Notes

tcdb models Retail as ONE sid, 176265, "Total Cards: 240", spanning BOTH the 1-200 base run and the 201-240 Rookie Autos block, so this set-scope row and the base-set Retail row rest on the same sid at two different scopes. https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/176265/2017-18-Panini-Essentials-Retail?PageIndex=3 renders the 37 rows numbered 201-240 (222, 227 and 239 absent) carrying AU and NO SN TOKEN, where the Hobby parent renders the identical 37 rows as "AU, SN99". THE ABSENCE HERE IS A WITHIN-SID DISCRIMINATIVE RESULT, the strongest form available: this sid's flag column is demonstrably not empty - it renders RC on base rows and AU on these - so its lack of SN is informative rather than bare. tcdb states it in words as well, in its own Notes line for this sid: "Printed on thin stock, except for rookie autographs which are thick stock but are NOT serially numbered." (read on https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/171362/2017-18-Panini-Essentials and reproduced on https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/176265/essentials-retail-second-probe). checklistcenter independently states the parallel EXISTS - "Rookie Autos Set - 37 Cards - Serial Numbered #/99 with Retail parallels" at https://www.checklistcenter.com/2017-18-panini-essentials/ - but says nothing about its numbering, so the non-numbering value has ONE source and source_confidence is single.
