Notes

SET-SCOPE parallel of "Endorsements", tcdb sid 178318. THE TIER IS NOT UNIFORMLY NUMBERED AND THE SCHEMA CANNOT SAY SO. The distinct serial-token set was ENUMERATED, not sampled: AU,SN25 on 34 rows and AU,SN15 on 12, over all 46 rendered rows against a stated Total Cards of 46 (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/178318/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Endorsements-Red). cardboardconnection independently states the same variability in words under this set's heading: "PARALLEL CARDS: Red #/25 or #/15, Gold #/10, Green #/5, Platinum 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-encased-basketball-nba-cards). Two independent sources therefore agree the run varies per card, which is exactly the state EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3 says the CSV cannot carry (serial_numbered=yes with print_run=UNKNOWN is not expressible), so print_run and serial_numbered are both UNKNOWN and the finding is carried in gaps.csv. Writing 25 here would be writing the modal token as a flat run. sportscardchecklist lists the tier at "2017-18 Panini Encased Endorsements Red (46 Cards)" (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2017-18/index-panini-encased/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information). 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.
