the full 100-card base set of 2017-18 Encased

Notes

BASE-SET-SCOPE parallel of cards 1-100. THE DISTINCT SERIAL-TOKEN SET WAS ENUMERATED OVER EVERY ONE OF THE SID'S 190 ROWS, NOT SAMPLED: tcdb prints "SN10" and nothing else on every row. Read at rows 1-76 at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Gold?PageIndex=1 (corroborated on rows 1-60 by https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Gold), rows 71-80 / 81-90 / 91-100 at https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Gold?PageIndex=8 , https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Gold?PageIndex=9 and https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Gold?PageIndex=10, rows 101-176 at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Basketball-Gold?PageIndex=2 , and rows 171-180 / 181-190 at https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Gold?PageIndex=18 and https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178305/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Gold?PageIndex=19 . cardboardconnection states the ladder in words under its Base Set Checklist heading: "PARALLEL CARDS: Red #/25, Gold #/10, Green #/5, Platinum 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-encased-basketball-nba-cards), which agrees with the token on all four tiers. ONE tcdb SID SPANS FOUR OF OUR SETS. This colour has a single sid whose stated Total Cards is "190" - the whole parent, i.e. the 100-card base run PLUS the 101-190 rookie autograph block - so the same sid is the source for this release's base-set-scope row AND for its Rookie Endorsements, Rookie Scripted Signatures and Rookie Notable Signatures rows. THE RUN DOES NOT CHANGE ACROSS THAT BOUNDARY IN 2017-18: the distinct serial-token set over all 190 rows is exactly one token. That is the OPPOSITE of what encased-bkb-2018-19 measured on the same line one season later, where the Red sid prints SN35 on cards 1-100 and SN25 from 101 on; nothing was carried across the season boundary and the whole run was re-enumerated here. sportscardchecklist independently decomposes the same 190 into "2017-18 Panini Encased Red (100 Cards)" plus "Rookie Endorsements Red (40 Cards)", "Rookie Scripted Signatures Red (30 Cards)" and "Rookie Notable Signatures Red (20 Cards)" - 100+40+30+20 = 190 - and does the same for Gold, Green and Platinum (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2017-18/index-panini-encased/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information), which is a third lineage confirming both the decomposition and the per-set scoping used here. CHANNEL: no source found asserts channel EXCLUSIVITY for this product, so channel_basis is sourced-presence and not sourced-exclusive (CAV-010). cardboardconnection prints "Each Hobby box contains two autographs and two memorabilia cards, and one of the signed cards is professionally graded." and "Product Configuration: 5 cards per pack, 1 pack per box, 8 boxes per case" (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-encased-basketball-nba-cards); gogts.net says only "hitting stores". No retail, blaster, mega or FOTL SKU was found anywhere for 2017-18 Encased, and no row in this release claims sourced-exclusive.
