Notes

tcdb Inserts.cfm renders this tier under the "Parallel Sets (17)" heading with the Notes column reading "Issued as a 300-card box set. Serial numbered to 199". Set page: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/188426/2018-19-Hoops-Premium ; parent set inventory: https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/182809/2018-19-Hoops ; second source: https://www.checklistcenter.com/2018-19-panini-nba-hoops-basketball-card-checklist/. This tier is the base set of the SEPARATE 2018-19 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Box Set product, which maps to reference/brands.csv brand hoopspremium, not paninihoops. cardboardconnection: "Inside each 2018-19 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Box Set is a 300-card checklist straight from 2018-19 NBA Hoops.", "Product Configuration: 301-card factory set" and "all cards are numbered to 199 copies". Carried here as a parallel because tcdb files it under this parent's Parallel Sets heading and paninihoops-bkb-2019-20 carries the analogous row; the base-card identity collision is recorded in gaps. Source: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2018-19-panini-nba-hoops-premium-box-set [RECLASSIFIED 2026-09-27: the Hoops Premium Box Set is modelled as its own RELEASE on the `hoopspremium` line, not as this parallel tier. Owner decision, taken because the catalogue was answering the question BOTH ways at once - this row existed while `hoopspremium-bkb-2018-19` also existed as a release with its own 300-card base_cards.csv, a contradiction no consumer could see. The discriminator that settled it: the Premium treatment carries a chase set of its own (a 10-card Kobe Bryant Career Tribute Autographs Premium Box at AU/SN20 in 2017-18), and a pure colour parallel does not have a chase set; 2018-19's release also rests on first-party Panini evidence with its own date and price. THIS ROW IS NOT DELETED - rows are never deleted here - so a resolver matching the name tcdb prints under its Parallel Sets heading still finds it. Read it as a pointer to the release, and count the cards once, on the release.]
