the Rookie Notable Signatures set

Notes

SET-SCOPE parallel of "Rookie Notable Signatures", which is one of the three sets making up the contiguous 101-190 rookie autograph block filed inside the parent checklist with no sid of its own. tcdb gives this tier no sid either: it is part of the same 190-row colour sid as the base-set parallel of the same name, and the DISTINCT SERIAL-TOKEN SET OVER ALL 190 OF THAT SID'S ROWS IS EXACTLY "SN1" (rows 101-190 render "AU, SN1"), enumerated at rows 1-80 at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/178307/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Platinum?PageIndex=1, rows 81-90 and 91-100 at https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178307/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Platinum?PageIndex=9 and https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178307/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Platinum?PageIndex=10, rows 101-179 at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/178307/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Platinum?PageIndex=2, and rows 171-180 / 181-190 at https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178307/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Platinum?PageIndex=18 and https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/178307/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Platinum?PageIndex=19 . Because the token is uniform across the WHOLE block, the print run holds for this set whichever sub-range of 101-190 it occupies, and the block's internal boundaries are NOT asserted anywhere in this release. cardboardconnection states the ladder in words under this set's own heading: "PARALLEL CARDS: Red #/25, Gold #/10, Green #/5, Platinum 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-encased-basketball-nba-cards), and sportscardchecklist lists the tier as a set of its own, "2017-18 Panini Encased Rookie Notable Signatures Platinum (20 Cards)" (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2017-18/index-panini-encased/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information). Three lineages. DIVERGENCE FROM THE SIBLING SEASON, DELIBERATE: encased-bkb-2018-19 met the same one-sid-spans-two-scopes shape and declined to write the block-side tiers at all, recording them in its gaps instead. That is written up in this release's 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.
