Notes

tcdb renders the tier as "Platinum" at sid 160890. ROW-LEVEL TOKENS: no flag token on any of the 88 rendered rows. This tier is one of the two NEGATIVE endpoints of the split test below. tcdb Inserts.cfm Notes cell: BLANK. TIER ROSTER IS 290, NOT 300, AND IT RECONCILES ON TWO INDEPENDENT SOURCES. tcdb renders "Total Cards: 290" for Platinum while every other base parallel reads 300. sportscardchecklist lists a Kobe Bryant Career Tribute tier for fifteen of this release's colours and lists NONE for Platinum, and lists "2017-18 Panini Hoops Platinum (290 Cards)". So Platinum covers base cards 1-290 and does not extend to the ten-card Kobe block. THE Inserts.cfm NOTES COLUMN PASSES THE BOTH-DIRECTIONS SPLIT TEST ON THIS PAGE'S PARALLEL SETS SECTION, AND THE FORMAT IS PROSE, NOT BARE TOKENS (reference/caveats.csv CAV-036). The cells read "Serial numbered to 99", "Serial numbered to 49", "Seral numbered to 199" (tcdb's own typo, reproduced here verbatim), "Factory set; SN199; holofoil cardstock" - never a bare SN token. Twelve of the sixteen Parallel Sets rows carry such a cell and four are blank. POSITIVE DIRECTION, three endpoints: the annotated Green renders "SN99" on all 80 of its rendered rows, the annotated Teal renders "SN125" on all 82, and the annotated Premium renders "SN199" on every rendered row. NEGATIVE DIRECTION, two endpoints: the blank Blue renders no flag token on any of its 80 rendered rows and the blank Platinum renders none on any of its 88. INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION: cardboardconnection lists all sixteen base parallels and gives a print run for exactly the twelve tcdb annotates and none for the four tcdb leaves blank - 16 of 16 agreement between two lineages, on names and on figures. So a blank annotation is a positive discriminative signal for unnumbered on THIS SECTION of THIS page. IT IS NOT ON THE INSERT SETS SECTION OF THE SAME PAGE, which is worthless in both directions: Championship Moments and Rookie Remembrance Prime both have BLANK Notes cells and both render serial tokens on every row.
