One autograph per sealed box set, and the set that distinguishes this product from a mere parallel tier of the parent: it is EXCLUSIVE to this format and has no counterpart in the parent product. UNIT CHECK, EXTRACTION_SPEC 5.4: distinct cards - 10 rows rendered and counted by hand on https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/171641/zzz-probe-slug, header "Total Cards: 10", set-level "Notes: Serial numbered to 25", every row carrying the literal flag tokens "AU, SN25". The DISTINCT serial-token set across all 10 rows is exactly {SN25} - enumerated, not sampled. Its 10 card numbers are 151, 159, 174, 188, 192, 193, 196, 198, 199 and 200, all inside the base run; see G-008. cardboardconnection independently gives the same count and run: "The 10-card autograph lineup boasts the top rookie names of the year, including Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, Lonzo Ball, and Markelle Fultz." and "These cards are also exclusive to the format and are numbered to just 25 copies apiece." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-donruss-optic-basketball-premium-box-set) - and all four of those named players appear in the tcdb enumeration, at 188, 198, 199 and 200 respectively. tcdb also lists the set under the Optic parent with the Notes cell "Serial numbered to 25" (https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/165179/2017-18-Donruss-Optic). The print run of 25 CANNOT be held in this file - sets.csv has no print_run column - so it is recorded here in words and in G-009. Set count is two-source (tcdb header and cardboardconnection), which for EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.1 purposes is a positive statement on both sides rather than one site's silence.

This set has a recorded count of 10, 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.
