2024-25 Immaculate

• G-001 checklistcenter.com's page contains a full "Team Slogans Set" section (14 cards, individually serial-numbered, e.g. "Darius Garland - Cleveland Cavaliers #/10", "Joel Embiid - Philadelphia 76ers #/2") formatted identically to every other genuine checklist section on that page. This is NOT corroborated: checklistinsider.com's full checklist, cardsmithsbreaks.com's TOC, and chasingmajors.com's checklist-and-odds page all omit it entirely, and gogts.net's explicitly-preview page also omits it. "Team Slogans" has appeared only in preview/solicitation copy and never in a published checklist across all four prior Immaculate Basketball seasons (2019-20 through 2022-23) plus 2023-24. Given the single-source status and the phantom's history, NOT added to sets.csv.
• G-002 checklistinsider.com's page returned meaningfully different card counts for the same named sets across two separate fetches of the identical URL (e.g. Clutch Time Signatures 20 vs 19; Dual Autographs 45 vs 41; Heralded Signatures 40 vs 39; Logoman Autographs 60 vs 56) -- this internal inconsistency means checklistinsider.com could not be used as a reliable independent corroborating source for card counts this season. sets.csv counts are drawn from checklistcenter.com's per-section listing, cross-checked against cardsmithsbreaks.com where that source's counts were available (noted per-row); most rows are tagged single-source given this. This is thinner sourcing than prior seasons, consistent with the task's expectation that the newest seasons have less-settled web coverage.
• G-003 "Immaculate Ink Red" (30), "Immaculate Signatures Red" (11), "Modern Marks Red" (31), "Patch Autographs Blue" (29), "Premium Patch Autographs Blue/International Red/International Green" (67/79/90), "Retro Premium Patch Autographs Platinum" (21), and "Sophisticated Signatures Red" (22) are each listed by checklistcenter.com as their own numbered checklist sections with card counts differing from their plain-named counterpart set -- the same ambiguity flagged for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 siblings' color-named variants. Kept as separate sets.csv rows rather than folded into a parallel-tier note, since a genuine parallel tier should share the base set's card roster/count.
• G-004 rookie_flag left UNKNOWN for all 100 base cards: no fetched source marked explicit 'RC' designations on the base checklist.
• G-005 No "Holo" parallel name found for this season (same as 2023-24); the #/3 slot is "Bronze". This season also adds a full International sub-ladder (International Red #/27, International Green #/8, International Black 1/1) alongside the existing hobby ladder -- new for the product line, sourced multi (checklistinsider.com, cardsmithsbreaks.com, checklistcenter.com, otia.com).
• G-006 PER-SET PARALLEL TREES NOT CAPTURED for this release: 0 of 51 non-base sets carry an enumerated 'Has its own parallel tier (...)' note, so none could be promoted into scoped parallel rows. On premium Panini lines nearly every insert and autograph set carries its own colour tree - two sibling Immaculate seasons captured 21 and 18 respectively, and National Treasures captured 190 across six seasons. This is a COVERAGE gap in what was researched, not a statement that these sets lack parallels. Resolving it needs a re-run over this release's sets, not a parse of existing notes. [REPAIRED 2026-08-27: a targeted repair pass resolved 22 of 51 non-base sets with sourced tier colours; 29 remain unannotated because no source publishes their tier colours. The gap stays OPEN at the reduced figure rather than being closed - partial coverage is not coverage.]
• G-007 PARTIAL RESOLUTION of G-006: 22 of 51 non-base sets now carry a sourced 'Has its own parallel tier (...)' note (Rookie Patch Autographs, Rookie Patches, Canvas Creations Signatures International, Clutch Time Signatures, Heralded Signatures, Illustrious Ink International, Immaculate Ink, Immaculate Signatures, International Notoriety Signatures, Jubilee Signatures, Modern Marks, Patch Autographs, Premium Patch Autographs, Premium Patch Autographs International Green, Retro Patch Autographs, Retro Premium Patch Autographs, Rookie Autographs International, Shadowbox Signatures, Sneaker Swatches Signatures, Sophisticated Signatures, Statements Signatures, Victory Signatures), sourced from checklistcenter.com's per-set 'Parallels:' lines (all 55 sections on that page were captured), about half cross-checked against checklistinsider.com and two (Immaculate Ink's Blue and Platinum tiers) against standalone tcdb.com checklist pages. Sourcing here is thinner than the 2023-24 sibling: checklistinsider.com's page for this season omits several sets entirely (confirmed absent by direct re-query for Sneaker Swatches Signatures and Sophisticated Signatures specifically) rather than merely lacking a parallels line for them, consistent with G-002's finding that checklistinsider.com is not fully reliable for this season; 10 of the 22 annotated sets are therefore single-source (checklistcenter.com only) and flagged as such in their notes. 'Premium Patch Autographs International Green' -- itself already a count-differentiated row per G-003 -- was found to carry its OWN further Platinum 1/1 sub-parallel with player-name exceptions, directly matching the pattern the task brief described; the sibling rows Patch Autographs Blue/Jersey Number, Premium Patch Autographs Blue/International Red, Retro Premium Patch Autographs Platinum, Immaculate Ink Red, Immaculate Signatures Red, Modern Marks Red and Sophisticated Signatures Red were checked the same way and confirmed to have NO further sub-tier ('No parallels listed' on checklistcenter.com's own per-section page for each). The remaining 29 non-base sets had no parallel/color-tier line in any source checked (plain narrative inserts, all-1/1 sets like Logoman Autographs and Dual Logoman Autographs, and thin single-tier sets like Lottery Draft Booklet Triple Auto Relics and Treasured Signatures, whose only stated print info was a single 'Platinum 1/1' line with no second color -- judged too thin to constitute a genuine 'tree' and left unannotated rather than force a one-item bracket) and were deliberately left unannotated. 'Team Slogans' was not touched -- see G-001, the phantom-set dispute is unresolved and out of scope for this pass. [REPAIRED 2026-08-27: a targeted repair pass resolved 22 of 51 non-base sets with sourced tier colours; 29 remain unannotated because no source publishes their tier colours. The gap stays OPEN at the reduced figure rather than being closed - partial coverage is not coverage.]
• G-008 SOURCE CALIBRATION FOR THIS RELEASE -- card_number. Three catalogue sources were calibrated against a CODED set (Immaculate Ink) before any row was written, and all three FAILED: checklistcenter.com (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2024-25-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-card-checklist/) renders Immaculate Ink as '2 Damian Lillard ... 40 Ja Morant'; checklistinsider.com (https://www.checklistinsider.com/2024-25-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball) renders the identical 2..40 run and labels its whole page 'SUBJECT TO CHANGE'; sportscardspro.com (https://www.sportscardspro.com/console/basketball-cards-2024-panini-immaculate-ink?sort=model-number) also renders 2, 3, 4 ... . tcdb.com prints the real printed codes for the same 39 cards: INK-ADD, INK-AIV, INK-AZM ... (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/560431/2024-25-Panini-Immaculate-Collection---Immaculate-Ink). All three aggregators are therefore reproducing Panini's internal sequence, holes included (Immaculate Ink starts at 2; Immaculate Legends runs 1-20 skipping 3 and 7; Sophisticated Signatures runs 1-30 skipping 23). CONSEQUENCE: for this release only tcdb.com Checklist.cfm was used for card_number. The aggregators were used only to corroborate player rosters, which they do card-for-card.
• G-009 tcdb.com PLACEHOLDER-ORDINAL PAGES REJECTED. Several tcdb Checklist.cfm pages for this release store a bare contiguous ordinal run in the card-number column instead of the printed code -- the same internal sequence the aggregators use. Confirmed cases: Heralded Signatures (sid 564984, 39 cards numbered from 1) and Heralded Signatures Gold (sid 564986) while the sibling Heralded Signatures Red page (sid 564989) prints real HRS- codes for the same players; Premium Patch Autographs FOTL (sid 565063, 98 cards numbered from 2); Immaculate Champion Swatches (sid 565001, numbered from 2); Rookie Dual Logoman (sid 565101, numbered from 1). None of these ordinal runs was written. This is the placeholder behaviour CHASE_CHECKLIST_SPEC warns about, and it is detectable here because a colour parallel of the same set prints letter codes.
• G-010 NO USABLE CARD-NUMBER SOURCE -- 34 of the 51 non-base sets in sets.csv are unfilled. For each of these, tcdb.com either has no set page at all or has a page whose body reads 'The checklist for this set is not yet available', and every other source found (checklistcenter.com, checklistinsider.com, sportscardspro.com, gogts.net, cardsmithsbreaks.com) prints only the renumbered internal sequence documented in the calibration gap above. Player rosters ARE available from checklistcenter.com for all 34, but a roster without printed numbers is not a checklist and was not written. Unfilled sets (sets.csv card_count in brackets): Dual Autographs (41); Dual Logoman Autographs (26); Immaculate Aura Signatures (15); Immaculate Award Winners (10); Immaculate Championship Runs (10); Immaculate Rookie Introductions (20); Immaculate Signature Moves (18); Immaculate Signatures (20); Immaculate Signatures Red (11); International Notoriety Signatures (9); Jumbo Basketball Autographs (10); Jumbo Sponsor Patch Autographs (21); Logoman Autographs (56); Lottery Draft Booklet Triple Auto Relics (3); Modern Marks (39); Modern Marks Red (31); Patch Autographs (56); Patch Autographs Blue (29); Patch Autographs Jersey Number (48); Premium Patch Autographs (98); Premium Patch Autographs Blue (67); Premium Patch Autographs International Red (79); Premium Patch Autographs International Green (90); Quad Autographs (8); Retro Patch Autographs (29); Retro Premium Patch Autographs (28); Retro Premium Patch Autographs Platinum (21); Rookie Jumbo Brand Logo Autographs (25); Rookie Championship Tags Autographs (24); Shadowbox Signatures (35); Showcase Booklet (4); Sneaker Swatches Signatures (49); Treasured Signatures (2); Triple Autographs (14). This is a coverage gap driven by the release's recency -- 2024-25 Immaculate shipped 2025-09-24 and tcdb's contributor coverage of its autograph subsets is still mostly empty.
• G-011 PARTIAL FILLS -- 12 of the 17 filled sets are short of their sets.csv card_count because tcdb renders the literal string 'TBD' in the card-number column for cards whose printed code has not been catalogued yet. Rows written vs sets.csv count: Canvas Creations Signatures International 10/24 (14 TBD, incl. one rendered as the literal 'CCS-TBD' for Jaden Ivey); Heralded Signatures 28/39 (the 11 not in the Red parallel -- Percy Miller, Josh Hart, Myles Turner, Brook Lopez, Lance Stephenson, Ray Allen, Kristaps Porzingis, David Robinson, Steve Francis, Yuta Watanabe, God Shammgod -- have no code source at all); Illustrious Ink International 15/23 (8 TBD); Immaculate All-Pro Lineage 9/10 (Nikola Jokic TBD); Immaculate Ink 35/39 (Tony Parker, Dwyane Wade, Myles Turner, Jusuf Nurkic TBD); Immaculate Ink Red 27/30 (Myles Turner, Jusuf Nurkic TBD; Karl Malone is TBD on the Red page but INK-KML on the base page -- not written here, since a carried-over code is an inference rather than a sourced reading); Rookie Autographs International 37/40 (Pacome Dadiet TBD plus the RAI-CAM collision below); Sophisticated Signatures 26/29 (Allan Houston, Tony Parker, Norman Powell TBD); Sophisticated Signatures Red 20/22 (Allan Houston, Norman Powell TBD); Statements Signatures 14/15 (Chauncey Billups TBD); Victory Signatures 18/20 (Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker TBD). Complete sets: Rookie Patch Autographs 40/40, Rookie Patches 13/13, Clutch Time Signatures 19/19, Immaculate Legends 18/18, Immaculate Milestones 9/9, Jubilee Signatures 9/9.
• G-012 CARD-NUMBER COLLISION ON tcdb -- Rookie Autographs International. https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/565097/2024-25-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Rookie-Autographs-International gives the code 'RAI-CAM' to BOTH Cam Christie (Los Angeles Clippers) and Cam Spencer (Memphis Grizzlies). Both players are genuinely in the 40-card set per checklistcenter.com (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2024-25-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-card-checklist/, entries 22 and 10), so at least one of the two codes is wrong. Neither row was written, because a wrong identifier is worse than a missing one and (set_name, card_number) has to stay a usable key. Needs a marketplace listing for either card to resolve.
• G-013 VERBATIM ANOMALY KEPT AS PRINTED -- Immaculate Legends card 'iL-DEM' (DeMarcus Cousins). tcdb renders this one code with a lower-case leading i while the other 17 in the set are 'IL-'. A narrow verbatim re-fetch of https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/565007/2024-25-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Immaculate-Legends, asking for the card-number column quoted character for character, returned "iL-DEM" again, so this is what the source actually stores rather than a summarisation artefact. Written unaltered per the no-case-fixing rule. Almost certainly a tcdb data-entry typo for 'IL-DEM'; a resolver may want a case-insensitive fallback here.
• G-014 SET-NAME DISCREPANCIES between sets.csv and tcdb.com for sets that are otherwise identical card-for-card, recorded rather than 'tidied': sets.csv 'Statements Signatures' vs tcdb 'Statement Signatures' (singular) -- same 15 players, tcdb sid 565146; checklistcenter.com uses the sets.csv spelling. sets.csv 'Immaculate All-Pro Lineage' vs tcdb 'Immaculate All Pro Lineage' (no hyphen) -- same 10 players, tcdb sid 564995. sets.csv 'Lottery Draft Booklet Triple Auto Relics' vs tcdb 'Lottery Draft Booklet' (sid 565040, no checklist). sets.csv 'Logoman Autographs' co-exists on tcdb with a separate plain 'Logoman' set (sid 565038, no checklist) -- unresolved whether that is the same set or a distinct memorabilia insert. No sets.csv row was changed.
• G-015 CARD-COUNT CONTRADICTION -- Illustrious Ink International. checklistcenter.com (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2024-25-panini-immaculate-collection-basketball-card-checklist/) heads the section '23 Cards - Serial Numbered #/24 or as Noted (*No VanVleet)' but then lists 24 player lines, the extra one being Fred VanVleet (Houston Rockets, entry 18, asterisked). tcdb.com (sid 564990) carries 23 cards and does NOT include VanVleet. sets.csv's 23 therefore agrees with tcdb; VanVleet's status in this set is unresolved and no VanVleet row was written.
• G-016 TEAM SLOGANS -- REVISITING G-001 AGAINST tcdb, AS INSTRUCTED. tcdb.com DOES carry a set entry '2024-25 Panini Immaculate Collection - Team Slogans' at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/565154/2024-25-Panini-Immaculate-Collection (found by an exhaustive sweep of the release's alphabetically-ordered tcdb sid block 564972-565175; the neighbours are 'Swatches Red' 565153 and 'The Standard' 565155). So the set is NOT a pure phantom this season: an independent cataloguer has created a record for it, which corroborates checklistcenter.com's 14-card Team Slogans section that G-001 rejected as single-source. HOWEVER the tcdb page body reads 'The checklist for this set is not yet available' -- zero cards -- so it cannot be used to fill anything, and no sets.csv row was added (out of scope for this pass, and sets.csv is not writable here). RECOMMENDATION: G-001 should be re-opened for a sets.csv decision on the strength of the tcdb record, and re-checked once tcdb populates the checklist. The same cross-season pattern was reported for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 siblings.
• G-017 tcdb SUBSETS WITH NO sets.csv ROW -- 33 found, far more than the 6-7 expected per season, because sets.csv for this release was built from checklistcenter.com, whose section list omits the memorabilia-only (non-autograph) inserts entirely. NO SETS WERE ADDED. Found by sweeping tcdb's sid block for this release; all URLs are https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/<sid>/2024-25-Panini-Immaculate-Collection . With checklists populated: Draft Combine Memorabilia (564978, 37, DCM-); Extraterrestrial (564983, 6); Illustrious Memorabilia International (564993, 23, IM-); Immaculate Blockchain (564998, 20, IBC-); Immaculate Champion Swatches (565001, 12); Immaculate Dual Mem (565005, 23, IDM-); Immaculate Quad Mem (565009, 9, IQM-); Immaculate Rookie Memorabilia International (565012, 30, IRM-); Immaculate Triple Mem (565021, 14, ITM-); Immaculate Veteran Memorabilia International (565023, 21, IVM-); Jumbo Patches - Nameplate Nobility (565037, 37, JP-); Massive Memorabilia (565042, 47, MM-); Materials (565046, 33, MAT-); Pristine Patches (565066, 19, PP-); Remarkable Jerseys (565070, 20, RJ-); Remarkable Rookie Jerseys (565074, 35, RRJ-) plus its Dual/Triple/Quad sub-sets (RJD-/RJT-/RJQ-); Rookie Dual Logoman (565101, 15); Rookie Jumbo Basketballs (565102, 15, RBB-); Rookie Reserve International (565111, 20, RR-); Sneaker Swatches (565125, 15, SS-); Special Event Materials (565141, 10, SEM-); Standout Memorabilia (565142, 15, SM-); Swatches (565150, 33, SWA-); The Standard (565155, 38, TST-); Treasure Chest (565156, 3, TS-); Virtuoso Autographs (565170 Gold, 30, VA-). Catalogued but with no checklist yet: Brand Logos (564972); Insignias (565025); Logoman (565038); Patches Jersey Number (565062); Rookie Patches Logoman (565110); Sneak Peek - Brand Logo / Heel Logo / Laces (565121-565123); Team Slogans (565154, see separate gap). An eBay catalogue entry independently corroborates one of these codes: '2024-25 Panini Immaculate Collection - Jumbo Patches Jared McCain #JP-JMC Jersey Number /50' (https://www.ebay.com/p/17086337537). Deciding whether these belong in sets.csv is a sets-level call, not a checklist call.
• G-018 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. OUTCOME FOR THIS RELEASE: ZERO ROWS RECOVERED, and that is the honest result -- none of this season's shortfalls is a truncation shortfall. Every set named as a candidate for this sweep (Canvas Creations Signatures International 10/24, Heralded Signatures 28/39, Illustrious Ink International 15/23, Immaculate Ink 35/39, Rookie Autographs International 37/40, Immaculate Ink Red 27/30, Sophisticated Signatures 26/29, Sophisticated Signatures Red 20/22, Victory Signatures 18/20, Statements Signatures 14/15, Immaculate All-Pro Lineage 9/10) is far shorter than tcdb's truncation band, and G-011 already attributes each shortfall to the literal string 'TBD' in tcdb's card-number column rather than to a cut page. Two of them were verified against Gallery.cfm rather than assumed: Heralded Signatures Red (https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/564989/2024-25-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Heralded-Signatures-Red?PageIndex=3) states 'Total Cards: 28' and its last page renders exactly the 8 HRS- codes that complete the 28 already written -- the set is COMPLETE at 28 on tcdb and the 39 in sets.csv counts eleven players whose codes tcdb simply does not carry; and Rookie Autographs International (https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/565097/2024-25-Panini-Immaculate-Collection-Rookie-Autographs-International?PageIndex=4) states 'Total Cards: 40' and its last page ends '"TBD" - Pacome Dadiet', matching G-011 exactly. Errors.cfm was the only other hope for those TBD tokens and it returned 'no entries' for both Immaculate Ink (sid 560431) and Heralded Signatures Red (sid 564989). No row was written and no existing row was touched.
