and 75th Anniversary (#/75); COMC's set name carries no serial. It is therefore unconfirmed whether 2021-22 Silver Press Proof is /349 (as in 2020-21 Donruss) or unnumbered. Recorded as 349 with source_confidence=single.
• G-004 "Choice" (unnumbered) is single-source. checklistcenter prints "Base Choice" only inside the Rated Rookies Choice parallel block; DA Card World's Choice box copy promises "Three Exclusive Parallels" but names only the numbered Choice tiers plus Choice Dragon. Existence of an unnumbered Choice parallel for base cards 1-200 is unverified.
• G-005 Choice Dragon scope unverified. Both checklistcenter and DA Card World show Dragon only for Rated Rookies ("Rated Rookies Choice Dragon"); no source shows a Dragon parallel of base cards 1-200. Row is included because Rated Rookies are treated as base cards here.
• G-006 Channel unresolved for 12 of 27 base parallels: Silver Press Proof, Purple Press Proof, 75th Anniversary, Yellow Flood (see G-009), Holo Laser /149, Holo Red and Gold Laser (see G-007), Holo Red Laser /99, Holo Light Blue Laser /60, Holo Blue Laser /49, Holo Red and Blue Laser /15, Holo Gold Laser /10 and Holo Black Laser 1/1. No consulted source states which pack/box format these come from.

• G-007 Holo Red and Gold Laser may be an Asia/Tmall exclusive rather than a domestic parallel. checklistcenter lists it ("Red/Gold") in the main Holo Laser block and TCDB carries it for this release, but an eBay listing describes a copy as "2021 Donruss Asia Holo Red and Gold Laser". Channel recorded as UNKNOWN.

• G-008 Retailer attribution for the two mega parallels is single-source (eBay listing titles only): Holo Pink Laser described as a Target mega, Holo Teal Laser described as a Walmart mega. DA Card World confirms both are "Mega Box Exclusive" but names no retailer. Channel recorded as "mega".

• G-009 Yellow Flood channel unknown. It is clearly a retail-family parallel (an eBay seller offers "Exclusive Yellow Flood Packs"), but no consulted retailer page or checklist names the pack format (hanger / cello / value / fat pack). No 2021-22 Donruss hanger-box product page was found on any consulted retailer. [REVIEWED 2026-08-17: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-17: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-17: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-17: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 12 of 27 parallels lack a sourced channel.] [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: count is now 89 of 104 - the channel pass resolved -77 of these with cited evidence.

• G-010 Naming disagreement on the Fanatics mega parallel: DA Card World and StockX print "Holo Green Ice"; checklistcenter prints "Green Ice" and places it outside the Holo Laser block. Recorded as "Holo Green Ice".
• G-011 checklistcenter labels the base-set Holo block "Holo Choice Parallels" but the identical list under Rated Rookies is labelled "Holo Laser Parallels"; eBay/TCDB/dealer catalog entries all use "Holo ... Laser". Treated the base heading as a typo and used the Laser naming throughout.
• G-012 Panini America's own preview gallery captions mention "Silver Laser" alongside Blue, Gold and Red Laser. No checklist source lists a "Holo Silver Laser"; it is probably the caption for the base Holo Laser /149. Not recorded as a separate parallel.
• G-013 Insert name disagreement: cardsmithsbreaks and breakninja print "Franchise Features"; checklistcenter renders it "Franchise Favorites". Recorded as Franchise Features (2 of 3).
• G-014 Insert/auto/memorabilia card counts come from cardsmithsbreaks and checklistcenter only; the two agree on every set, but no third source was reachable to confirm. breakninja lists the same set names but publishes no per-set counts on its index page.
• G-015 Player-name punctuation for Rated Rookies 201-250 was normalised: breakninja strips hyphens and apostrophes, so "Jeremiah Robinson Earl" and "DayRon Sharpe" were recorded as "Jeremiah Robinson-Earl" and "Day'Ron Sharpe" to match the convention used for cards 1-200. Card 222 is recorded as "JT Thor" exactly as breakninja prints it.
• G-016 rookie_flag: no source shows an explicit "RC" marker on a per-card basis for this release. 201-250 are flagged yes because every consulted source identifies them as the Rated Rookies subset and eBay catalog entries append "(RC)" to cards in that range; 1-200 are flagged no because they are the veteran run. Not a per-card verified RC designation.
• G-017 cardboardconnection.com (the spec's first-choice source) was unreachable for this release: the host is denied by this session's egress policy (gateway answered 403 to CONNECT) and WebFetch additionally reports ROBOTS_DISALLOWED. beckett.com/news was reachable but its 2021-22 Donruss article is a pre-release piece with base set size "TBA" and no parallel specifics. comc.com and tcdb.com set-index pages returned 403 / no parallel listing.
• G-018 No source consulted documents Career Stat Line, Season Stat Line or Diamond parallels for 2021-22 paper Donruss Basketball (these exist in other Donruss sports). breakninja's set index for this release shows only Base, 75th Anniversary, Choice, Holo, Press Proof and Yellow Flood families. Absence is asserted from silence, not from a positive statement.
• G-019 Duplicate printed card codes inside a single set, recorded as tcdb prints them and NOT disambiguated by us. Signature Series: "SS-KJN" for both Keon Johnson and Kai Jones, "SS-MJN" for both Major Jones and Magic Johnson, "SS-TBY" for both Thurl Bailey and Thomas Bryant. Jersey Kings: "JK-DRS" for both D'Angelo Russell and Derrick Rose. Next Day Autographs and Rookie Jersey Kings: "ND-KJN"/"RJ-KJN" for both Keon Johnson and Kai Jones. The Keon Johnson / Kai Jones collision recurs in three independent sets of this release, which argues it is genuinely printed rather than a tcdb transcription error; the others are unconfirmed. No marketplace listing was found that disambiguates either member of any pair. A resolver matching an eBay title on these codes cannot pick a single card.
• G-020 Anomalous code "SS-KGZ" recorded for Luka Garza. tcdb prints SS-KGZ on both its checklist and its pricing view for this set, so it is recorded verbatim, but the same player is "ND-LGZ" and "RJ-LGZ" in Next Day Autographs and Rookie Jersey Kings, and every other Signature Series code begins with the player's first initial (Luka Doncic is SS-LDC). SS-KGZ may be a tcdb typo for SS-LGZ. No marketplace listing for this card was found to settle it.
• G-021 Sourcing note: 16 of the 96 Signature Series rows could not be read from the tcdb checklist page, which truncates partway through the SS-S block. Their card numbers and player names come from the tcdb pricing view (https://www.tcdb.com/Prices.cfm/sid/301985/2021-22-Donruss-SignatureSeries), except Will Barton whose code SS-WBT comes from an eBay listing title. Their team assignments come from breakninja.com, which carries the correct roster but renumbers the set, so team is single-source for those 16 rows.
• G-022 Source-quality finding for future passes on this release. For the CODED sets of 2021-22 Donruss Basketball (Signature Series, Jersey Kings, Rookie Jersey Kings, Next Day Autographs) breakninja.com, cardboardconnection.com and sportscardchecklist.com all replace the printed letter codes with a sequential 1..N index AND present the cards in a different order from the printed codes: breakninja shows "1 Langston Galloway" where the printed card is SS-LGW. sportscardchecklist additionally states "96 cards" while numbering rows up to 100. None of these sites was used for card_number. The same sites DO agree with tcdb on the plain 1..N inserts (verified on Complete Players, where breakninja's 1-20 matches tcdb exactly), so they were accepted as corroboration there only.
• G-023 Rated Rookies Signatures does NOT use a letter code and is not numbered 1..49. It reuses the Rated Rookies base-card numbers 201-250, with 208 (Sharife Cooper) absent - which is exactly why the set is 49 cards and not 50. Recorded per tcdb and corroborated by sportscardspro, which lists the card as "Aaron Wiggins [Signatures] #241". Consequence: these 49 card_numbers collide with base_cards.csv 201-250, so card_number is not unique across the release and must be qualified by set. No source was found stating why Sharife Cooper is absent (presumed unreturned signature). checklistcenter renders the set name "Rated Rookie Signatures" (singular) against our "Rated Rookies Signatures".
• G-024 Uniformity check finding, investigated and accepted. Next Day Autographs (40) and Rookie Jersey Kings (40) carry an identical player roster and identical three-letter suffixes, differing only in prefix (ND- vs RJ-): both are built on the same 40-player 2021-22 rookie class and Panini reused one per-player suffix table across the release. Confirmed not to be a copy artifact by an independent verbatim re-fetch of the Rookie Jersey Kings page, which returned "RJ-UGB" Usman Garuba, "RJ-NSH" Bones Hyland and "RJ-ABT" Jared Butler - suffixes that are not derivable from the players' initials.
