Notes

SET-SCOPE parallel of "Perfect 10", tcdb sid 178324. The distinct serial-token set was ENUMERATED over the whole tier, not sampled: AU,SN1 and nothing else on all 8 rendered rows against a stated Total Cards of 8 (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/178324/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Perfect-10-Platinum). cardboardconnection states the same figure in words under this set's heading: "PARALLEL CARDS: Red #/25, Gold #/10, Green #/5, Platinum 1/1 (No Giannis*)." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-encased-basketball-nba-cards). sportscardchecklist independently lists the tier as its own set (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2017-18/index-panini-encased/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information). NOTE A ROSTER DIVERGENCE, NOT A PRINT-RUN ONE: this tier's stated Total Cards is 8 where its parent set is 9. cardboardconnection says why in its own parallel line - "Platinum 1/1 (No Giannis*)" - and the tcdb page renders eight players with no Giannis Antetokounmpo, while the Green tier of the same set does render him. sportscardchecklist independently lists "Perfect 10 Platinum (8 Cards)". Three lineages agree; recorded in gaps.csv. 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.
