2021-22 Mosaic

• G-001 cardboardconnection.com (the spec's preferred primary source) could not be fetched for this release: every URL form (with/without www, trailing slash, /amp, r.jina.ai proxy) returned ROBOTS_DISALLOWED or 403. All parallel print runs and set counts therefore come from secondary sources.
• G-002 Release date disagreement: dacardworld, steelcitycollectibles, gogts.net and checklistcenter all state January 25, 2023; beckett.com's pre-release article states October 5, 2022 'subject to change'. Used 2023-01-25 (4 sources vs 1 pre-release estimate).
• G-003 Channel unverified for these base parallels - listed by checklist sites without any product-configuration attribution and not named in any retailer box description: Base Mosaic, Anniversary Edition, Genesis, Green, White Sparkle. Genesis is mentioned in dacardworld's blaster copy ('Ultra-Rare Mosaic Genesis Prizms') but exclusivity is not stated.

• G-004 'Base Mosaic' is listed as a member of the Mosaic parallel family by checklistcenter, cardsmithsbreaks and tradingcardmarket, but it is ambiguous whether this is a distinct parallel or simply the mosaic finish of the base card itself. Retained as a parallel row with UNKNOWN channel; needs disambiguation against a Panini sell sheet.

• G-005 Choice Red & Green (rookies only, unnumbered) is single-source: listed by checklistcenter only; tradingcardmarket's Choice list omits it. Print run and existence unconfirmed by a second source.
• G-006 All insert and autograph card counts trace to the checklistcenter / cardsmithsbreaks family of listings, which appear to share an upstream feed; they are not truly independent. Thunder Lane, Straight Fire, Swagger, Translucence and Fast Break Autographs counts are single-source (checklistcenter only). Beckett published no counts for this release.
• G-007 rookie_flag marked yes only for cards 201-245 (both tcdb and checklistcenter explicitly show RC there). Cards 261-280 (NBA Debut subset) picture first-year players; checklistcenter states they are separate from the RC subset and tcdb shows a subset tag rather than RC, so they are marked no. Whether Panini printed an RC logo on the NBA Debut cards is unverified.
• G-008 Base cards 283-300 (All-NBA tail and the Finals MVPs subset) are single-source: checklistcenter only. The tcdb checklist page truncated at card 282 in every fetch attempt, so the last 18 cards could not be cross-checked. Cards 1-282 are confirmed by both tcdb and checklistcenter.
• G-009 channel value 'fast-break' is used for the six Fast Break box parallels; it is outside the spec's stated enum (hobby|retail|blaster|mega|fanatics-exclusive|choice|FOTL|multi|UNKNOWN) but matches the convention already used in the sibling prizm-bkb-2021-22 extract. Asia/Tmall exclusives (Red Wave, Gold Wave) are coded 'retail' for the same reason - there is no 'asia' value.

• G-010 Fast Break Rookie Variations: steelcitycollectibles and tradingcardmarket both state one Fast Break exclusive rookie variation per box, but no source publishes the number of cards in the set. card_count left UNKNOWN.
• G-011 Lucky Envelopes #/8 print run is confirmed by three sources but no source states its distribution channel. In other Panini releases Lucky Envelope parallels are Asia/Chinese New Year exclusives; not asserted here without evidence.

• G-012 No Reactive, Camo, Fluorescent (other than Orange Fluorescent), Mosaic Prizm or mega/hanger/cello-exclusive parallel families were found for this release by any source, despite those being common Mosaic families in other seasons. 2021-22 Mosaic Basketball appears to have had a very limited retail footprint (released Jan 2023). Absence is unconfirmed rather than verified.
• G-013 No memorabilia/relic sets were found for this release (checklistcenter explicitly notes none). Not independently confirmed.
• G-014 "Fast Break Rookie Variations": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm does not list this set at all under this release.
• G-015 "Overdrive": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-016 "Rookie Eruption": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-017 "Stained Glass": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-018 "Starting 5": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-019 "Straight Fire": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-020 "Swagger": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-021 "Translucence": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-022 "Autographs": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb only lists this family as "Autographs Mosaic"; our row's bare name "Autographs" is not an exact match, so left unresolved rather than guessed.
• G-023 "Rookie Autographs": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb only lists this family as "Rookie Autographs Mosaic"; our row's bare name is not an exact match, so left unresolved rather than guessed.
• G-024 "Fast Break Rookie Variations": REFUSED, no card numbers written. sets.csv carries card_count UNKNOWN and tcdb has no set page for it at all - it is absent from https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/309289/2021-22-Panini-Mosaic (which lists all 22 other non-base sets), and the numeric sid gaps around the release's blocks were probed and 404 (350236, 350242, 350248, 350323, 348251, 348257, 350204, 350767), each 404 paired against the known-live sid 350304 fetched with the identical slug shape, so the 404s mean 'no such set' rather than 'slug rejected'. The only numeric evidence found anywhere is base-mirrored ordinals that equal the player's own base Rookies number: netsstore.com titles a card '2021-22 Panini Mosaic Rookie Variations Fast Break #215 Cameron Thomas' (base 215 IS Cameron Thomas) and eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/125905806168 titles one '2021-22 Panini Mosaic - Rookie Variation Cade Cunningham #203 Fast Break Silver Prizm (RC)' (base 203 IS Cade Cunningham) - but that eBay page's number comes from its structured 'Card Number: 203' item-specific with 'Parallel/Variety: Fast Break Silver Prizm', i.e. catalogue-seeded data of the exact kind the spec says inherits placeholder ordinals, and its wording does not distinguish the Rookie Variation SSP from an ordinary Fast Break Silver Prizm parallel of the base Rookies card. Writing any row here would be asserting a base-mirrored scheme from a rule rather than from evidence - the same inference that had 12 rows deleted on 2020-21 Mosaic. Withheld players named by the two candidate sightings: Cameron Thomas, Cade Cunningham. Needs a Panini sell sheet or a tcdb set page.
• G-025 "Scripts": 58 of 60 cards written; 2 rows WITHHELD because tcdb stores the literal string TBD in their card-number column on every page that carries them. Withheld players: Kelly Olynyk (Detroit Pistons) and Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks). Verified on https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/350306/2021-22-Panini-Mosaic-Scripts-Green-Ice and https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/350307/2021-22-Panini-Mosaic-Scripts-Red-Wave (both render 60 rows, both show TBD for these two) and on the base page https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/350304/2021-22-Panini-Mosaic-Scripts (which shows TBD for Doncic). Also logged here: that base Scripts page's header 'Total Cards' reads 45 and it renders only 45 rows, contradicting sets.csv's 60 and its own parallel pages' 60 - tcdb's count is stale/low on the base page, and the parallel pages are the complete source.
• G-026 Uncatalogued tcdb subset filed under this release's parent that has no row in sets.csv, so no cards were written for it: '2021-22 Panini Mosaic - 75 Years of the NBA', tcdb sid 350768, 25 cards numbered 76-100 (Stephen Curry #76 through Ziaire Williams #100), listed on https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/309289/2021-22-Panini-Mosaic and rendered at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/350768/2021-22-Panini-Mosaic-75-Years-of-the-NBA . Its 76-100 numbering suggests it is one product's slice of a cross-brand NBA 75th Anniversary run rather than a self-contained 1..N insert; note sets.csv/parallels.csv already carry a separate base parallel called 'NBA 75th Anniversary' (sid 350212), which is a different thing. Needs a decision on whether this is a set row for this release. Also recorded from the same enumeration pass: sid 350303 sits inside the release's insert block and exists but renders no cards (it redirects to the tcdb homepage rather than 404ing, unlike 350236/350242/350248/350323 which 404); the rest of the release's sid layout is three islands - 348252-348256 (the five Autographs Mosaic pages), 350205-350322 (all parallels and inserts), and the isolated 350768 - with 350769 already belonging to a different product (2021-22 Topps Deco UEFA Champions League).
