2022-23 National Treasures

• G-001 tcdb.com's set-overview page states 'Total Cards: 150' for 2022-23 National Treasures Basketball. Rejected as base_set_size (which is 100, confirmed via checklistcenter.com and cardsmithsbreaks.com and card-by-card cross-check for cards 1-78). tcdb's 150 bundles the 100-card base set with the 50-card Base Rookie Patch Auto set -- same subset-bundling trap caught in the 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22 siblings.
• G-002 checklistcenter.com states 22 cards for 'Validating Marks'; a separate general web-search summary attributed to cardboardconnection.com suggested 25 cards, but cardboardconnection.com itself returned a 404 on direct fetch for this product and could not be independently re-verified. Recorded card_count=22 per the directly-fetched source.
• G-003 checklistcenter.com states 39 cards; the same unverifiable secondary summary suggested 40. Recorded 39 per the directly-fetched source.
• G-004 checklistcenter.com states 29 cards; the same unverifiable secondary summary suggested 30. Recorded 29 per the directly-fetched source.
• G-005 checklistcenter.com states 28 cards; the same unverifiable secondary summary suggested 30. Recorded 28 per the directly-fetched source.
• G-006 checklistcenter.com states 29 cards; the same unverifiable secondary summary suggested 30. Recorded 29 per the directly-fetched source. Note: cardboardconnection.com's product page for this release returned HTTP 404 on every direct fetch attempt (see release notes), so G-002 through G-006 could not be resolved against a live second source; the summarized 'cardboardconnection' figures may reflect stale/cached search-index content rather than the current live page.
• G-007 checklistcenter.com's checklist for the 10-card 'Auto Triple' set includes the annotation '(no Card #3)', implying card number 3 is skipped or renumbered in the printed checklist. Not resolved since card-level checklists for autograph sets are out of scope for this extraction.
• G-008 '2016-17 Update' (1 card), '2019-20 Update' (2 cards), and '2021-22 Update' (81 cards) are carryover redemption/late-autograph batches from prior National Treasures Basketball products shipped inside 2022-23 packs. All three are single-sourced to checklistcenter.com; not corroborated by a second source.
• G-009 Unlike 2021-22 (where a Product Information Sheet PDF was located and used), no equivalent PIS PDF could be located for 2022-23 National Treasures Basketball; a guessed URL pattern (22-23_NTBK_PIS_Hobby_EDITED.pdf) 404'd, and blog.paniniamerica.net's release-announcement post 'X Marks the Spot: National Treasures Basketball is Here' contains no parallel print runs, FOTL detail, odds, or PDF link.
• G-010 beckett.com returned HTTP 403 on every fetch attempt for this product; its set list could not be checked for a 'Colossal Signatures'-style naming trap, so that concern was never encountered from any working source here.
• G-011 1 insert/auto set(s) in this release are documented as carrying their own parallel tier, but no source enumerated the colours, so no scoped parallel rows could be created. The tier exists; its members are unknown.
• G-012 This release's notes describe base cards or a base subset as serial-numbered, but the figure is only in prose and could not be resolved into structured data. base_print_run is UNKNOWN rather than guessed. Resolving it needs either a base_card_tiers partition for this release or a re-read of the source that stated the run.
• G-013 1 insert/auto set(s) in this release are documented as carrying their own parallel tier, but no source enumerated the colours, so no scoped parallel rows could be created. The tier exists; its members are unknown.
• G-014 1 insert/auto set(s) in this release are documented as carrying their own parallel tier, but no source enumerated the colours, so no scoped parallel rows could be created. The tier exists; its members are unknown.
• G-015 1 insert/auto set(s) in this release are documented as carrying their own parallel tier, but no source enumerated the colours, so no scoped parallel rows could be created. The tier exists; its members are unknown.
• G-016 1 insert/auto set(s) in this release are documented as carrying their own parallel tier, but no source enumerated the colours, so no scoped parallel rows could be created. The tier exists; its members are unknown.
• G-017 1 insert/auto set(s) in this release are documented as carrying their own parallel tier, but no source enumerated the colours, so no scoped parallel rows could be created. The tier exists; its members are unknown.
• G-018 SOURCE CALIBRATION FINDING for this release. cardboardconnection.com's 2022-23 National Treasures page prints Panini's internal sequence numbers, not the printed card numbers: it renders the Signatures set as '1 Ray Allen, 2 Ja Morant, 3 Ayo Dosunmu, 4 Glen Rice, 5 Jerry Stackhouse', where the printed codes are S-RAY, S-JAM, S-AYO, S-GRC and S-JSH (tcdb.com sid 396997, confirmed in two independent tcdb views). tcdb.com is the only source found that prints the real codes for this product, and its codes were validated against four marketplace listing titles across four different sets before any row was written: goldin.co '#TM-NJK Nikola Jokic' (Treasured Moments), ebay.com '#RMT-PBC /99' (Rookie Materials Autographs Triple), ebay.com '#JT-ERA /99' (Jersey Treasures) and ebay.com '#BGM-MIK' (Biography Materials). cardboardconnection.com, breakninja.com and sportscardchecklist.com are NOT used for card_number anywhere in this release.
• G-019 tcdb.com stores bare ordinals as PLACEHOLDERS on the ultra-low-population 1/1 sets in this release that it has not fully catalogued. Detected by sort/position order: on Logoman Autographs (sid 396967) the coded row LOA-BBL renders between '1' and '5' and LOA-JKU between '6' and '8'; on Treasured Tags Autographs (sid 397017) TTA-MJO renders between '8' and '10'; on Rookie Logoman (sid 397065) and Treasured Tags (sid 397072) every bare ordinal equals its own row index while the coded rows occupy the remaining indices; on Colossal Logoman (sid 397030) CL-OBY and CL-THO render between '13' and '16'. Those ordinals are display positions, not printed numbers, so they were deliberately NOT written. Resolved counts: Logoman Auto 2 of 31; Treasured Tags Auto 1 of 10; Colossal Logoman 11 of 100; Rookie Logoman 35 of 50; Treasured Tags 9 of 50. 190 printed codes across these five sets remain unresolved. Note Treasured Tags Auto shows a CLEAN CONTIGUOUS run 1-8,10, i.e. a hole-free sequence, which is exactly the case the spec warns is a placeholder smell rather than evidence of real numbering.
• G-020 ABSTAINED: 0 of 50 written. tcdb.com has no subset for this set anywhere in the 2022-23 National Treasures sid block (the block was swept sid-by-sid from 396920 to 397084 and the alphabetical position where 'Retro 2010 Rookie Patch Autographs' would fall, between Penmanship Platinum sid 396987 and Rookie Materials Autographs Dual sid 396988, is contiguous with no entry). The only other source reached, cardboardconnection.com, (a) renumbers coded sets on this product (see G-018) and (b) when asked for this set's rows returned a list byte-identical to the Rookie Patch Autographs 101-150 run -- a summarizing-fetch substitution that was caught by the copy check and rejected rather than written. No marketplace listing quoting a Retro 2010 Rookie Patch Auto card number was found. The printed numbering scheme for this set is UNKNOWN.
• G-021 Partial. '2021-22 Update' is 81 cards per sets.csv; tcdb splits the carryover batch across many separately-created sub-sets scattered outside the main sid block, and only 3 cards were located -- CM-ADD and CM-SVA from '2021-22 Panini National Treasures Update I: Colossal Material Autographs' (sids 397082/397083/397084) and NAI-ADR from '2021-22 Panini National Treasures Update I: National Archives Ink' (sid 399489). 3 of 81 written; 78 unresolved. '2019-20 Update' is 2 cards per sets.csv but both its tcdb subsets (sids 397080, 397081) list only CMA-JTT (Jayson Tatum); 1 of 2 written. '2016-17 Update' is 1 card (Manu Ginobili, Logoman Autographs) and tcdb records it only as the bare ordinal '33' -- a placeholder on a 1/1 set, so 0 of 1 written and the row was omitted rather than written with a wrong identifier.
• G-022 Confirmed prefix collisions -- (set_name, card_number) is the only safe key for this release, as in the 2021-22 sibling. 'CM-' is used by THREE sets: Century Materials (CM-DAY Deandre Ayton), Colossal Materials (CM-AGP Paul George) and the 2021-22 Update carryover (CM-ADD Andre Drummond); note CM-SVA is Steven Adams in BOTH Century Materials and the 2021-22 Update. 'TT-' is used by Treasured Tags and Tremendous Treasures, which share the identical code TT-JHD on two different players -- James Harden in Treasured Tags, Jrue Holiday in Tremendous Treasures. 'TM-' is used by Treasured Moments Auto and Timeline Materials. 'NAI-' is used by National Archives Ink and the 2021-22 Update carryover. 'CMA-' is used by Colossal Material Auto and the 2019-20 Update carryover. Prefixes also differ from the 2021-22 season: Penmanship went from PNM-/other to 'PS-', Signatures to a bare 'S-', Peerless Signatures to 'PLS-', Definitive Ink to 'DEF-', Treasured Threads to 'TD-' -- none was carried across the season boundary without re-verifying.
• G-023 Duplicate card_number values written verbatim within a single set, as tcdb prints them, because each pair is a plausible genuine collision on shared initials: Signatures S-JST (John Starks / John Stockton, confirmed in two independent tcdb views); Clutch Factor Signatures CFS-NKJ (Nikola Jovic / Nikola Jokic); Century Materials CM-DVM (Davion Mitchell / Donovan Mitchell); Rookie Triple Materials RTM-JDD (Jaden Ivey / Jalen Duren -- note this pair does NOT share initials and is the least plausible of the four). None was verified against a card image. Flagged rather than de-duplicated; card_number is therefore non-unique within these four sets.
• G-024 An ebay.com catalogue entry titled '2022-23 Panini National Treasures - Rookie Materials Autographs Dual Paolo Banchero #RMD-1 /99 (AU, MEM, RC)' gives Banchero's number in this set as 'RMD-1', whereas tcdb.com (sid 396988) gives 'RMD-PBC'. tcdb's value was written, because the same ebay catalogue renders the sibling set correctly as '#RMT-PBC' in agreement with tcdb, and because every other RMD- row on tcdb is a three-letter suffix with no numeric member. Unresolved: no card image was checked. If ebay is right, the whole RMD- run may be numerically suffixed.
• G-025 Retro Materials: 28 coded cards were recovered from the union of tcdb's base subset (sid 397050) and its Super Prime parallel subset (sid 397052); sets.csv states 29, so 1 card is unresolved. The 28 supports the 29 recorded in gaps G-004 over the 30 suggested by an unverifiable secondary summary. Separately, NAMING: tcdb calls sets.csv's 'Materials Treasures' set 'Material Treasures' (singular, sid 397044); card counts agree at 27 so they are treated as the same set, and sets.csv's name is used byte-exact as required. Recording the naming question here rather than changing our row -- this is the same class of mismatch logged as G-026 in the 2020-21 sibling.
• G-026 Independent card-level corroboration from tcdb.com for four counts that were previously single-sourced and disputed: Validating Marks 22 coded cards (gaps G-002 recorded 22 vs a suggested 25); Century Materials 39 (G-003, 39 vs 40); Timeline Materials 28 (G-005, 28 vs 30); Tremendous Treasures 29 (G-006, 29 vs 30). In all four cases tcdb's card-by-card count matches sets.csv exactly, so the checklistcenter.com figure recorded in sets.csv is confirmed and the higher secondary-summary figures are not supported. G-004 (Retro Materials 29 vs 30) is only partly resolved -- see G-025. sets.csv was NOT modified; this is corroboration recorded as a gap note.
• G-027 tcdb records some cards in this release with the placeholder 'TBD' instead of a printed code; those rows are deliberately NOT written. Affected sets and counts (set is N per sets.csv, M written): Auto Dual 20/19 (Evan Mobley / Isaiah Mobley); Auto Triple 10/7; Clutch Factor Signatures 43/40 (Bennedict Mathurin, Jordan Poole, Vince Carter); Colossal Material Auto 43/41 (Bennedict Mathurin, Christian Braun); Court Pass Auto 15/12 (Bennedict Mathurin, Vince Carter, Jayson Tatum); Definitive Ink 39 rows on tcdb of which 38 coded (Vince Carter is the TBD; the 38 matches sets.csv's 38); Peerless Signatures 45/43 (Austin Reaves, Brandon Ingram); Rookie Materials Auto Dual 39/37 (Bennedict Mathurin, Christian Braun); Rookie Materials Auto Triple 20/19 (Bennedict Mathurin); Rookie Materials Auto Quad 9/8 (Bennedict Mathurin); Treasured Moments Auto 25/24 (Vince Carter); Colossal Materials 20/19 (Draymond Green).
• G-028 tcdb truncates every checklist view for this product at roughly 78 rows, in the FETCHED CONTENT as well as the rendered output, so large sets cannot be read from one view. Jersey Treasures (95 cards) was completed only by unioning four views -- Checklist.cfm (by card number, 76 rows), ChecklistByName.cfm (added 13 codes), ChecklistByAge.cfm (added 5) and a narrow single-player query against ChecklistByLastName.cfm for the last one (JT-TYR, Tyrese Maxey) -- reaching exactly 95, matching sets.csv. Colossal Logoman (100 cards) was unioned the same way but is placeholder-limited rather than truncation-limited (see G-019). team_or_school is empty on Jersey Treasures JT-ROB (Robert Williams III) because no view that showed his code also showed a team, and a team was not guessed. Gallery.cfm/PrintCenter.cfm were not usable alternatives.
• G-029 RESOLVED AS MIS-SCOPED COUNT, NOT AS A 78-CARD SHORTFALL. sets.csv records card_count 81 for '2021-22 Update'. That 81 is a PARALLEL-TIER LINE COUNT; the set has 19 DISTINCT CARDS. Two independent lines of evidence agree. (1) checklistcenter.com https://www.checklistcenter.com/2022-23-panini-national-treasures-basketball-card-checklist/ -- the source sets.csv cites -- heads the section '2022-23 Panini National Treasures - 2021-22 Update Set' / '81 Cards' and then enumerates it tier by tier: 'Colossal Material Autographs - #/49' (Andre Drummond, Steven Adams), 'Colossal Material Autographs Prime', 'Colossal Material Autographs Super Prime - 1/1' (two cards), 'Definitive Ink' (four cards), 'Definitive Ink Gold - #/10' (four cards), 'Definitive Ink Platinum - 1/1' (four cards). The same two cards and the same four cards are counted once per tier. (2) tcdb.com holds the batch as 31 separate '2021-22 Panini National Treasures Update I: <subset>' sids filed under the 2022-23 National Treasures parent, in two runs -- 397082-397084 (bounded: 397079 is the 2016-17 Update I Logoman sid, 397085 is a 2004-09 TK Legacy Ohio State set) and 399486-399516 (bounded: 399485 is 2024 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Panoramic Sketch, 399517 is 1991 Epic Saturday Serials Series #2). Their per-sid 'Total Cards' values sum to EXACTLY 81: Colossal Material Autographs/Prime/Super Prime 2 each = 6; Definitive Ink/Gold/Platinum 4 each = 12; National Archives Ink/Gold/Platinum 1 each = 3; Peerless Signatures/Bronze/Emerald/Gold/Platinum 5 each = 25; Penmanship/Bronze/Emerald/Gold/Platinum 4 each = 20; Signatures/Bronze/Emerald/Gold/Platinum 1 each = 5; Timeless Talents Signatures/Bronze/Emerald/Gold/Platinum 1 each = 5; Validating Marks/Bronze/Emerald/Gold/Platinum 1 each = 5. 6+12+3+25+20+5+5+5 = 81. Distinct cards 2+4+1+5+4+1+1+1 = 19. This is the identical convention already documented for the 2020-21 sibling, where sets.csv's 12 for '2019-20 National Treasures NBA Update Autographs' proved to be 4 distinct cards x their parallel tiers (that release's gaps G-025), and for this release's own '2019-20 Update' (sets.csv 2 = 1 card x base + Super Prime) and '2016-17 Update' (sets.csv 1 = 1 card, no tier). ALL 19 DISTINCT CARDS ARE NOW WRITTEN: the 3 pre-existing rows (CM-ADD, CM-SVA, NAI-ADR) plus 16 appended on 2026-09-07 (DI-ADD, DI-GRC, DI-SVA, DI-THT, PSI-CAM, PSI-DAH, PSI-JHA, PSI-NAW, PSI-STE, PMS-ADD, PMS-CLV, PMS-JSH, PMS-THT, SIG-THT, TTS-GRC, VM-CHB). The set is COMPLETE at 19 distinct cards; it is not 3 of 81 and never was. [SUPERSEDES the '3 of 81 resolved' framing in G-021 and in the notes on the three pre-existing rows -- those rows' card_numbers are correct and were left untouched; only their stated denominator was wrong.] sets.csv was NOT altered. Remaining true unknown: none for card_number. No bare ordinal, TBD/TBA token or bare prefix occurs anywhere in this batch; every code was confirmed on a second sid (its own Gold or Platinum parallel page) under a different slug, and every prefix independently matches the prefix our own 2021-22 release data already carries for the same set. NOTE for parallels.csv (out of scope for this pass, not written): the tier ladders are now enumerated per sub-set by the sid list above -- Colossal Material Autographs base/Prime/Super Prime; Definitive Ink and National Archives Ink base/Gold/Platinum; Peerless Signatures, Penmanship, Signatures, Timeless Talents Signatures and Validating Marks base/Bronze/Emerald/Gold/Platinum. This may close part of the 'tier exists, members unknown' family G-011/G-013..G-017.
