Notes

SET-SCOPE parallel of "Dual Jerseys", tcdb sid 178311. The distinct serial-token set was ENUMERATED, not sampled: MEM,SN10 on most rows and MEM,SN5 on two (Stephen Curry and Bradley Beal), over the 44 rows rendered against a stated Total Cards of 57 (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/178311/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Dual-Jerseys-Prime). cardboardconnection states the tier in words under this set's heading: "PARALLEL CARDS: Prime #/10 (Beal, Curry #/5*)." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-encased-basketball-nba-cards). sportscardchecklist independently lists "2017-18 Panini Encased Dual Jerseys Prime (57 Cards)" (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2017-18/index-panini-encased/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information). THE TIER IS NOT UNIFORMLY NUMBERED AND THE SCHEMA CANNOT SAY SO: two independent sources agree the run varies per card, and EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3 cannot express serial_numbered=yes with print_run=UNKNOWN, so both are UNKNOWN and the finding is carried in gaps.csv. Writing 10 here would be writing the modal token as a flat run, and cardboardconnection's own parenthetical names the exceptions. NOTE A ROSTER DIVERGENCE: this Prime tier's stated Total Cards is 57 against its parent set's 59, i.e. the Prime tier is SMALLER than the set it parallels. sportscardchecklist independently lists "Dual Jerseys Prime (57 Cards)" against "Dual Jerseys (59 Cards)". Two lineages agree. Recorded in gaps.csv. Stated explicitly because encased-bkb-2018-19 met the opposite shape - a Prime tier LARGER than its parent - so tier size is not predictable from the parent in either direction on this line. 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.
