tcdb sid 150390, heading read-back "2016-17 Donruss Optic - Signature Series". card_count is tcdb's "Total Cards: 46" and its header and my own count of the rendered rows agree exactly; the rendered card numbers span 1-50 and are plain integers, not letter codes. Distinct flag tokens rendered: AU. Enumerated from this product's Inserts.cfm listing, whose "Insert Sets (102)" section I counted myself at exactly 102 rows (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/146985/2016-17-Donruss-Optic). Single-source (tcdb only) for the count. Evidence: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/150390/2016-17-Donruss-Optic-Signature-Series AU on every rendered row and NO serial token on any of them; not written as unnumbered anywhere, per CAV-042. Header 46 with a rendered span of 1-50, so interior numbers are unissued. See gaps. CHANNEL: cardboardconnection states "Exclusive to retail, Signature Series inserts feature base versions as well as format-specific parallels." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-donruss-optic-basketball-cards). Recorded here as a property of the SET; deliberately NOT propagated onto its parallel rows. COUNT CONTESTED AGAINST THIS SET'S OWN PARALLELS: six probed parallel sids state six DIFFERENT totals over the same 1-50 span - Black (150391) 49, Blue (150392) 47, Gold (150393) 46, Gold Vinyl (150394) 47, Green (150395) 49, Pink (150397) 47 - so the tiers are NOT nested and no page is a superset of another. 46 is written because it is the base page's own header agreeing with the base page's own rendered rows, but per CAV-044 a parent can be rows short of its own parallel and the evidence shape is identical either way. See gaps G-006.

Checklist · not documented
This set has a recorded count of 46, but the card-by-card checklist is not yet in the catalogue. That's an open research question, not a statement that no checklist exists. If you know a source that documents it, tell us — a pointer to one is exactly what closes these.
