2019-20 Optic

• G-001 Release date disagreement: Cardboard Connection states February 12, 2020 while Beckett states January 29, 2020. release.csv uses 2020-02-12; the Beckett date appears to be a pre-release estimate.
• G-002 Channel assignment for the retail-family base parallels (Checkerboard, Purple, Purple Shock, Hyper Pink, Pink /25, White Sparkle) is not itemised by any source. Cardboard Connection groups them as "all products"; channel values for these rows are inferred from retail box descriptions or set to UNKNOWN.

• G-003 Checkerboard base parallel print run unverified. Cardboard Connection's parallel table shows no serial number, ChecklistCenter lists it as unnumbered, but a Cardboard Connection summary elsewhere implies 1/1. Recorded as unnumbered. Note Rated Rookies Signatures Checkerboard is separately a #/1 blaster chase.
• G-004 "The Rookies" insert card count of 5 is unusually small for an Optic insert and is only supported by Cardboard Connection and ChecklistCenter; no third source confirms it.
• G-005 Insert and autograph card counts overall are single-lineage: Cardboard Connection and ChecklistCenter agree but ChecklistCenter appears to derive from the same checklist, so these are effectively single-source.
• G-006 Beckett's product page (beckett.com/news) never published a full checklist for this release ("base set size TBA"), so base_set_size = 200 is cross-checked against Cardboard Connection, ChecklistCenter and TCDB rather than Beckett.
• G-007 Base card 49 (Mike Conley, Utah Jazz), 99 (John Wall, Washington Wizards), 120 (Markelle Fultz, Orlando Magic) and 149 (Kyle Lowry, Toronto Raptors) break the otherwise strict 10-team rotation in the base numbering. Both consulted checklists agree on these entries, so they are recorded as-is but flagged as an anomaly.
• G-008 Rated Rookies Signatures set name varies by source ("Rated Rookie Signatures" on Cardboard Connection vs "Rated Rookies Signatures" on ChecklistCenter). Recorded as "Rated Rookies Signatures".
• G-009 Winner Stays insert name conflict: Cardboard Connection and TCDB use "Winner Stays"; ChecklistCenter uses "Winter Stays". Recorded as "Winner Stays" (2 of 3 sources).
• G-010 Velocity family is inconsistently reported: Cardboard Connection lists Pink Velocity /79 and Black Velocity /39 under Hobby and then repeats them under a separate "Velocity" heading alongside an unnumbered Blue. Recorded once each, with Blue Velocity as unnumbered/UNKNOWN channel.

• G-011 Factory Set (Green Wave) and Premium Box Set (base #/249) parallels come from companion products that share the base design; their inclusion in this release's parallel family is a judgement call and their channels are UNKNOWN.

• G-012 Signature Series "Prizm Parallels" (90 cards) reported by Cardboard Connection/ChecklistCenter is a parallel listing rather than a standalone set; not represented in sets.csv or parallels.csv (parallels.csv is base-set only).
• G-013 tcdb.com and beckett.com return limited/partial content to automated fetches; per-insert card counts could not be independently verified there.
• G-014 Per-set parallel-tier repair pass (2026-08-27): tcdb.com's Inserts.cfm listed "Rated Rookies Signatures Premium Box Set" only as a suffixed colour tier of "Rated Rookies Signatures", not with its own further parallels, so no "Has its own parallel tier" note could be sourced for that sets.csv row; 18 of 19 non-base sets were annotated.
• G-015 Signature Series colour tiers on tcdb carry LARGER and progressively different checklists than the 47-card base set: Signature Series (sid 226043) renders 47 rows matching sets.csv; Signature Series Gold (sid 226049) renders 67; Signature Series Holo (sid 226053) states 87; Signature Series Black (sid 226044) states 88. The base 47 are a strict subset of the Gold 67. These larger tiers are the 90-card "Signature Series Prizm Parallels" already noted in G-012, i.e. parallel scope, so their extra players were NOT written into the Signature Series set. The 20 players present on Signature Series Gold but absent from the base 47 are WITHHELD and named here: Alen Smailagic (SS-ASM), Bob Dandridge (SS-BDR), Cedi Osman (SS-COS), Dewan Hernandez (SS-DHZ), Dario Saric (SS-DSC), Jalen Lecque (SS-JLQ), Jalen Rose (SS-JRS), Jason Terry (SS-JTY), Justin Wright-Foreman (SS-JWF), Kendrick Nunn (SS-KNU), Luke Walton (SS-LWT), Montrezl Harrell (SS-MHL), Miye Oni (SS-MON), Marial Shayok (SS-MSH), Nicolas Claxton (SS-NCX), Nicolo Melli (SS-NML), Otto Porter Jr. (SS-OPJ), Robert Covington (SS-RCV), Terance Mann (SS-TMN), Wesley Matthews (SS-WMT).

• G-016 CONTRADICTION FOUND against existing data. The Rated Rookies Signatures autograph set is numbered in the base 151-200 block, and its roster matches base_cards.csv on 47 of 50 numbers but disagrees on three: card 163 is Alen Smailagic (Golden State Warriors) on tcdb vs Nicolo Melli in base_cards.csv; card 174 is Chuma Okeke (Orlando Magic) vs Justin Robinson; card 193 is Jalen McDaniels (Charlotte Hornets) vs Kendrick Nunn. The insert_cards.csv rows follow tcdb because that is the page fetched for this set; base_cards.csv was NOT modified. Either the autograph checklist genuinely substitutes three signers at those numbers, or one of the two rosters is wrong. Unresolved - needs a card-in-hand source for base 163/174/193. Sources: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/226017/2019-20-Donruss-Optic---Rated-Rookies-Signatures and https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/226026/2019-20-Donruss-Optic---Rated-Rookies-Signatures-Gold (the Gold parallel agrees with the base page on all three) [CORRECTED 2026-09-03: there are FOUR such numbers, not three. The mechanical diff of all 50 rows against base_cards.csv also shows card 195 = Jordan Bone (Detroit Pistons) on tcdb vs Darius Garland in base_cards.csv. The full discrepancy set is 163, 174, 193 and 195; the other 46 of 50 numbers agree. On the Premium Box Set only 174 differs. base_cards.csv was still not modified.]
• G-017 Parallel-page placeholder contamination observed but not acted on: Fast Break Signatures Gold (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/225997/2019-20-Donruss-Optic---Fast-Break-Signatures-Gold) renders the bare ordinal "85" for Tyler Herro where the base Fast Break Signatures page and that row's own ViewCard href both render "FB-THR". The base page was used; this is recorded as evidence that on this release the colour-tier pages are not uniformly cleaner than the base pages, so the parallel-page test must not be applied as a blanket override. Source: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/225995/2019-20-Donruss-Optic---Fast-Break-Signatures
• G-018 Supports G-004 ("The Rookies" count of 5 was single-lineage). tcdb independently renders exactly 5 rows for this set with a stated Total Cards of 5, and each row's own ViewCard href embeds its number and player (1 Zion Williamson, 2 Ja Morant, 3 RJ Barrett, 4 De'Andre Hunter, 5 Rui Hachimura). This is a third source independent of Cardboard Connection / ChecklistCenter, so the count of 5 no longer rests on one lineage. G-004 left open pending a human decision to close it. Source: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/226075/2019-20-Donruss-Optic---The-Rookies
• G-019 Supersedes the fetch-access claim in G-013 for the insert/autograph pass. tcdb.com WAS fully fetchable in this run via WebFetch (curl to tcdb remains blocked) and supplied complete card-by-card checklists for all 19 non-base sets, with every set's row count matching its sets.csv card_count exactly (522 rows total). tcdb sid regime for this release: base set is an isolated island at 217475; ALL insert and autograph subsets plus their colour tiers occupy ONE contiguous alphabetical block 225945-226104; base parallels are scattered islands in 225733-225943 interleaved with unrelated products. Boundary probes with an identical slug shape returned live pages for DIFFERENT products on both sides - sid 225944 is "2010 Top Trumps Transformers Revenge of the Fallen" and sid 226105 is "2019 Panini Plates & Patches - Full Coverage Relics" - so the block edges are real, not slug rejections. Interior probes at 225870 ("2020 Topps Now Road to Opening Day Oakland Athletics") and 225929 ("2008 Top Trumps Juniors Power Rangers Operation Overdrive") confirm the base-parallel region is interleaved with foreign products. No uncatalogued Donruss Optic insert or autograph subset was found outside the 225945-226104 block. Source: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/217475/2019-20-Donruss-Optic
