One autograph per sealed box. UNIT CHECK (EXTRACTION_SPEC 5.4): distinct cards - 10 rows, counted individually, rendered under checklistinsider's heading "Rated Rookie Signatures Premium Box Set Checklist" with the summary "10 cards. /15 or less." (https://www.checklistinsider.com/2023-24-donruss-optic-premium-basketball-factory-set) and rendered independently by checklistcenter under the heading "2023-24 Donruss Optic - Rated Rookies Signatures Premium Box Set Blue Set" with the summary "10 Cards - Serial Numbered #/15" (https://www.checklistcenter.com/2023-24-donruss-optic-basketball-card-checklist/). Both sources print the SAME ten card numbers and players: 255 Ausar Thompson, 256 Brandin Podziemski, 258 Marcus Sasser, 265 Kobe Bufkin, 269 Cason Wallace, 271 Sasha Vezenkov, 281 Dereck Lively II, 287 Amen Thompson, 290 Keyonte George, 295 Bilal Coulibaly. THE TEN NUMBERS DO NOT COLLIDE WITH THIS RELEASE'S BASE RUN of 1-250, unlike 2022-23 where they did (opticpremium-bkb-2022-23 G-005); they sit in the 251-300 block the PARENT release files as its Rated Rookies Signatures set, and all ten match data/optic-bkb-2023-24/insert_cards.csv on number, player and team - a SECOND repackaging overlap, 10 of 10, raised at G-005. SET NAME: two sources disagree by one letter. checklistcenter prints "Rated Rookies Signatures Premium Box Set" (plural "Rookies", https://www.checklistcenter.com/2023-24-donruss-optic-basketball-card-checklist/); checklistinsider prints "Rated Rookie Signatures Premium Box Set" (singular "Rookie", https://www.checklistinsider.com/2023-24-donruss-optic-premium-basketball-factory-set and https://www.checklistinsider.com/2023-24-donruss-optic-basketball). The plural form is written here because it matches checklistcenter, matches the name opticpremium-bkb-2022-23 carries for the same set under the same line, and matches the parent release's "Rated Rookies Signatures" - see G-015. tcdb offers no tie-break: it has no subset page for this set at all, exactly as data/optic-bkb-2023-24 G-018 records for the parent's autograph block. EXCLUSIVITY: checklistinsider's parent page prints "Premium Box Set exclusive." under this set's heading (https://www.checklistinsider.com/2023-24-donruss-optic-basketball), and tcdb's Notes line for the base subset reads "SN249; Premium Box Set exclusive" (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/438843/2023-24-Donruss-Optic-Premium-Box-Set). THE SET'S NUMBERING IS A PROPERTY OF THE SET AND IS RECORDED IN WORDS ONLY HERE: sets.csv has no print_run column and the figure must not be written into card_count (EXTRACTION_SPEC 2.2). "/15 or less" is a CEILING, not a print run, and is not written as one anywhere. The three numbered versions the sources name - Blue /15, Gold /7, Green /3 - are carried as set-scope rows in parallels.csv. Card-level checklist deliberately not written here (CHASE_CHECKLIST_SPEC).

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.
