Open questions · 12show
- G-003 Parallel naming is inconsistent across sources. checklistinsider prints "Silver Glitter Holiday" and "Green Plaid"; checklistcenter/chasingmajors print "Glitter Holiday" and "Plaid"; topps.com and dacardworld (Topps sell-sheet copy) print "Base Holiday Glitter" and "Holiday Plaid". Recorded using the checklist-site convention with the Topps wording noted per row. "Purple Metallic Glitter Holiday" vs "Purple Glitter Holiday" and "Green Glitter Holiday" vs "Base Holiday Green Metallic Glitter" split 2-2 across sources.
- G-004 Three of the five Stocking Stuffer Metallic SSP design names (Santa Bag, Ornament, Stocking) are single-source (checklistinsider only); sportscarddad corroborates only Candy Cane and Holly by name. It is also unresolved whether the five Stocking Stuffer designs are a distinct family or are themselves the 25-card "Base Holiday Variation SSP" checklist, which would make those two parallels.csv entries overlap.
- G-005 Base cards are printed with an H prefix (H1-H200) but were recorded as plain integers 1-200 to satisfy the spec requirement that card numbers be contiguous 1..N. The H prefix is documented in release.csv notes.
- G-006 diamondcardsonline disagrees with every other source on relic and autograph counts, reporting Player Relics 120+, Dual Player Relics 48, Player Holiday Shaped Relics 25, and splitting the autograph set into "Base Cards I Autograph" (37) and "Base Cards II Autograph" (60+). checklistinsider, checklistcenter and chasingmajors agree on 100 / 25 / 24 / 96, which were recorded.
- G-007 Card counts for Base Holiday Variation SSP (25) and Base Holiday Backs Variation SSP (25) are single-source (chasingmajors only); no other source publishes a per-variation checklist size.
- G-008 Team assignments on cards H125 Kevin Durant (Houston Rockets) and H140 Jalen Green (Houston Rockets) are as-printed on both cardsmithsbreaks and checklistinsider, but Jalen Green was traded to Phoenix in the same 2025 offseason deal that sent Durant to Houston. Recorded as sources print; on-card team may be stale.
- G-009 Card H188 player name spelling varies: cardsmithsbreaks prints "Hugo Gonzáles", checklistinsider prints "Hugo Gonzales", diamondcardsonline renders a mangled "Hugo Gonzá les". Recorded as "Hugo Gonzáles" (2 of 3 sources). The player's actual name is Hugo González; no source prints that spelling.
- G-010 An initial checklistinsider fetch of cards 61-130 omitted H61 Nikola Jović, producing a one-card offset for the remainder of that range. Resolved against cardsmithsbreaks, diamondcardsonline and checklistinsider's own 131-200 listing, which all agree Nikola Jović is H61 and Andrew Wiggins is H62. Noting in case the checklistinsider page itself is defective.
- G-011 beckett.com/news returned HTTP 403 on every attempt and could not be used as a corroborating source. cardboardconnection.com is robots-disallowed for this release. No sportscollectorsdaily article on this product was found.
- G-012 Release date 2025-10-30 is confirmed by checklistinsider, checklistcenter, chasingmajors, dacardworld (both SKUs) and topps.com Countdown Calendar page. Conflicting figures exist: ripped.topps.com's box guide is dated October 8/23 2025 (article date, not street date) and the topps.com Mega Box page shows "Available From Nov 28, 2025" (a restock/direct-sale window). Recorded 2025-10-30.
- G-013 No hobby, blaster, value, hanger, fat pack or FOTL SKU could be found for this release despite targeted searches of target.com, walmart.com, dacardworld, gamestop and topps.com. The 2025-26 Topps Basketball Black Friday Target blaster that surfaces in searches belongs to the flagship Topps Basketball set, NOT to Topps Holiday. Recorded as a two-SKU retail-only product.
- G-014 PER-SET PARALLEL TIERS: 5 of 12 non-base sets carry an enumerated tier note. The remainder returned NO dedicated parallel section on checklistinsider, the only source that calibrated cleanly for Topps products; a sample was confirmed absent by targeted per-name query rather than inferred from silence. Many appear to be plain unnumbered inserts that genuinely have no ladder. NOTE the source landscape here differs from Panini: tcdb's Inserts.cfm page, which carried this data for every Panini line, is NOT validated for Topps, and ripped.topps.com's Collector's Guide was caught FABRICATING a full rainbow ladder that a verbatim search disproved. Resolving further needs a first-party Topps odds sheet per product, not more scraping.
