• G-004 Explosion-family channel conflict: mega box copy (dacardworld, midwestcards, steelcitycollectibles) says the mega box contains '10 mega box exclusive explosion parallels' without naming colours, while dacardworld copy for the blaster, 24-pack retail box and jumbo value pack all name 'Base Blue Explosion' as retail-exclusive content. Purple/Teal/Green/Orange/Red Explosion are recorded as channel 'mega' on the strength of the mega copy; this may be wrong or too narrow.

• G-005 Blue (unnumbered) and Red (/75) are recorded as blaster-exclusive on the strength of a single beckett blaster box-break article ('Blaster exclusives include Blue and Red parallels'). No checklist or retailer product page confirms this.
• G-006 Parallel name disagreement: beckett and midwestcards print 'Winter Purple'; checklistcenter, sportscardchecklist and Panini retail copy (dacardworld, steelcitycollectibles) print 'Purple Winter'. Recorded as 'Purple Winter'.
• G-007 Panini retail copy names the Winter blaster exclusive as 'Base Rookies Purple Winter', which suggests Purple Winter may cover only cards 201-250 while 'Base Winter' covers 1-200. No checklist source resolves the exact card range for either.
• G-008 Parallel count disagreement: beckett and midwestcards enumerate 26 base parallels (16 numbered + 10 unnumbered); checklistcenter enumerates 25 (15 numbered + 10 unnumbered, omitting Premium Box Set) but its summary line says the base set has '24 parallels'. Recorded all 26.
• G-009 sportscardchecklist lists the colour parallels as 250-card sets and Premium Box Set as a 270-card set, implying the Hoops Tribute cards 251-270 are not paralleled other than by Premium Box Set. Not confirmed by beckett or checklistcenter.
• G-010 Premium Box Set (/199) is recorded as a base parallel with channel 'hobby', but it comes from the separately sold 2020-21 NBA Hoops Premium Collectors Set. If the ontology treats that boxed set as its own release these rows should move. No source states its distribution channel explicitly.

• G-011 Artist Proof Black (1/1) channel 'hobby' is inferred from dacardworld/midwestcards hobby copy ('Numbered parallels of Base and Base Rookies down to 1-of-1'), which does not assert exclusivity.

• G-012 gogts.net describes the parallel line-up as 'colors (e.g. Blue and Black) as well as technologies such as Purple Explosion and Artist Proof'. No Black base parallel appears in any enumerated checklist (beckett, checklistcenter, sportscardchecklist), so no Black row was created.
• G-013 The brand brief lists 'Lights Out' and 'Premium Stock' parallel families. Neither exists in 2020-21 Panini NBA Hoops per any source consulted: NBA Hoops Premium Stock is a 2019-20 SKU, and no Lights Out set or parallel was found for this release.
• G-014 No 2020-21 Panini NBA Hoops hanger box, fat pack or Target/Walmart-branded exclusive SKU could be located on any retailer or checklist source; the documented SKUs are hobby, 24-pack retail box, 11-pack blaster, Winter/Holiday 11-pack blaster, jumbo value (cello) pack, mega box and the Premium Collectors Set. Channel-specific parallels for a hanger/fat-pack SKU, if any, are therefore unrecorded.

• G-015 Retail street dates (2021-01-13 for retail box, blaster, Winter blaster and value pack; 2021-02-17 for mega; 2021-03-15 for the Premium Collectors Set) precede or follow the hobby date. release.csv records the hobby date 2021-02-03 per spec.
• G-016 Great SIGnificance card count disagreement: beckett lists 99, checklistcenter lists 100. Recorded 99.
• G-017 Set-name spelling varies across sources: 'Backstage Pass' (beckett) vs 'Back Stage Pass' (checklistcenter, breakninja); 'Hoops Art Signatures' vs 'Hoops ART Signatures'; 'Lights, Camera, Action' vs 'Lights Camera Action'; 'Rookie Remembrance' vs 'Rookie Remembrance Relics'; 'Vanity Plates' (checklists) vs 'Name Plates' (dacardworld retail copy). beckett's spelling recorded.
• G-018 Hoops Tribute Premium Box Set Autographs (20) is single-source (beckett only); checklistcenter and breakninja do not list it as a set, though dacardworld's Premium Collectors Set copy describes '20 possible Tribute Premium Box Set autographs' numbered 251-270.
• G-019 Memorabilia sets (Rise N Shine, Rookie Remembrance, Rookie Sweaters) are recorded with set_type 'insert' because the spec's set_type enum has no relic value.
• G-020 Insert and autograph card-level checklists were not captured (out of scope per spec); only set names and counts are recorded, so per-card verification of those counts was not possible.
• G-021 Team disagreements between sources on 8 base cards (#20 Aron Baynes, #21 Reggie Jackson, #25 Christian Wood, #35 Thon Maker, #113 Wesley Matthews, #121 Rudy Gay, #122 DeMar DeRozan, #135 Derrick Favors): beckett gave Charlotte/Detroit/Houston/Cleveland/San Antonio/Memphis/Toronto/Utah respectively, while breakninja and checklistcenter agree on Phoenix/LA Clippers/Detroit/Detroit/Milwaukee/San Antonio/San Antonio/New Orleans. The breakninja+checklistcenter values were recorded.
• G-022 rookie_flag is 'yes' for 201-250 and 'no' for 1-200 and 251-270, based on beckett printing RC only in the Rookies 201-250 section. No per-card RC marks were verified for the Hoops Tribute portion (251-270), which contains no rookies.
• G-023 Apostrophes in player names differ by source (breakninja strips them: 'DeAaron Fox', 'DAngelo Russell', 'Devonte Graham', 'Jahmius Ramsey'). beckett's apostrophe forms were recorded.
• G-024 Great SIGnificance: 93 of 99 cards written. tcdb (Gallery.cfm/sid/259477, 10 pages) carries the placeholder string 'TBA' instead of a printed card number for six players, and no marketplace listing title or other source could supply their codes: Charles Barkley, Darius Bazley, Isaac Okoro, James Wiseman, Killian Hayes, Patrick Williams. Their rows were withheld rather than guessed; the roster is preserved here. Darius Bazley appears only on the Gold parallel page (sid 259478), not on the base page.
• G-025 Great SIGnificance card-count disagreement widens: tcdb's base set page states 98, its own Great SIGnificance Gold parallel page (sid 259478) states 99, beckett/sets.csv say 99 and checklistcenter says 100. The Gold parallel page carries one player (Darius Bazley) absent from the base page, which reconciles 98 to 99. sets.csv's 99 is corroborated; no source supports 100.
• G-026 Great SIGnificance contains a genuine duplicate printed code: GS-DGR is used for BOTH Devonte Graham (Charlotte Hornets) and Danny Granger (Indiana Pacers). Both rows were written verbatim and are flagged here rather than dropped, per spec. (set_name, card_number) is therefore not unique in this release.
• G-027 IN-RELEASE PREFIX COLLISION, THREE-WAY: the prefix 'SS-' is printed on three different sets in 2020-21 Hoops - Arriving Now (SS-1..SS-25), Now Playing (SS-1..SS-33) and Rookie Remembrance (SS-1..SS-20). Each was independently confirmed from marketplace evidence (comc.com item pages #SS-14/#SS-15/#SS-19/#SS-2 for Arriving Now; ebay #SS-22 Tyrese Maxey and sportscardinvestor SS-6 Anthony Edwards for Now Playing; ebay #SS-2 Ja Morant / #SS-7 Cam Reddish / #SS-3 Rui Hachimura for Rookie Remembrance). SS-1 alone resolves to Killian Hayes, Vernon Carey Jr. or Zion Williamson depending on the set. Any resolver keyed on card_number alone will mis-hit; (set_name, card_number) is mandatory.
• G-028 tcdb data error corrected against marketplace evidence: tcdb's Hot Signatures Rookies checklist (sid 259489, confirmed on Gallery.cfm page 3) prints 'HR-LBA' on TWO rows, for Leandro Bolmaro and for LaMelo Ball. The LaMelo Ball card is printed HR-LMB per an ebay seller free-text title ('2020-21 HOOPS HOT SIGNATURES SEALED ROOKIE AUTO SP #HR-LMB LaMELO BALL RC', ebay.de/itm/357728720627) and the sibling Rookie Ink set distinguishes RI-LBA from RI-LMB the same way. HR-LMB was written for LaMelo Ball; HR-LBA retained for Bolmaro.
• G-029 UNCATALOGUED PARALLEL FAMILY: tcdb carries a full '2020-21 Hoops Winter' line of insert parallels that Inserts.cfm/sid/253171 omits entirely from its listing - they occupy the numeric gaps between the listed sids (e.g. 259439 = 'Winter - Arriving Now' 25 cards, 259457 = 'Winter - Class of 2020' 15, 259530 = 'Winter - Rookie Remembrance' 20, 259546 = 'Winter - Vanity Plates Holo' 25). comc.com also lists '2020-21 Panini NBA Hoops - Arriving Now - Winter'. sets.csv records only Holo/Explosion/Hyper/Artist Proof tiers for these inserts and lists no Winter tier for them. These are parallels, so no set rows or card rows were created; parallels.csv is out of scope for this pass. Remaining unprobed gap sids: 259428, 259435, 259440, 259458, 259470, 259471, 259497, 259498, 259509, 259510, 259523, 259538, 259539, 259545.
• G-030 SOURCE CALIBRATION RESULT for this release. PASSED: tcdb.com Checklist.cfm/Gallery.cfm (printed letter codes confirmed against ebay/comc/goldin free-text seller titles on Hoops Ink, Hot Signatures Rookies, Rookie Ink, Rise N Shine, Rookie Sweaters, Rookie Special, Arriving Now, Now Playing, Rookie Remembrance, Legends of the Game). FAILED: breakninja.com and sportscardchecklist.com - both renumber Hoops Ink as 1,2,3... (Brogdon, Bridges, Ellis, Jones, Smailagic, Galloway, Davis, Richardson) where the card reads HI-MBR, HI-MIB, HI-DEL etc., and both produce the SAME fabricated order, so their agreement is worthless as corroboration. Neither was used for any card_number. sportscardchecklist additionally mis-states the Hoops Ink Red count (header 49, listing runs to 50).
• G-031 tcdb set-name spellings differ from sets.csv for six sets and were NOT propagated: sets.csv 'HIPnotized' vs tcdb 'Hipnotized'; 'SLAM' vs 'Slam'; 'Lights, Camera, Action' vs 'Lights Camera Action'; 'Rise N Shine' vs 'Rise N Shine Memorabilia'; 'Rookie Remembrance' vs tcdb same but checklistcenter 'Rookie Remembrance Relics'; 'Hoops Tribute Premium Box Set Autographs' vs tcdb 'Premium Box Set Autographs'. All rows were written under the sets.csv spelling byte for byte. Extends G-017.
• G-032 Single-source card codes not independently confirmed: within Rookie Sweaters the code RSW-EPO (Aleksej Pokusevski) does not derive from the player's name the way every other code in the set does, and no marketplace listing title for it could be found - four other Rookie Sweaters codes (RSW-SMY, RSW-SBY, RSW-MFL, RSW-RWO) were confirmed, so the RSW- scheme is settled but this one suffix rests on tcdb alone. Recorded as tcdb prints it.
• G-033 FABRICATION CHECK 1 (copy check) fired on Hoops Tribute Premium Box Set Autographs: all 20 rows are byte-identical in card_number, player_name and team to base_cards.csv rows 251-270. Investigated and retained, not deleted: this is a genuine base-number-mirrored autograph subset of the Hoops Tribute 251-270 base range, exactly as sets.csv notes already state ('card numbers 251-270', one per /199 Premium Collectors Set, serial numbered /10). card_number is therefore non-unique across this release by design.
