2021-22 Impeccable

• G-001 base_set_size=100 EXCLUDES parent-checklist cards 101-140, which every one carry tcdb flags "AU, MEM, RC, SN99" and are the 40-card Elegance Rookie Jersey Autographs set (EXTRACTION_SPEC 5.3 exclusion rule). The shape was checked independently of the sibling releases: Checklist.cfm?PageIndex=2 renders exactly 40 rows, 101 Cade Cunningham through 140 Scottie Lewis, all flagged; PageIndex=3 renders no checklist rows, so 140 is the real end and the parent's Total Cards "140" was not used to size it. This season matches 2020-21 (140, one 40-card block) and NOT 2019-20 (180, two 40-card blocks). CONVENTION DIVERGENCE INSIDE THIS CATALOGUE, re-measured against the repo this pass: contenders-bkb-2019-20 base_set_size=165 (INCLUDES its 101-165 autographs) and contenders-bkb-2021-22 base_set_size=165 (INCLUDES) - the SAME SEASON as this release - while contenders-bkb-2020-21, contenders-bkb-2022-23, contenders-bkb-2023-24, contendersoptic-bkb-2019-20, contendersoptic-bkb-2020-21, impeccable-bkb-2019-20 and impeccable-bkb-2020-21 all EXCLUDE. Nothing in a release row tells a consumer which convention it is under.

• G-002 A CEILING OR A TWO-VALUE RANGE IS NOT A PRINT RUN, AND ON THIS RELEASE tcdb EXPLAINS WHY. 20 set-scope parallel rows carry print_run=UNKNOWN because the tier is a MIXED PER-CARD TIER: tcdb renders two different SN tokens across the rows of one subset. Measured, subset by subset: Canvas Creations Holo Silver "SN25" x20 / "SN10" x1; Canvas Creations Holo Gold "SN10" x19 / "SN5" x1; Elegance Retired Holo Silver "SN10" and "SN25"; Elegance Retired Holo Gold "SN10" x9 / "SN5" x1; Elegance Veteran Holo Silver "SN25" x5 / "SN10" x2; Elegance Veteran Holo Gold "SN10" x5 / "SN5" x2; Extravagance Holo Silver "SN25" x22 / "SN10" x1; Extravagance Holo Gold "SN10" x22 / "SN5" x1; Illustrious Ink Holo Silver "SN25" x34 / "SN10" x1; Illustrious Ink Holo Gold "SN10" x34 / "SN5" x1; Immortal Ink Holo Silver "SN25" x34 / "SN10" x2; Immortal Ink Holo Gold "SN10" x33 / "SN5" x2; Impeccable Selections Holo Silver "SN25" x17 / "SN10" x10; Impeccable Selections Holo Gold "SN10" x18 / "SN5" x9; Impeccable Stars Signatures Holo Silver "SN25" x17 / "SN10" x3; Impeccable Stars Signatures Holo Gold "SN10" x19 / "SN5" x2; Impeccable Victory Holo Silver "SN25" x22 / "SN10" x5; Impeccable Victory Holo Gold "SN10" x22 / "SN5" x4; Stainless Stars Autographs Blue "SN75" x19 / "SN49" x6; Stainless Stars Autographs Purple "SN49" x16 / "SN35" x5. THIS IS A FINDING, NOT A COVERAGE HOLE: it establishes that cardboardconnection's "#/25 or #/10" strings are describing a real mixed tier rather than hedging an unknown, and that its PLAIN "#/25" strings for the same tier shape are simply wrong (G-004). Older catalogue rows (Contenders Ticket Stub 77, Elite Red/Aspirations/Status 99) wrote the ceiling instead; a repair pass is expected.

• G-003 THE SCHEMA CANNOT EXPRESS "SERIAL NUMBERED, RUN UNKNOWN" and that is the true state of the 20 mixed-tier rows listed in G-002, plus the 2 refused Elegance Rookie Jersey Autographs Holo rows in G-012. Every one of them is PROVABLY serial numbered - tcdb prints an SN token on literally every row of those subsets - but the forced pairing of print_run and serial_numbered collapses them to UNKNOWN/UNKNOWN, indistinguishable from "we found nothing at all". Recorded here because the CSV cannot carry it. This is the same expressiveness gap impeccable-bkb-2019-20 (its G-001, 21 rows) and impeccable-bkb-2020-21 (its G-003, 20 rows) recorded, and it has now recurred on three consecutive seasons of one line.

• G-004 CARDBOARDCONNECTION FAILED THE PER-SET-TYPE CALIBRATION (EXTRACTION_SPEC 3.3) ON THIS RELEASE, in four distinct ways, and its parallel figures are therefore used only where tcdb corroborates them. (a) PLAIN FIGURE FOR A MIXED TIER: it prints "PARALLEL CARDS: Holo Silver #/25, Holo Gold #/10, Platinum 1/1." for Canvas Creations, Elegance Retired Jersey Autographs and Elegance Veteran Jersey Autographs; tcdb shows all three Holo Silver and all three Holo Gold tiers to be MIXED per-card tiers (G-002). Three of three tested. (b) ONE PARALLEL LINE COVERING TWO DIFFERENT SETS: under the heading "Stainless Stars" it prints "PARALLEL CARDS: Blue #/75 or #/49, Purple #/49 or #/35, Orange #/25, Asia Red #/18, Gold #/10, Platinum 1/1." The ranges are real but belong to STAINLESS STARS AUTOGRAPHS (Blue "SN75"/"SN49", Purple "SN49"/"SN35", Asia Red "SN18"), while the unsigned Stainless Stars tiers are uniform "SN75", "SN49", "SN30", "SN10", "SN1". The line conflates the two sets. (c) A FIGURE CONTRADICTED OUTRIGHT: it states Stainless Stars "Orange #/25"; tcdb renders "SN30" on every row of sid 312310, confirmed by a narrow verbatim re-fetch returning "1 LeBron James SN30 Los Angeles Lakers" and "25 Davion Mitchell SN30 Sacramento Kings". tcdb is written and the row is value_contested=yes. (d) FETCH INSTABILITY ON THE SAME URL: a structured per-set pass returned TWO sections headed "Impeccable Victory Signatures" carrying "27 cards." and "25 cards." and returned NO "Indelible Ink" heading at all; tcdb and checklistcenter both give Victory 27 and Indelible Ink 25, so the 25 is Indelible Ink's count under the wrong heading. WHERE IT PASSES IT IS USED: its Platinum "1/1" claims match a uniform "SN1" on 8 of 8 probed Platinum subsets, and its Impeccable Impressions figures match the tcdb flags exactly.

• G-005 FIVE SETS HAVE NO PARALLEL ROWS AT ALL AND THE ABSENCE IS EVIDENCED, NOT UNRESOLVED: Impeccable Draft Pick Autographs, Impeccable Jersey Number Autographs, Impeccable NBA 75th Anniversary Autographs, Impeccable Stats Autographs and Gold NBA Logo. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists 105 subsets under this parent and not one is a parallel of any of those five (their sids 312259, 312264, 312265, 312274 and 312250 each stand alone between two unrelated parent sets in the contiguous sid block), and cardboardconnection prints no "PARALLEL CARDS:" line for any of them. The first four are also sets whose every row carries its own SN token, i.e. the base tier itself is per-card numbered. Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/301282/2021-22-Panini-Impeccable ; https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-nba-cards ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312259/x ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312274/x
• G-006 SEVEN PRIOR-SEASON SUBSETS SHIPPED INSIDE THIS PRODUCT (EXTRACTION_SPEC 5.5): tcdb files under this 2021-22 parent the sets "2020-21 Award-Winning Autographs" (sid 312209, 3 cards), "2020-21 Panini Impeccable Update I: Canvas Creations" (312211, 1), "...: Extravagance Autographs" (312215, 1), "...: Illustrious Ink" (312219, 1), "...: Immortal Ink" (312223, 2), "...: Impeccable Shots Signatures" (312227, 1) and "2020-21 Spectra Hall of Fame Signatures" (312231, 12). They are listed in sets.csv under their verbatim tcdb names and flagged. CODE COLLISION RISK: the blocks reuse CC-, EA-, IL-, IS- and SH- prefixes that 2021-22 sets in this same release also use - e.g. Update I "IL-KMC Kevin McHale" against this season's Illustrious Ink "IL-ABG Andrea Bargnani", and Update I "IS-PJT P.J. Tucker" against this season's Impeccable Stats Autographs IS- codes. NOTE THE MIRROR CASE (EXTRACTION_SPEC 5.5): impeccable-bkb-2020-21 records TEN "2019-20 Panini Impeccable Update I:" subsets under ITS parent, so this line ships an Update block one season late every year, and a "2021-22 Panini Impeccable Update I" block should be expected under the 2022-23 parent, where an agent reading only its own parent sid will never see it. ALSO UNRESOLVED: no "Update II" block was found under this parent. Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/301282/2021-22-Panini-Impeccable ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312211/x ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312227/x ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312231/x
• G-007 NO TCDB SID EXISTS FOR ANY BASE-SET PARALLEL OF THIS RELEASE. tcdb Inserts.cfm renders all 105 subsets (contiguous sids 312208-312312, a complete listing with no truncation) and none is named plainly "Silver", "Gold", "Green", "Holo Silver", "Holo Gold" or "Platinum"; the Silver NBA Logo / Gold NBA Logo / Silver Draft Logo / Silver Dual NBA 75th Annivesary Logo entries are separate manufactured-metal insert sets, not base parallels. The eight base-scope parallel rows therefore rest entirely on aggregators, with no structural confirmation and no card-level roster. This repeats the 2020-21 structure exactly (its G-007) and differs from impeccable-bkb-2019-20, where each base parallel had its own sid (Silver 228099, Gold 228095, Holo Silver 228097).

• G-008 TWO SOURCES MAY BE ONE OPINION (EXTRACTION_SPEC 5.4). cardboardconnection and checklistcenter agree near-verbatim on the base parallel line ("PARALLEL CARDS: Silver #/75, Gold #/49, Green #/35, Holo Silver #/25, Holo Gold #/10, Platinum 1/1." against "Silver #/75; Gold #/49; Green #/35; Holo Silver #/25; Holo Gold #/10; Platinum 1/1"), on the Asia line, on the base set line and on every set card count, differing only in punctuation and in the words "Set"/"Autographs"/"Auto Set" in set names. They copy each other in this catalogue. Beckett is unreachable (it 302s to a maintenance page), so no third structural source was available for the base parallels - and unlike every set-scope tier in this release, the base tiers have no tcdb subset to check them against (G-007). THE EIGHT BASE-SCOPE FIGURES ARE THEREFORE THE LEAST CORROBORATED VALUES IN THIS RELEASE, and they sit in the one scope where the database forbids UNKNOWN. Evidence: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-nba-cards ; https://www.checklistcenter.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-card-checklist/
• G-009 CHANNEL IS UNSOURCED ON 59 OF 68 PARALLEL ROWS. No source states a trade channel for any parallel of this release; the only channel-adjacent statement found is the product configuration line "9 cards per pack, 1 pack per box, 3 boxes per case". channel=hobby with channel_basis=from-note is carried on those rows, matching impeccable-bkb-2020-21 (61 of 70 rows) and impeccable-bkb-2019-20 (all 53 rows), which used the identical basis. from-note explicitly means no real citation exists; do not promote to sourced-* without new evidence. The 9 exceptions: 2 base-scope Asia rows (sourced-presence, from the "ASIA PARALLELS:" heading), 4 set-scope Asia rows and 3 FOTL rows (all from-name, taken from the tcdb subset name). Evidence: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-nba-cards
• G-010 BASE-SCOPE ASIA PARALLEL NAMES ARE COMPOSED, NOT PRINTED. cardboardconnection prints the base-scope Asia tiers only as the heading "ASIA PARALLELS:" followed by the bare items "Base Asia, Red #/8, Red & Gold 1/1."; checklistcenter as "Base Asia; Red #/8; Red & Gold 1/1". The rows are therefore named "Asia Red" and "Asia Red & Gold"; no source prints those two strings as names. NOTE THE WORDING MOVED BETWEEN SEASONS: 2020-21 read "Base, Red #/8, Red & Gold 1/1." and 2021-22 reads "Base Asia, Red #/8, Red & Gold 1/1." - the plain tier is now called "Base Asia", which is why the refused row in G-017 is named that way there. tcdb names the analogous SET-scope tiers "Rookie Autographs Asia", "Rookie Autographs Asia Red" and "Rookie Autographs Asia Red and Gold" - note "and" rather than "&", so this release carries both spellings in different scopes and the two strings are correctly NOT marked scope_ambiguous with each other.

• G-011 TCDB HEADERS DISAGREE WITH RENDERED ROWS ON SIX SETS AND SUBSETS (EXTRACTION_SPEC 3.2 - treat as a question, not an answer). Canvas Creations: header "Total Cards: 21", 19 rows rendered. Illustrious Ink: header "35", 34 rendered. Indelible Ink: header "25", 20 rendered. Impeccable Stars Signatures Holo Silver: header "21", token counts summing to 20. Illustrious Ink Platinum: header "34" against "35" for its own parent set. Impeccable Victory Signatures Platinum: header "24" against "27" for its own parent set. The card_counts written are 21, 35 and 25, because cardboardconnection and checklistcenter both state those figures, but the rendered-row shortfalls are unexplained and may be fetch-layer truncation rather than missing data; the two SUBSET/parent mismatches are internal to tcdb and cannot be fetch truncation on the parent. THE SAME DEFECT SHAPE APPEARS IN BOTH SIBLING SEASONS (impeccable-bkb-2020-21 G-011; impeccable-bkb-2019-20 G-005 and G-006), so it is a property of this line on tcdb rather than a one-off.

• G-012 REFUSED TO WRITE TWO FIGURES A SOURCE STATES. The Elegance Rookie Jersey Autographs set sits inside the parent checklist as cards 101-140 with no sid of its own, so tcdb has no serial-flag column for its parallels and cardboardconnection is the only source: "PARALLEL CARDS: Holo Silver #/25, Holo Gold #/10, Platinum 1/1." THE HOLO FIGURES ARE NOT WRITTEN. cardboardconnection prints that identical string for Canvas Creations, Elegance Retired Jersey Autographs and Elegance Veteran Jersey Autographs, and tcdb shows every one of those six Holo tiers to be a MIXED per-card tier (G-002, G-004) - so the source fails calibration on precisely this field and does not get to answer it here (EXTRACTION_SPEC 3.3). Holo Silver and Holo Gold are written UNKNOWN/UNKNOWN. THE PLATINUM FIGURE IS WRITTEN, on the opposite reasoning: cardboardconnection PASSES calibration on Platinum tiers of this product, with all 8 probed tcdb Platinum subsets rendering "SN1" uniformly and its "Platinum 1/1" matching every time. TO RESOLVE: a marketplace card of an Elegance Rookie Jersey Autographs Holo Silver or Holo Gold whose serial can be read, or a source that distinguishes the tier card by card. Note impeccable-bkb-2020-21 wrote 25 and 10 for the analogous rows of ITS inline block (its G-012) on cardboardconnection alone, without this calibration test; that is a convention divergence against this release. Evidence: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-nba-cards ; https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/301282/2021-22-Panini-Impeccable?PageIndex=2 ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312236/x ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312240/x ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312244/x
• G-013 NO PANINI BLOCKCHAIN DIGITAL SETS EXIST UNDER THIS PARENT, CHECKED EXPLICITLY. tcdb Inserts.cfm renders all 105 subsets (sids 312208-312312, contiguous and complete) and not one name begins with "BC ", the prefix those sets carry. This is a REAL STRUCTURAL CHANGE from the sibling season, not an unchecked assumption: impeccable-bkb-2020-21 found 18 such sets across 48 sids (273536-273583) under its parent and excluded them from sets.csv (its G-016). Recorded so a later digital pass knows this season was looked at and had none, rather than assuming it was skipped. Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/301282/2021-22-Panini-Impeccable
• G-014 CHANNEL CONVENTION DIVERGENCE AGAINST THE 2019-20 SIBLING, UNCHANGED FROM LAST SEASON. This release files the three FOTL parallels (Silver Draft Logo FOTL, Silver Dual NBA 75th Annivesary Logo FOTL, Silver NBA Logo FOTL) as channel=FOTL with channel_class=promotion by the EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.3 derived map, channel_sku=FOTL and channel_basis=from-name. impeccable-bkb-2019-20 files its own FOTL row as channel=hobby, channel_class=box-type, channel_sku=FOTL. FOTL is an explicit enum value in the spec and "hobby" is the near-miss the spec warns against, so this release follows the spec, as impeccable-bkb-2020-21 already did (its G-014). The 2019-20 row is left untouched and the divergence is re-recorded here because it is still unrepaired: one line now answers "what channel is FOTL?" two different ways across three seasons. Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/301282/2021-22-Panini-Impeccable ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312297/x ; https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-nba-cards
• G-015 rookie_flag IS UNKNOWN ON ALL 100 BASE CARDS, RE-DERIVED FROM THIS SEASON'S OWN EVIDENCE. tcdb prints no (RC) token on any row 1-100 of the parent checklist while printing "RC" on every one of rows 101-140 of the SAME parent checklist - so the renderer is demonstrably capable of the token and is not emitting it on the base run. But the entire 2021 draft class sits inside the base run at 81-100 (81 Cade Cunningham, 82 Jalen Green, 83 Scottie Barnes, 84 Evan Mobley, 85 Josh Giddey, 86 Jonathan Kuminga, 87 Davion Mitchell, 88 Franz Wagner, 89 James Bouknight, 90 Ziaire Williams, 91 Joshua Primo, 92 Chris Duarte, 93 Corey Kispert, 94 Moses Moody, 95 Alperen Sengun, 96 Trey Murphy III, 97 Tre Mann, 98 Bones Hyland, 99 Jalen Johnson, 100 Jalen Suggs), so writing "no" would be false, and "yes" is not shown by any source. Same conclusion as both sibling seasons but reached from this season's pages, not copied: the 2021-22 rookie block sits at 81-100 where the 2020-21 one sat at 81-100 and the 2019-20 ones did not exist as a contiguous run.

• G-016 SPEC CLAIM RE-MEASURED AND CONFIRMED, WITH ONE ADDITION. EXTRACTION_SPEC 3.2 says Checklist.cfm?PageIndex paginates 100/page while the fetch layer truncates each page around rows 74-86. Measured here: page 1 delivered rows 1-75 across three bounded asks (1-40, 41-60, 61-75), and a fourth ask for 76-100 returned "the page content provided ends mid-table... The last complete card entry visible in the provided content is card 74 (Kemba Walker), after which the content is cut off with 'New Yo'" - i.e. the truncation is real, it is at row 74-75, and the layer correctly reported it as truncation rather than as the end of the set this time. Rows 76-100 were recovered from Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=8-10, and the 71-75 overlap matched the Checklist rows exactly. THE ADDITION THE SPEC DOES NOT YET CARRY: a 30-row ask ("rows 41 through 70") was REFUSED outright on copyright grounds - "I need to decline reproducing rows 41-70 of the checklist table exactly as rendered" - while a 20-row ask that ENUMERATED the wanted card numbers ("for card numbers 41, 42, ... 60 only, state for each...") succeeded immediately on the same page. The working variable is not only the row count but the SHAPE of the ask: enumerate the numbers and request one line per card. The spec's "bounded ~30-row asks succeeded" is therefore not reliable on its own.

• G-017 A SOURCED BASE-SET PARALLEL THAT THE SCHEMA CANNOT HOLD, SO IT IS RECORDED HERE INSTEAD OF BEING GUESSED. cardboardconnection lists the base set's Asia tiers as "ASIA PARALLELS: Base Asia, Red #/8, Red & Gold 1/1." and checklistcenter as "Base Asia; Red #/8; Red & Gold 1/1" - so a plain Asia base parallel EXISTS (sourced by two sources), beside two siblings that carry figures, and neither source states its print run. migrations/003_parallels.sql forbids print_run=UNKNOWN on a base-set row, so the row could not be written and has been OMITTED from parallels.csv; the other two base-scope Asia rows (Asia Red #/8, Asia Red & Gold 1/1) are unaffected. WRITING unnumbered/no WAS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED, AND A POSITIVE DISCRIMINATIVE PROBE SHOWS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FALSE, NOT MERELY UNSUPPORTED: the set-scope analogue of this exact tier, tcdb sid 312284 "2021-22 Panini Impeccable - Rookie Autographs Asia", states Total Cards "39" and renders "AU, SN88" on EVERY one of its 39 rows ("RA-ALS Alperen Sengun AU, SN88"). On this product a plain Asia tier that an aggregator lists with no figure is SERIAL NUMBERED; the missing figure is an omission by the aggregator, not an assertion of absence. EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.1 is directly on point: "Absence of a figure in a checklist is not a statement of fact." THIS IS THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE SEASON THE SAME ROW HAS BEEN LOST THE SAME WAY - impeccable-bkb-2020-21 G-023 records the identical finding, with the identical probe result (SN88 on all 40 rows of ITS Rookie Autographs Asia, sid 273634). A defect that recurs unchanged across two builds of one line is a schema problem, not an agent problem. TO RESOLVE: find a source stating the base Asia tier's print run, or a marketplace card of it whose serial can be read. The set-scope tier is #/88 in both seasons, so #/88 is the figure to test for first, but a base-scope figure must NOT be inferred from a set-scope one.

• G-018 NO PACK ODDS FOUND for any set in this release. Neither cardboardconnection nor checklistcenter publishes stated odds for 2021-22 Impeccable, and tcdb does not carry odds. Every stated_odds, odds_evidence_url and odds_evidence_quote is therefore empty on all 31 sets.csv rows and all 68 parallels.csv rows, and every scarcity_tier is empty rather than guessed.

"licensed (NBA/NBPA)" is carried forward from impeccable-bkb-2019-20 and impeccable-bkb-2020-21, on the basis that the product is an NBA-team-licensed set with on-card player autographs; no page fetched in this pass states a licence in words. licensed=yes and league=NBA are supported by every card row carrying an NBA team, and league=NBA was given by the task prompt.

• G-020 SEVENTEEN PARALLEL SUBSETS OF THE PRIOR-SEASON BLOCKS ARE NOT WRITTEN, DELIBERATELY, AND ARE ENUMERATED HERE SO A LATER PASS CAN DO THEM IN ONE SHOT. tcdb gives each 2020-21-dated block listed in G-006 its own parallel subsets under this parent: 2020-21 Award-Winning Autographs Gold (sid 312210) and Gold Vinyl (312208); Update I: Canvas Creations Holo Gold (312212), Holo Silver (312213), Platinum (312214); Update I: Extravagance Autographs Holo Gold (312216), Holo Silver (312217), Platinum (312218); Update I: Illustrious Ink Holo Gold (312220), Holo Silver (312221), Platinum (312222); Update I: Immortal Ink Holo Gold (312224), Holo Silver (312225), Platinum (312226); Update I: Impeccable Shots Signatures Holo Gold (312228), Holo Silver (312229), Platinum (312230); 2020-21 Spectra Hall of Fame Signatures Gold (312232) and Gold Vinyl (312233). Their existence is fully evidenced by Inserts.cfm; their print runs were NOT probed. They are omitted rather than written UNKNOWN because their scope is a prior-season set, matching the convention impeccable-bkb-2020-21 applied to its own ten Update I blocks. THIS IS A KNOWN COVERAGE BOUNDARY, NOT AN OVERSIGHT: writing them costs 17 ViewSet.cfm fetches and would yield real integers, since every other Platinum subset in this release renders "SN1" uniformly.

• G-021 sets.csv CANNOT HOLD A SET'S OWN PRINT RUN (EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.2) AND NINE SETS HERE HAVE ONE. Read off the uniform tcdb SN token on their rows, and corroborated in words by cardboardconnection where noted: Base Set #/99 (this one IS captured, in release.base_print_run); Elegance Rookie Jersey Autographs #/99 ("40 cards. Serial numbered #/99."); Impeccable Impressions Signatures #/99 ("39 cards. Serial numbered #/99."); Rookie Autographs #/99 ("39 cards. Serial numbered #/99."); Stainless Stars #/99; Stainless Stars Autographs #/99; Silver NBA Logo #/20 ("60 cards. Serial numbered #/20."); Silver Draft Logo #/20 ("25 cards. Serial numbered #/20."); Silver Dual NBA 75th Annivesary Logo #/20 ("15 cards. Serial numbered #/20."); Gold NBA Logo #/5 ("30 cards. Serial numbered #/5."). Each figure is recorded in the set's notes IN WORDS as the spec directs, and NONE was written into card_count, which means how many cards. This is the same structural loss impeccable-bkb-2019-20 recorded as its G-015.

• G-022 A TCDB MISSPELLING IS CARRIED VERBATIM INTO set_name AND MUST NOT BE TIDIED. tcdb names sid 312293 "2021-22 Panini Impeccable - Silver Dual NBA 75th Annivesary Logo" - "Annivesary", missing the second "r" - and names its two parallel subsets the same way (312294 FOTL, 312295 Holo Gold). Both aggregators spell it correctly: cardboardconnection "Silver Dual NBA 75th Anniversary Logo", checklistcenter "Silver Dual NBA 75th Anniversary Logo Set". set_name follows tcdb because names are what sources print and a resolver has to match them (CLAUDE.md hard prohibition 3), and the correct spelling is recorded here and in the set's notes so a slug alias can be built. NOTE the correctly-spelled string "Impeccable NBA 75th Anniversary Autographs" also exists in this release as a different set.

• G-023 CARD-LEVEL CHECKLISTS FOR ALL 30 NON-BASE SETS ARE OUT OF SCOPE for this pass (CHASE_CHECKLIST_SPEC governs them). sets.csv records that each set exists with its card count; no insert_cards.csv was written. The per-set tcdb sids needed for that pass are recorded in each sets.csv row. TWO SETS WILL NEED CARE THERE: Impeccable Draft Pick Autographs renders under two numbering schemes in one table (plain integers such as "1 Ray Allen AU, SN5" alongside prefixed codes such as "DP-JKU Jonathan Kuminga AU, SN7"), and Gold NBA Logo has card numbers running to 59 across 30 cards while Impeccable Jersey Number Autographs runs to 20 across 18.

• G-024 THE FETCH LAYER INVENTED GLOSSES FOR TCDB FLAG TOKENS, THREE TIMES IN THIS PASS, AND TWICE IT CONTRADICTED ITSELF. Asked to report tokens without glossing them, it returned "UER (Unconfirmed Error Report)" on one fetch and "UER (Undesired Error Report)" on another - two different expansions of the same token, neither of which appears on the page - and glossed "SN8" as "(indicating 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver)", which is the metal-content annotation from a different column entirely. EXTRACTION_SPEC 3.3 already warns about this; it is recorded here as a fresh measurement with a self-contradicting pair, which is stronger evidence than a single confident gloss. ONLY THE LITERAL TOKEN STRINGS WERE USED in this build; no gloss was relied on for any value. The page's own annotation text "*UER: Missing hyphen between prefix and card number*" on row RATMU of the Rookie Autographs subsets is quoted as page content, not as a gloss.

• G-025 CROSS-SEASON STRUCTURE CHECKED FOR TEMPLATE-FILL (EXTRACTION_SPEC 4.5) AND FOUND TO BE GENUINELY DIFFERENT. (a) BASE PARALLEL FIGURES MOVED AGAIN, AND NO FIGURE WAS CARRIED ACROSS: Gold is #/49 in 2019-20, #/60 in 2020-21 and #/49 again here; Holo Silver #/25, #/35, #/25; and GREEN #/35 is new to 2021-22, appearing in neither sibling. Silver #/75, Holo Gold #/10 and Platinum 1/1 are stable across all three. A template would have repeated 2020-21's ladder. (b) SET INVENTORY MOVED: this season adds Impeccable Impressions Signatures, Impeccable Selections Signatures, Impeccable NBA 75th Anniversary Autographs and Silver Dual NBA 75th Annivesary Logo, and drops Award-Winning Autographs, Impeccable Hall of Fame Autographs, Impeccable Shots Signatures and Spectra Hall of Fame Signatures from the current-season run (the last two survive only as prior-season Update blocks, G-006). (c) INSERT COUNTS MOVED: Silver NBA Logo 49 -> 50 -> 60, Gold NBA Logo 14 -> 15 -> 30, Silver Draft Logo 20 -> 20 -> 25. (d) THE STRUCTURE THAT DID REPEAT WAS CHECKED, NOT ASSUMED: a 100-card base run at #/99 with one 40-card AU/MEM/RC block at 101-140 is identical to 2020-21, and was read off this season's own pages before the sibling was consulted. (e) A REAL STRUCTURAL BREAK: 105 subsets here against 165 in 2020-21, entirely because the 48 Panini Blockchain sids are gone (G-013). Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/301282/2021-22-Panini-Impeccable ; https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-nba-cards ; https://www.checklistcenter.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-card-checklist/
• G-026 THREE SETS ARE NAMED DIFFERENTLY BY tcdb AND BY BOTH AGGREGATORS, AND set_name FOLLOWS tcdb. (a) tcdb "Silver Draft Logo" (sid 312290) against cardboardconnection "Silver NBA Draft Logo" and checklistcenter "Silver NBA Draft Logo Set" - the aggregators insert "NBA". (b) tcdb "Impeccable NBA 75th Anniversary Autographs" (312265) against checklistcenter "Impeccable NBA 75th Anniversary Logo Auto Set" - checklistcenter inserts "Logo". (c) tcdb "Silver Dual NBA 75th Annivesary Logo" (312293) against both aggregators' correctly-spelled "Anniversary" (G-022). tcdb is followed because it is the structural source that also supplies the sid every later pass needs, but a resolver fed an aggregator name will miss all three. These are NAME divergences on sets whose CONTENTS match, which is the case EXTRACTION_SPEC 4.4 says card-level checks cannot catch. Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312290/x ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312265/x ; https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/312293/x ; https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-nba-cards ; https://www.checklistcenter.com/2021-22-panini-impeccable-basketball-card-checklist/
• G-027 A NEAR-MISS ON THE DISCRIMINATIVE TEST FOR "unnumbered", DECLINED. tcdb sid 312300 "2021-22 Panini Impeccable - Stainless Stars Asia Red" states Total Cards "25" and renders NO serial-number flag on any row ("1 LeBron James Los Angeles Lakers"), while rendering one on EVERY row of all five sibling tiers of the same set - Blue "SN75", Purple "SN49", Orange "SN30", Gold "SN10", Platinum "SN1". That is exactly the shape EXTRACTION_SPEC 6 describes as a positive discriminative test: a renderer that prints serial flags on comparable rows and prints none on these. IT WAS STILL DECLINED, because cardboardconnection positively states "Asia Red #/18" - and that same parallel line is PROVEN to conflate this set with Stainless Stars Autographs, whose Asia Red tier really is "SN18" on all 25 rows (G-004b). So the aggregator's figure may describe the sibling set, or may describe this one; the no-flag reading and the #/18 reading cannot be separated with what was fetched. print_run=UNKNOWN with value_contested=yes, which is legal at set scope. THIS IS THE CONVERSE OF G-017: there the schema forbade UNKNOWN and a sourced row was lost; here UNKNOWN is available and is the honest answer. TO RESOLVE: read a serial off a marketplace card of an unsigned Stainless Stars Asia Red.
