Notes

UNNUMBERED, WRITTEN ON A POSITIVE DISCRIMINATIVE TEST AND NOT ON ABSENCE OF A FIGURE (EXTRACTION_SPEC 6). tcdb sid 370002 "2022-23 Panini Impeccable - Asia" states Total Cards "140" and renders NO serial token on any row of cards 1-100, while rendering "AU, MEM, SN88" on every sampled row of cards 101-140 OF THE SAME SUBSET. Three independent controls make this a positive test rather than a data-entry gap: (a) WITHIN-SID - the same cataloguer, the same set, the same page-set, entered a serial token on the block rows and none on the base rows; (b) SAME-SCOPE SIBLINGS - all eight other base parallels of this release render a uniform token on cards 1-100 (Silver "SN75", Gold "SN49", Green "SN30", Holo Silver "SN20", Holo Gold "SN10", Platinum "SN1", Asia Red "SN8", Asia Red and Gold "SN1"), each read through the SAME ViewSet.cfm first-rows ask that returned no token for this tier; (c) SAME-NAME ELSEWHERE - tcdb renders "SN88" on all 40 rows of the set-scope "Rookie Autographs Asia" (sid 370101) and on the block rows here, so the renderer emits Asia serials wherever they apply. NO SOURCE CONTRADICTS: cardboardconnection lists the tier as the bare item "Base Asia" inside "ASIA PARALLELS: Base Asia, Red #/8, Red & Gold 1/1." and checklistcenter as "Base Asia; Red #/8; Red & Gold 1/1", neither giving a figure. THIS REVERSES TWO CONSECUTIVE SEASONS. impeccable-bkb-2020-21 (its G-023) and impeccable-bkb-2021-22 (its G-017) each REMOVED this row and gapped it, because their probe of the set-scope analogue returned "SN88" on every row and made unnumbered demonstrably FALSE. That probe could only be run on a different set because tcdb catalogued no base Asia subset in those seasons; this season it does, and the probe run on the tier ITSELF comes out the opposite way. The competing hypothesis - that tcdb simply has not entered serials for these 100 rows - is stated and rejected in gaps G-006, which also records what would overturn this value. A marketplace read of a plain base Asia serial was attempted and NOT obtained; the session fetch limit was reached before it could be completed.
