Notes

SET-SCOPE parallel of "Scripted Signatures", tcdb sid 178331. The distinct serial-token set was ENUMERATED over the whole tier, not sampled: AU,SN1 and nothing else on the 43 rows rendered against a stated Total Cards of 45 (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/178331/2017-18-Panini-Encased-Scripted-Signatures-Platinum). cardboardconnection states the same figure 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). 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 45 where its parent set is 46, i.e. the Platinum tier is one card SHORT of the set it parallels. sportscardchecklist independently lists "2017-18 Panini Encased Scripted Signatures Platinum (45 Cards)" against "Scripted Signatures (46 Cards)", so two lineages agree. Recorded in gaps.csv; the print run is unaffected. 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.
