2022-23 Immaculate

• G-001 "Team Slogans" reappeared as a phantom set name for a fourth consecutive season: cardboardconnection.com's product-overview prose lists it ("The memorabilia inserts include Brand Logos, Logoman, Sole of the Game, Team Slogans, and others"), but no set of that name appears on checklistcenter.com's full 46-section checklist. REJECTED, not included in sets.csv.
• G-002 Base parallel ladder includes a "Holo #/3" tier sourced from checklistcenter.com and cardsmithsbreaks.com in near-identical wording (raising a copy/boilerplate risk between the two), but cardlines.com's independently-written ladder for this same season omits Holo entirely, and a casual search for actual Holo-parallel card listings (eBay, blowoutcards forums) turned up nothing. This directly echoes the task brief's prior caution that a recon-predicted "Holo /3" tier did NOT exist for 2019-20 or 2020-21. Included in parallels.csv as sourced/multi per the two agreeing domains, but flagged here as needing stronger independent confirmation (e.g. a raw wrapper/box-code source or a graded pop-report) before being treated as fully settled.
• G-003 tcdb.com's "Total Cards: 140" was REJECTED for base_set_size -- it bundles the 40-card Rookie Patch Autographs subset into the base total (100+40=140). base_set_size=100 confirmed via checklistcenter.com's full 1-100 checklist plus card-for-card agreement with cardsmithsbreaks.com on cards 1-20.
• G-004 Release date sources disagree: checklistcenter.com ("January 31, 2024") and steelcitycollectibles.com ("1/31/24") agree exactly; cardboardconnection.com instead gave an explicitly-labeled "Estimated Release Date: January 12, 2024", and cardlines.com gave "January 12, 2023" (likely a stale/erroneous year given the product's expected 2024 release window). Went with the two-source, non-estimated date.
• G-005 rookie_flag left UNKNOWN for all 100 base cards: no source fetched marked explicit 'RC' designations on the base checklist.
• G-006 Every set below Base Set, Rookie Patch Autographs, Heralded Signatures, Immaculate Ink, Logoman Autographs, and Logoman (memorabilia) is single-source (checklistcenter.com only): as of the fetches performed, cardboardconnection.com's own product page for this release stated "The checklist will be added as soon as it is available" and had no populated base or insert checklist, so a second independent full-checklist source could not be obtained for most sets' card counts and parallel tiers.
• G-007 "Patch Autographs Red" (32 cards) is listed by checklistcenter.com as its own checklist section separate from the 52-card "Patch Autographs" set rather than as a labeled color-parallel of it -- same ambiguity as "Materials Red" in the 2021-22 release. Could not confirm from a summarizing fetch whether it shares the same player roster; recorded as a separate set rather than folded into Patch Autographs' parallel tier.
• G-008 "Rookie Championship Tags Autographs" (28 cards) and "Rookie Jumbo Brand Logo Autographs" (33 cards) are both stated with a base serial run of only #/5 -- i.e. every card in the set, not merely a parallel tier, numbered to 5. This is unusually low for a non-parallel base run; only one source (checklistcenter.com) was available to confirm this reading, and a second could not be found.
• G-009 2021-22's single 74-card "Sneak Peek" set (with Heel Logo / Laces / Tongue Logo as named 1/1 variant tiers within it) appears to have been restructured for 2022-23 into four separate named sets by variant (Sneak Peek Brand Logo, Sneak Peek Heel Logo, Sneak Peek Laces, Sneak Peek Tongue Logo) with the "Laces" variant retaining the same 74-card count as the prior season's combined set. This reading was reached only after a narrow re-fetch to rule out a summarizing-fetch merge error; logged here since it reflects a genuine season-to-season product-structure change rather than a data artifact, per the task brief's caution.
• G-010 "Team Slogans" IS REAL for this release -- G-001 (which REJECTED it as a phantom name for a fourth consecutive season) is WRONG here. tcdb carries a populated 20-card subset "Team Slogans" at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412592/2022-23-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Team-Slogans with real printed SL- codes (SL-LMA LaMelo Ball, SL-PGF Paul George, SL-JRK Julius Randle, SL-ADK Anthony Davis, SL-PSA Pascal Siakam, SL-GAO Giannis Antetokounmpo, SL-LJN LeBron James, SL-JIP Jaden Ivey, SL-JDM Jalen Duren; the remaining rows are tcdb ordinal placeholders). cardsmithsbreaks.com (https://cardsmithsbreaks.com/full-checklist/2022-23-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball/) independently lists "Team Slogans" among the release's sets, corroborating cardboardconnection.com's prose that G-001 dismissed. checklistcenter.com's omission was treated as decisive and should not have been. NO SET ROW ADDED (sets.csv is out of scope for this task) and no card rows written; this needs a sets.csv row before its checklist can be filled. The same re-check is owed to G-001 in immaculate-bkb-2019-20, -2020-21 and -2021-22.
• G-011 tcdb subsets in this release with NO sets.csv row (recorded, NOT added): "Rookie Logoman Autographs" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412558/), "Sole of the Game" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412578/), "Standout Memorabilia" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412584/), "Swatches" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412588/), "Team Slogans" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412592/), "The Standard" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412593/) -- six subsets, matching the 6-7 per season the task brief predicted. Additionally tcdb splits our single "Jumbo Patches" row into three subsets, "Jumbo Patches - Jersey Number" (412508), "Jumbo Patches - Nameplate Nobility" (412509) and "Jumbo Patches - Team Logo" (412510) (see G-021). Separately, tcdb attaches 19 carry-over "Update I" subsets to this release (2017-18 Patch Autographs and its four parallels, 2020-21 Dual Logoman Autographs, and 2021-22 Immaculate Signature Moves / Logoman Autographs / Patch Autographs family / Premium Patch Autographs family, sids 412461-412479) -- these are prior-season redemption-replacement cards inserted in 2022-23 packs, not 2022-23 sets, and were deliberately excluded. Source: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/391159
• G-012 "All-Time" (1 card per sets.csv): NO USABLE card_number could be sourced, so NO ROW WAS WRITTEN. tcdb has created the subset (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412480/2022-23-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-All-Time) but states "The checklist for this set is not yet available." The only source carrying it, checklistcenter.com, prints "1 LeBron James - Los Angeles Lakers", and checklistcenter was NEGATIVELY CALIBRATED on this very release (it prints "1 Jaren Jackson Jr." for the card tcdb and eBay print as II-JJJ, and "1 Saddiq Bey" for IPA-BEY), so its "1" cannot be trusted as a printed number. Player identity (LeBron James) is not in doubt; the card_number is.
• G-013 "Quad Autographs" (10 cards per sets.csv): NO ROWS WRITTEN. tcdb has the subset (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412535/2022-23-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Quad-Autographs) but reports 0% complete and "The checklist for this set is not yet available." checklistcenter.com lists the 10 player combinations but numbers them 1-10, and that site renumbers coded sets on this release (see G-012), so its numbers were not used. 2021-22 used QA- codes, but per the spec a prefix must never be carried across a season boundary unverified, so no codes were inferred.
• G-014 TCDB ORDINAL PLACEHOLDERS detected on eleven low-population sets and REJECTED, leaving those sets partial. The spec's detection test fired on each: bare ordinals render INTERLEAVED with real letter codes in the card-number column, i.e. sorting in the wrong place (Logoman Autographs: ILA-CLA between "9" and "11", ILA-ROD between "23" and "25"; Logoman: ICL-KAT between "38" and "40"; Jumbo Sponsor Patch Autographs: JSP-IOK between "13" and "15"). Written / stated size: Logoman Autographs 9/53, Logoman 4/49, Patches Jersey Number 17/49, Brand Logos 14/30, Jumbo Sponsor Patch Autographs 1/24, Dual Logoman Autographs 2/9, Dual Rookie Logoman Autographs 4/20, Rookie Championship Tags Autographs 18/28, Rookie Jumbo Brand Logo Autographs 9/33, Sneak Peek Brand Logo 28/50, Sneak Peek Heel Logo 18/35, Sneak Peek Tongue Logo 33/58. The ordinals were NOT written -- a wrong identifier is worse than a missing one. Recovering the remainder needs marketplace listing titles per card.
• G-015 FETCH TRUNCATION on tcdb Checklist.cfm pages longer than roughly 70 rows left three sets partial even where tcdb has real codes: Premium Patch Autographs 71 of 89 (last complete row PPA-SBY), Jumbo Patches 79 of 91, Sneak Peek Laces 33 of 74 (truncation compounding the placeholder loss in G-014). Workarounds tried and rejected: tcdb PrintCenter.cfm is blocked by robots.txt; ?PageIndex/?PageSize query parameters redirect to the tcdb homepage for single-page subsets; the Gold/Platinum parallel pages truncate at the same or an earlier point; ChecklistByLastName.cfm returns the full roster but renders a bare 1..N ROW INDEX in the number column (verified on sid 412530, where it prints 1..74 for codes Checklist.cfm prints as PPA-), so it was used only to confirm roster size, never for card_number; sportscardspro.com has no page for this basketball release (404).
• G-016 INCOMPLETE tcdb card-number cells omitted rather than written wrong. Cells reading only a bare prefix with no suffix: "DA-" on four Dual Autographs rows (Deandre Ayton/Christian Koloko, Jaren Jackson Jr./Ja Morant, Jayson Tatum/Paul Pierce, Kenyon Martin Jr./Jabari Smith Jr.) -- confirmed by a narrow verbatim re-fetch that quoted each cell individually; "ISV-" on Immaculate Signature Moves (Jaden Ivey); "SNS-" on two Sneakers Swatches Signatures rows (Jaden Ivey, Malaki Branham). Cells reading "TBD": Dual Autographs (Malik Monk/Kevin Huerter), Triple Autographs (4 rows), Immaculate Ink / Patch Autographs / Patch Autographs Red / Shadowbox Signatures / Logoman Autographs (Tim Hardaway Jr. or Rashard Lewis), Dual Logoman Autographs, Dual Rookie Logoman Autographs, Rookie Championship Tags Autographs, Rookie Jumbo Brand Logo Autographs, Logoman (Desmond Bane), Jumbo Sponsor Patch Autographs (Jonathan Kuminga). Player and team are known for all of these; only the printed number is missing.
• G-017 DUPLICATE card_number within a single set, written verbatim as tcdb prints them but flagged as probable tcdb transcription errors that a resolver will hit: Immaculate Legends ILE-BOB (Bob Cousy AND Bob McAdoo); Immaculate Signatures IMS-JST (Jerry Stackhouse AND John Starks); Massive Memorabilia MM-MLC (Max Christie AND Moussa Diabate); Patches Jersey Number PJN-BAH (Bogdan Bogdanovic AND Bam Adebayo); Premium Patch Autographs PPA-JHA (Jaden Hardy AND James Harden -- Jaden Hardy is JHD in Massive Memorabilia and Jumbo Patches, so PPA-JHD is the likely true code for one of them); Remarkable Rookie Jerseys RJ-MUR (Blake Wesley AND Keegan Murray -- RJ-MUR fits Murray, so Wesley's is likely wrong); Shadowbox Signatures SBS-SKE (Steve Kerr AND Shawn Kemp); Sneakers Swatches Signatures SNS-JHA (Jaden Hardy AND James Harden). Each needs one marketplace listing title to settle.
• G-018 ROW COUNT EXCEEDS sets.csv card_count on two sets, both sourced single-source from checklistcenter.com per G-006: Immaculate Ink has 36 distinct coded rows on tcdb vs card_count 35, and Shadowbox Signatures has 45 vs card_count 44. In both cases the extra row is a real coded tcdb entry, not a duplicate. Since checklistcenter renumbers this release 1..N its section lengths may also be off by one; the tcdb count is the better figure but sets.csv was left untouched (out of scope).
• G-019 REFINES G-007. "Patch Autographs Red" (32 cards) shares the IPA- prefix with "Patch Autographs" (52 cards) and every one of its 32 codes is also present in Patch Autographs -- a strict subset of the same roster with identical card numbers (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412527/ vs https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412523/). tcdb itself files it as a parallel alongside Patch Autographs Gold / Jersey Number / FOTL / Tags. That is strong evidence it is a colour parallel of Patch Autographs, not a separate set, and the same is likely true of the analogous "Materials Red" call in 2021-22. Rows were written under the sets.csv name as delivered; the structural call needs a decision outside this task.
• G-020 CARD_NUMBER IS NOT UNIQUE ACROSS THIS RELEASE -- (set_name, card_number) is the only safe key. (a) All four Sneak Peek variants use the SAME SP- codes for the same player: SP-ADA is Anthony Davis in Brand Logo, Heel Logo, Laces and Tongue Logo alike; 10+ codes are shared across variants. (b) The RJ- prefix is shared inside this release by Remarkable Jerseys (two-character suffixes, e.g. RJ-BH) and Remarkable Rookie Jerseys (three-character, e.g. RJ-AJG) -- a NEW collision, since 2021-22 used RJ- and RR- respectively. (c) Rookie Patch Autographs is base-mirrored 101-140, so those numbers are shared with base cards 101-140. Cross-season prefix changes verified rather than assumed and found REAL: ICI->II (Immaculate Ink), HS->IHS (Heralded Signatures), PA->IPA (Patch Autographs), ISM->ISV (Immaculate Signature Moves), SSS->SNS (Sneakers Swatches Signatures), IL->ILE (Immaculate Legends), IM->IMM (Immaculate Milestones), LMA->ILA (Logoman Autographs), DR->DRL (Dual Rookie Logoman), RR->RJ (Remarkable Rookie Jerseys), RQ->RRQ (Quad), and MM- was REASSIGNED -- it covered both Massive Memorabilia and Modern Marks in 2021-22, but in 2022-23 Modern Marks moved to IMO- and MM- belongs to Massive Memorabilia alone. Carrying 2021-22 prefixes forward would have produced roughly 400 wrong card numbers.
• G-021 STRUCTURAL MISMATCH on Jumbo Patches. sets.csv carries one 91-card "Jumbo Patches" set (checklistcenter-sourced), but tcdb splits it into three same-prefix subsets with different sizes: Jersey Number 81 (sid 412508), Nameplate Nobility 82 (sid 412509), Team Logo 80 (sid 412510). They share the same JP- codes for the same players, so the 91 is plausibly the union roster. 79 distinct JP- codes were written under the sets.csv name "Jumbo Patches" as the union of the three tcdb pages; the mapping is a documented inference, not a sourced fact, and the 12 missing codes are a fetch-truncation loss (G-015). If the three variants are later split into three sets.csv rows, these rows must be re-assigned rather than trusted.
• G-022 CONFLICTING NUMBER FORMS for Heralded Signatures on eBay. Seller-written listing titles support the letter codes tcdb prints ("Panini Immaculate 2022-23 Manu Ginobili Heralded Signatures Auto /10 IHS-MNU", https://www.ebay.com/itm/336729270836; "2022 Panini Immaculate Heralded Signatures Red /25 Karl Malone #IHS-KML Auto HOF", https://www.ebay.com/itm/317384225319), but eBay's own catalogue page for Bob Pettit renders "#IHS-10" (https://www.ebay.com/p/15065227615) where tcdb prints IHS-BOB. Seller-transcribed titles were treated as the stronger evidence per the spec and IHS-BOB was written. Flagged because if eBay's catalogue reflects a genuine second printed form, some IHS- rows may need an alias.
• G-023 PARTIAL SUPPORT FOR G-002. The disputed base "Holo #/3" tier now has a third, independent trace: tcdb lists a "Holo" parallel set for this release at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/412458/2022-23-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Holo, alongside Blue/Gold/Green/Platinum/Red. That is a different domain from the two near-identically-worded sources G-002 flagged, so the copy/boilerplate concern is weakened, though the serial number "/3" itself is still unconfirmed by a marketplace listing. Noted, not closed.
• G-024 RETROACTIVE RECOVERY SWEEP 2026-09-07 using two tcdb endpoints discovered after this release's checklist line was completed: Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=N (paginates at 10 cards/page, states the set's true total, prints the real codes, renders NO team) and Errors.cfm/sid/<N>/<slug>. METHOD: every page was index-aligned against an overlap row already on disk before any row was written, and every rendered list was counted by hand -- no fetch self-report and no tcdb 'Total Cards' header was trusted on its own. No existing row was altered, reordered or re-derived. ERRORS.CFM FINDING (release-independent, recorded in all six seasons): Errors.cfm returned 'no entries' on every Immaculate sid probed across four seasons (2019-20 sids 252463 and 252475, 2020-21 sids 294055, 294075 and 294128, 2024-25 sids 560431 and 564989). Immaculate carries no Nb/Nc variation rows, so that endpoint recovers nothing on this line and the TBD/TBA tokens it was hoped would resolve remain unresolved. [SUPERSEDED IN PART -- see G-015, whose FETCH TRUNCATION shortfall is now closed for all three sets.] RECOVERED 28 rows: Premium Patch Autographs 71 -> 85 (Gallery pages 8-9 of sid 412530, header 'Total Cards: 89', index 71 = PPA-SBY matched disk; the remaining four rows render the literal 'TBD' for Jaden Ivey, Josh Minott, Kevon Harris and Malaki Branham and stay withheld); Jumbo Patches 79 -> 89 of 91 (nine codes from sid 412508 pages 8-9, header 'Total Cards: 81', plus JP-WKU Walker Kessler recovered ONLY from the Nameplate Nobility relic-variant subset sid 412509 page 9, header 'Total Cards: 82' -- the union across variants is what sets.csv's 91 represents, and tcdb's three variant pages state 81/82/80); Sneak Peek Laces 33 -> 37 of 74 (all eight Gallery pages of sid 412572 read). DUPLICATE CODE WRITTEN VERBATIM AND FLAGGED: PPA-SCU appears on TWO adjacent Gallery rows, Seth Curry and Stephen Curry. Both fit the code; written as printed per the spec's collision rule. NOT TRUNCATION -- THREE SETS RE-SWEPT IN FULL AND FOUND ALREADY COMPLETE, which retires them as candidates: Patches Jersey Number (all five Gallery pages of sid 412529 read; 49 entries = the 17 PJN- codes already on disk plus 32 bare ordinals running 1..50 with 25 missing -- a run that OVERSHOOTS the 49-card set, which is positive proof they are Panini internal-sequence indices and not printed numbers); Sneak Peek Tongue Logo (sid 412573 page 6) and Sneak Peek Brand Logo (sid 412570 page 5), whose tails carry no code that was not already written. Sneak Peek Laces was the only member of that family long enough (74 rows) for truncation to bite, which is why it alone yielded rows. G-014's other placeholder sets and G-016's incomplete cells are unchanged: Dual Autographs 40 + 4 bare 'DA-' + 1 TBD = 45, Triple Autographs 11 + 4 TBD = 15, Sneakers Swatches Signatures 47 + 2 bare 'SNS-' = 49 and Immaculate Signature Moves 19 + 1 bare 'ISV-' = 20 all reconcile exactly, so nothing is hidden behind a cut.
