AUTOGRAPH-RELIC SET: every row is flagged AU and MEM, so it is filed as `auto` per EXTRACTION_SPEC section 2.2; there is no relic value in the enum. tcdb states "Total Cards: 40" and renders 40 rows over card numbers 1-40, my own count, confirmed on THREE renderers - https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/154902/2016-17-Panini-Grand-Reserve-Cornerstones?sort=0 , https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/154902/2016-17-Panini-Grand-Reserve-Cornerstones and https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/154902/2016-17-Panini-Grand-Reserve-Cornerstones?PageIndex=1&sort=0 . Enumerated by a FULL-ROW token sweep, never a sample, per CAV-050: every rendered row's flag column was read and the DISTINCT token set recorded. THE SET IS SERIAL NUMBERED WITH A PER-CARD VARIABLE RUN AND THEREFORE CARRIES NO SINGLE PRINT RUN: the distinct token set over all 40 rows is {SN35, SN40, SN49, SN75, SN99}. sets.csv has no print_run column (section 2.2) so the finding is recorded here in words and in gap G-012. Panini's own copy states the ceiling rather than a figure: "One of those autographs in each box will hail from the unique Cornerstones Jersey Autographs insert that features veterans, rookies and legends in base (numbered to 99 or less), Quartz (numbered to 49 or less), Granite (numbered to 25 or less), Marble (numbered to 10) and Onyx 1/1 versions." (https://blog.paniniamerica.net/the-panini-america-quality-control-gallery-2016-17-grand-reserve-basketball/) - and my enumeration confirms the ceiling reading exactly, max SN99 with four lower values. blowoutbuzz agrees: the Cornerstones cards "are all limited to no more than 99 copies" (https://blowoutbuzz.wordpress.com/2017/05/16/first-buzz-2016-17-panini-grand-reserve-basketball-cards/). A three-row sample would have written a clean, sourced-looking flat 99. NAME DIVERGENCE: Panini calls it "Cornerstones Jersey Autographs" and cardboardconnection calls it "Cornerstones Quad Jersey Autographs" with "59 cards"; tcdb's own heading is "2016-17 Panini Grand Reserve - Cornerstones" and that is what is written. cc's 59 is explained arithmetically by cc folding this set and Legendary Cornerstones together (40 + 19 = 59, using tcdb's Legendary header) - see G-009.
