2016-17 Immaculate

• G-001 CARD NUMBER 138 IS ISSUED IN THIS PRODUCT AND THE ROOKIE PATCH AUTOGRAPHS CARD COUNT IS THEREFORE CONTESTED, 39 AGAINST 40, AND IS NOT RESOLVED. tcdb enumerates the Rookie Patch Autographs block at 39 cards over numbers 101-140 with 138 absent, on four pages: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/158398/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection?PageIndex=2 and the same URL with &sort=0; the Red parallel https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/159583/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Red?PageIndex=2 ; the Gold parallel https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/159584/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Gold?PageIndex=2 ; and the Rookie Patch Autographs Jersey Number parallel https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/159586/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Rookie-Patch-Autographs-Jersey-Number whose own header reads "Total Cards: 39". Against that, card 138 provably exists: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/159585/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Rookie-Logoman-Autographs states "Total Cards: 40" and renders all forty numbers 101-140 with 138 Jaylen Brown, and a second differently-varied fetch of the same sid (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/159585/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Rookie-Logoman-Autographs?sort=0) answered a direct yes/no about a row numbered 138 with yes and gave the same player. cardboardconnection independently states "Rookie Patch Autographs Set Checklist - 40 cards." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). This is the CAV-044 shape: a page being rows short of another page of the same product is indistinguishable from a genuinely unissued number without opening both. 39 is written because it is the enumerated figure for the block itself and because 100 + 39 = 139 reconciles the parent header exactly; it may be one row short. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a second editorial lineage on the Rookie Patch Autographs roster, or a marketplace listing for a Jaylen Brown 2016-17 Immaculate Rookie Patch Autograph numbered 138.
• G-002 TWO DIFFERENT SETS SHARE THE 101-140 CARD NUMBERING WITH NON-IDENTICAL ROSTERS, WHICH THE SCHEMA CANNOT FLAG AND WHICH NO SOURCE EXPLAINS. The Rookie Patch Autographs block renders card 106 as Jake Layman on three pages (the parent, Red and Gold), while Rookie Logoman Autographs sid 159585 renders card 106 as Dario Saric and carries no Jake Layman row anywhere, confirmed on ViewSet.cfm and on Checklist.cfm?sort=0. Neither Dario Saric nor Jaylen Brown appears anywhere in the Rookie Patch Autographs block at all, and both are prominent 2016-17 rookies. Either tcdb has two partly wrong rosters for one 40-card rookie block, or the product really ships two differently-rostered 1/1 and patch-auto sets on one number range. Not resolved, and nothing was merged.
• G-003 rookie_flag IS UNKNOWN ON ALL 100 BASE CARDS AND THE DISCRIMINATIVE TEST WAS RUN AND FAILED. tcdb renders the token RC on every one of the 39 rows of the 101-140 autograph block and on none of the 100 base rows, which looks like the positive within-sid discriminative test that would license rookie_flag=no on the base run. It is not one: Ben Simmons, a 2016-17 rookie, sits at base card 8 with no RC token (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/158398/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection?PageIndex=1), while Brandon Ingram, Buddy Hield and Jamal Murray of the same rookie class carry RC inside the block. So the blank base flag column is a cataloguing choice about where tcdb puts RC on this product, not a statement that the base players are not rookies. CAV-003 applies. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a source that prints RC designations against the base checklist.
• G-004 THE SCHEMA CANNOT EXPRESS "SERIAL NUMBERED, PER-CARD RUN" AND IT COST A VALUE ON TWELVE TIERS OF THIS RELEASE. Each of the following is PROVABLY serial numbered and PROVABLY not uniform, so EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3 forces print_run=UNKNOWN / serial_numbered=UNKNOWN and the real census survives only in parallels.csv visual_notes and here. Tier, scope, rows enumerated, distinct token count: Gold @ Rookie Patch Autographs 39 rows 2 tokens; Jersey Number @ Patch Autographs 55 rows 26 tokens; Jersey Number @ Rookie Patch Autographs 39 rows 30 tokens; Red @ Premium Patch Autographs 67 of 84 rows 7 tokens; Gold @ Premium Patch Autographs 66 of 88 rows 2 tokens; Prime @ Remarkable Memorabilia 29 rows 4 tokens; Red @ Sneaker Swatch Signatures 27 rows 8 tokens; Gold @ Sneaker Swatch Signatures 17 rows 2 tokens; Jumbo @ Sneaker Swatch Signatures 39 rows 6 tokens; Prime @ Special Event Materials 60 rows 9 tokens; Red @ Standout Materials 25 rows 3 tokens; Gold @ Standout Materials 28 rows 3 tokens. ALL TWELVE ARE SET SCOPE, where UNKNOWN is at least legal; had any been base scope, CAV-041 says there would be no legal row at all. This is the sixth consecutive season the same expressiveness gap has cost a value. A print_run_basis column on parallels, or a sibling table holding per-card runs, would convert this spend into recorded fact.
• G-005 sets.csv HAS NO print_run COLUMN AND EIGHTEEN OF THIS RELEASE'S SETS ARE PER-CARD VARIABLE, SO THEIR REAL NUMBERING IS RECORDED ONLY IN PROSE. The sets whose own rows carry more than one distinct serial token, with the token count: Rookie Patch Autographs 3, The Standard 5, Standout Materials 2, Special Event Materials 10, Sneaker Swatches 7, Sneaker Swatch Signatures 11, Shadowbox Signatures 3, Remarkable Memorabilia 2, Prime Jersey Number 27, Nameplate Nobility 10, Marks of Greatness 3, Jumbo Patches - Jersey Numbers 17, Jumbo Patches - Team Logos 19, Immaculate Moments 3, Dual Patches 4, Celebration Signatures 3, All-Time Greats 2, Premium Patch Autographs 6, Patch Autographs 2. Prime Jersey Number and the two Jumbo Patches sets are the CAV-023 jersey-number scheme. A further nine sets ARE uniformly numbered and their single figure is likewise only in notes, because the field does not exist: Dual Autographs /49, Dual Materials /99, Grand Memorabilia /50, Heralded Signatures /99, Historical Significance /99, Milestones /25, Modern Marks /99, Scripts /99, Triple Autographs /25, Triple Materials /99, plus the all-1/1 sets Laces, Logoman, Logoman Autographs, Rookie Logoman Autographs, Sneak Peek, Tongues and Dual Rookie Logoman Autographs. EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.2 forbids putting a print run in card_count and none was put there.
• G-006 CARD COUNT CONTESTED ON "Dual Materials": tcdb's header and its own rendered rows both give 30 while cardboardconnection states 32 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). The enumerated tcdb figure 30 is written and nothing was averaged. Note its three colour tiers state 22, 23 and 25 on their own tcdb headers. The two sources are plausibly one editorial lineage downstream of Panini's sell sheet (CAV-037 as corrected), so this is not read as independent corroboration either way. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a third structural lineage. checklistcenter could not be reached for this product (see the separate gap) and beckett.com is unreachable (CAV-033).
• G-007 CARD COUNT CONTESTED ON "Heralded Signatures": tcdb's header and its own rendered rows both give 39 while cardboardconnection states 40 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). The enumerated tcdb figure 39 is written and nothing was averaged. Note all three of its colour tiers state 40 on their own tcdb headers. The two sources are plausibly one editorial lineage downstream of Panini's sell sheet (CAV-037 as corrected), so this is not read as independent corroboration either way. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a third structural lineage. checklistcenter could not be reached for this product (see the separate gap) and beckett.com is unreachable (CAV-033).
• G-008 CARD COUNT CONTESTED ON "Modern Marks": tcdb's header and its own rendered rows both give 37 while cardboardconnection states 40 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). The enumerated tcdb figure 37 is written and nothing was averaged. Note all three of its colour tiers state 40 on their own tcdb headers. The two sources are plausibly one editorial lineage downstream of Panini's sell sheet (CAV-037 as corrected), so this is not read as independent corroboration either way. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a third structural lineage. checklistcenter could not be reached for this product (see the separate gap) and beckett.com is unreachable (CAV-033).
• G-009 CARD COUNT CONTESTED ON "Patch Autographs": tcdb's header and its own rendered rows both give 56 while cardboardconnection states 59 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). The enumerated tcdb figure 56 is written and nothing was averaged. Note its Gold tier states 59 and its Red tier 56 on their own tcdb headers. The two sources are plausibly one editorial lineage downstream of Panini's sell sheet (CAV-037 as corrected), so this is not read as independent corroboration either way. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a third structural lineage. checklistcenter could not be reached for this product (see the separate gap) and beckett.com is unreachable (CAV-033).
• G-010 CARD COUNT CONTESTED ON "Premium Patch Autographs": tcdb's header and its own rendered rows both give 81 while cardboardconnection states 95 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). The enumerated tcdb figure 81 is written and nothing was averaged. Note its tiers state 84, 88 and 91 on their own tcdb headers, so five figures are in play for one set. The two sources are plausibly one editorial lineage downstream of Panini's sell sheet (CAV-037 as corrected), so this is not read as independent corroboration either way. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a third structural lineage. checklistcenter could not be reached for this product (see the separate gap) and beckett.com is unreachable (CAV-033).
• G-011 CARD COUNT CONTESTED ON "Remarkable Memorabilia": tcdb's header and its own rendered rows both give 32 while cardboardconnection states 22 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). The enumerated tcdb figure 32 is written and nothing was averaged. Note here cardboardconnection is the LOWER figure, the reverse of the other contests; its tiers state 29 and 30. The two sources are plausibly one editorial lineage downstream of Panini's sell sheet (CAV-037 as corrected), so this is not read as independent corroboration either way. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a third structural lineage. checklistcenter could not be reached for this product (see the separate gap) and beckett.com is unreachable (CAV-033).
• G-012 CARD COUNT CONTESTED ON "Triple Materials": tcdb's header and its own rendered rows both give 26 while cardboardconnection states 27 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). The enumerated tcdb figure 26 is written and nothing was averaged. Note its Platinum tier states 26 on its own tcdb header. The two sources are plausibly one editorial lineage downstream of Panini's sell sheet (CAV-037 as corrected), so this is not read as independent corroboration either way. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a third structural lineage. checklistcenter could not be reached for this product (see the separate gap) and beckett.com is unreachable (CAV-033).
• G-013 RENDER SHORTFALL ON "Dual Patches" (tcdb sid 159561): the header states 11 and only 10 rows rendered. Unlike the count contests above, here cardboardconnection INDEPENDENTLY AGREES WITH THE HEADER at 11 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards), so the header is written and the 1 missing rendered rows are the open item. Per EXTRACTION_SPEC a header disagreeing with a row count is a question about the unit, and the unit question is settled here by the second source; what is not settled is which rows tcdb failed to render. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a Gallery.cfm sweep of this sid, which was not budgeted in this pass.
• G-014 RENDER SHORTFALL ON "Quad Autographs" (tcdb sid 159570): the header states 12 and only 11 rows rendered. Unlike the count contests above, here cardboardconnection INDEPENDENTLY AGREES WITH THE HEADER at 12 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards), so the header is written and the 1 missing rendered rows are the open item. Per EXTRACTION_SPEC a header disagreeing with a row count is a question about the unit, and the unit question is settled here by the second source; what is not settled is which rows tcdb failed to render. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a Gallery.cfm sweep of this sid, which was not budgeted in this pass.
• G-015 RENDER SHORTFALL ON "Triple Autographs" (tcdb sid 159571): the header states 27 and only 23 rows rendered. Unlike the count contests above, here cardboardconnection INDEPENDENTLY AGREES WITH THE HEADER at 27 (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards), so the header is written and the 4 missing rendered rows are the open item. Per EXTRACTION_SPEC a header disagreeing with a row count is a question about the unit, and the unit question is settled here by the second source; what is not settled is which rows tcdb failed to render. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: a Gallery.cfm sweep of this sid, which was not budgeted in this pass.
• G-016 COVERAGE SHORTFALL ON THREE TIERS, STATED AS ROW COUNTS RATHER THAN ROUNDED UP. Red @ Premium Patch Autographs: 67 of 84 rows enumerated on the default sort, plus a whole-page distinct-token read under ?sort=0 which reported 84 rows and the same token set; the verdict (variable) is unaffected by the shortfall because it writes UNKNOWN either way. Gold @ Premium Patch Autographs: 66 of 88 on the default sort plus 44 under ?sort=0; same reasoning. Platinum @ The Standard: 71 of 80 rows, and here the shortfall DOES matter because a flat 1 was written - ?sort=0 reached only 50 rows and self-contradicted about one row, so nine rows of an 80-row 1/1 tier were never read, and CAV-050 records the 1/1 end varying on other products of this season. WHAT WOULD CLOSE THIS: Gallery.cfm pages 8-10 on sid 159517.
• G-017 TWO TOKENLESS ROWS ON Special Event Materials WITH NO DISCRIMINATIVE TEST AVAILABLE. The bare-ordinal rows "18" and "23" render an EMPTY flag column on BOTH tiers of that set - Platinum sid 159523 and Prime sid 159524 - so the usual positive discriminative test (the same renderer emitting a token on the same row of a sibling tier) cannot be run for them, unlike the equivalent blanks on Scripts Red (resolved against Scripts Gold and Platinum), Sneaker Swatch Signatures Platinum (resolved against Sneaker Swatch Signatures Red) and Standout Materials Platinum (resolved against Standout Materials Gold). Per CAV-042 an empty flag column is never evidence of absence, so nothing was concluded about those two rows; the written tier values rest on the 60 and 58 rows that do render a token.
• G-018 channel IS UNKNOWN ON 40 OF THE 41 PARALLEL ROWS AND THAT IS AN EVIDENCED REFUSAL, NOT MISSING WORK. cardboardconnection was asked directly whether the page states a sales channel for this product and states none (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards); no tcdb page carries a channel statement. The ONE exception is Emerald Special, where cardboardconnection's parallel line reads "Emerald #/5 (1st Off the Line)" - that is an identification of the tier with the First Off The Line SKU, not a sentence using the word "exclusive", so channel_basis is sourced-presence rather than sourced-exclusive and channel_sku carries "1st Off the Line". Per EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3 every other row has channel=UNKNOWN with an EMPTY channel_basis and an empty channel_confidence, which the database requires. A product-level hobby note was NOT inherited onto tiers it does not cover, because there is no such note to inherit.
• G-019 NO FLOOR IS CLAIMED FOR THE immaculate LINE AND NONE MAY BE INFERRED FROM THE SEASONS PRESENT. cardboardconnection was asked directly whether the page makes any debut or first-year statement for Immaculate basketball, or says how many years the line has run, and it states nothing (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-cards). No tcdb page carries such a statement either. The 2016-17 scope memo 3a and 6(3) record Immaculate Collection parents at tcdb sid 130218 (2015-16) and sid 106950 (2014-15), correcting the 2017-18 memo's listing of immaculate as an open floor - so at least two seasons sit below this one. Per the Studio lesson a floor needs a positive statement in words, and absence from an adjacent index would not be one. Those two sid claims are inherited from the scope memo and were NOT re-fetched in this pass.
• G-020 THIS RELEASE HAS NO PRINTING-PLATE PARALLELS AND THAT IS A STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCE FROM THE SEASON ABOVE, NOT A COVERAGE HOLE. tcdb's Inserts.cfm for the parent was asked directly, on a second differently-parameterised fetch, whether any row anywhere on the page carries a set name containing "Printing Plate" or "Plates", and answered no (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/158398/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection?x=1). Only 5 Parallel Sets rows exist - Blue, Emerald Special, Gold, Platinum, Red - and the 70 Insert Sets rows contain no plate set. By contrast data/immaculate-bkb-2017-18/parallels.csv carries four base-scope rows named Printing Plates Black / Cyan / Magenta / Yellow, each at print_run=1. No plate row was written here, and in particular no plate was written as /1 by convention. ⚠ CONVENTION NOTE FOR A LATER PASS: a /1 on a printing plate is a hobby convention rather than a sourced figure, and the 2017-18 rows should be re-checked against a source that states it.
• G-021 THE Inserts.cfm NOTES COLUMN IS WORTHLESS ON THIS PARENT IN BOTH SECTIONS AND THE BOTH-DIRECTIONS SPLIT TEST IS UNRUNNABLE, SO EVERY PRINT RUN HERE COST A PER-SID ROW SWEEP. Calibrated on this parent, per section, per cell, as CAV-036 requires and NOT on the sibling season, which that caveat now calls an anti-source. Parallel Sets: 5 of 5 cells are image-completion percentages ("9.5% of images added" and so on), zero blanks, zero serial statements in any format. Insert Sets: 70 of 70 cells are image-completion percentages, zero blanks, zero serial statements. With no blank cells at all there is nothing for the split test to discriminate, so it is not merely failed - it cannot be run (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/158398/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection). Recorded so the season census of this column stays honest: usable on 0 of 1 parents here, both sections.
• G-022 THE PARENT'S "Included Sets:" LIST DISAGREES WITH ITS OWN SECTION HEADINGS BY FOUR ENTRIES AND THE SECTION HEADINGS WERE TAKEN. An out-of-range page (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/158398/2016-17-Panini-Immaculate-Collection?PageIndex=9) renders no card rows and an "Included Sets:" list, and that list was counted at 71 entries. The Inserts.cfm sections give "Insert Sets (70)" and "Parallel Sets (5)" = 75, each section's enumerated row count matching its own heading number exactly, on two differently-parameterised fetches. 75 is also exactly the width of the contiguous sid block 159515-159589 whose both boundaries were proved foreign (159514 = "2017 Leaf Pop Century - Green", non-sport; 159590 = "1979 George Brace Ken Brett Postcard", baseball), so three independent facts agree on 75 and the 71 is not treated as evidence of anything. Not chased further.
• G-023 CHASE-PASS HANDOFF: BARE ORDINAL CARD NUMBERS SIT INSIDE LETTER-CODED SETS ON AT LEAST EIGHT SIDS, AND THREE SETS CARRY DUPLICATE CODES. Bare ordinals among coded rows: Premium Patch Autographs Red (47, 66), Gold (47, 56, 66) and Platinum (45, 47, 56, 66); Scripts Red/Gold/Platinum (16, 20); Standout Materials Gold and Platinum (28); Sneaker Swatch Signatures Red, Jumbo and Platinum (14); Special Event Materials Prime and Platinum (18, 23); The Standard Platinum (42). Duplicate codes: Modern Marks renders MM-DMC twice (DeMarre Carroll and Doug McDermott) and MM-JTE twice (Jason Terry and Jeff Teague), so 40 rows sit over 38 distinct codes; Special Event Materials Prime renders SE-TDN twice, 60 rows over 59 distinct codes. None of this affects base_cards.csv, whose numbers are all plain integers 1-100, and none of it was normalised. It is recorded here because a CHASE_CHECKLIST_SPEC pass over this release will meet it and because a count keyed on distinct codes will disagree with card_count on those three sets.
• G-024 checklistcenter.com WAS NOT REACHED FOR THIS PRODUCT AND NO ABSENCE CLAIM IS MADE ABOUT IT. A web search for a 2016-17 Panini Immaculate page on that site surfaced only its 2017-18 page (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2017-18-panini-immaculate-basketball/). Per CAV-037 its slugs are irregular and a 404 on a constructed path is evidence of nothing, so no path was constructed. CONSEQUENCE: with beckett.com unreachable (CAV-033, confirmed 302 to a maintenance page) this release rests on ONE editorial lineage, cardboardconnection, for everything tcdb does not carry - and cardboardconnection itself carries no entry at all for eight of this release's sets (Scripts, Shadowbox Signatures, Sneak Peek, Sneaker Swatch Signatures, Sneaker Swatches, Special Event Materials, Standout Materials, The Standard, Tongues) and none for Rookie Logoman Autographs, so those counts are single-source. breakninja.com and gogts.net were both opened and state nothing about counts, print runs, channel or date for this product. Marketplace corroboration was not attempted.
• G-025 REDUCED FETCH DIVERSITY ON THE BASE-SCOPE Gold TIER. Two Checklist.cfm fetches on sid 159584 READ-TIMED-OUT, on the canonical slug and on a varied slug, so that tier's base-run coverage rests on Gallery.cfm pages 1, 9 and 10 plus a single Checklist.cfm?sort=0 render of rows 1-82, rather than on two independent Checklist renders. Every row 1-100 was still reached and every page's row count equalled its number span, and cardboardconnection independently states "Gold #/10", so the VALUE is well supported; what is thinner than on the other four base tiers is the endpoint diversity behind it.
