2023-24 Panini Hoops

• G-001 beckett.com/news page for this release (beckett.com/news/2023-24-panini-nba-hoops-basketball-cards/) returned HTTP 403 and could not be used as a cross-check for base set size, parallels or configurations.
• G-002 checklistinsider.com has no page for the flagship 2023-24 NBA Hoops release (404); it covers only 2023-24 NBA Hoops Premium Stock and 2023-24 Panini Haunted Hoops. Both are separate products and were deliberately excluded from this extraction.
• G-003 Insert set name disagreement: cardboardconnection.com prints 'Road to the Finals Conference Finals' (12 cards) while checklistcenter.com prints 'Road to the Finals Conference' (12 cards). cardboardconnection.com wording was used. Counts agree.
• G-004 dacardworld.com hobby box copy and gogts.net both name 'Champions' and 'Parade' as returning hobby insert sets, but neither cardboardconnection.com nor checklistcenter.com lists any set by those names for this release. Not recorded in sets.csv pending confirmation - may be recycled marketing copy from a prior year.
• G-005 Autograph set name disagreement: cardsmithsbreaks.com prints 'Hoops Art Signatures Vertical' and 'Hoops Art Dual Signatures Horizontal' where cardboardconnection.com and checklistcenter.com print 'Hoops Art Signatures' and 'Hoops Art Signatures Dual Horizontal'. Counts agree at 5 each. cardboardconnection.com wording was used.
• G-006 'Base Hoops Tribute Premium Box Set Autographs' (20 cards, #/10) is single-source (cardboardconnection.com only) and belongs to the separately sold Premium Box Set format; checklistcenter.com and cardsmithsbreaks.com do not list it. Its cardboardconnection.com Premium Box Set product page could not be fetched (robots/DNS failure).
• G-007 cardsmithsbreaks.com lists only 'Rise N Shine Memorabilia' among memorabilia sets and omits Rookie Remembrance (15) and Rookie Sweaters (33), which cardboardconnection.com and checklistcenter.com both list. Both were kept on the two-source agreement.
• G-008 Channel unresolved for the Hyper family (Hyper Blue, Hyper Red #/99, Hyper Green #/25, Hyper Gold #/10): steelcitycollectibles.com states they are Asia Edition / TMALL box exclusives, but the channel enum in this spec has no Asia/international value, so channel was recorded as UNKNOWN rather than forced to hobby or retail.

• G-009 Channel unresolved for the base Winter and Purple Winter parallels. A Holiday/Winter Blaster SKU exists (walmart.com, amazon.com), and the amazon.com listing title names Winter-blaster-exclusive memorabilia and retail-exclusive Impulse parallels, but no source explicitly assigns the BASE Winter or Purple Winter parallel to that SKU.

• G-010 Channel unresolved for Blue, Yellow and Neon Green base parallels - none of the sources consulted (cardboardconnection.com, checklistcenter.com, cardsmithsbreaks.com, gogts.net, dacardworld.com, steelcitycollectibles.com) states a channel or SKU for them.

• G-015 No source consulted documents a mega box, hanger pack, cello/jumbo fat value pack, or a Target- or Walmart-exclusive SKU for the flagship 2023-24 Panini NBA Hoops release. Documented SKUs are limited to hobby box/case/pack, 24-pack retail box, 6-pack blaster, Holiday/Winter blaster, Asia-TMALL box and the Premium Box Set. If additional retail SKUs existed they are unverified.
• G-016 Cards #281-300 (Hoops Tribute) include 2023-24 rookies - Brandon Miller (#284), Ausar Thompson (#293), Scoot Henderson (#297), Victor Wembanyama (#298), Amen Thompson (#300) - but neither cardboardconnection.com nor checklistcenter.com prints an RC designation on any Hoops Tribute card, while both print RC on all of #231-280. rookie_flag was therefore recorded as 'no' for #281-300; whether the physical cards carry the RC logo is unverified.
• G-017 Transcription conflict resolved: an initial checklistcenter.com pass returned #61-64 shifted by one and omitted Cameron Thomas. A targeted re-read of checklistcenter.com #55-70 confirmed #64 Cameron Thomas (Brooklyn Nets), matching cardboardconnection.com. The cardboardconnection.com sequence was used throughout.
• G-018 Memorabilia sets (Rise N Shine Memorabilia, Rookie Remembrance, Rookie Sweaters) are recorded with set_type=insert because the spec's set_type enum offers only base | insert | auto. Their true type is memorabilia/relic.
• G-019 Base structure represented two ways by sources: cardboardconnection.com and checklistcenter.com number all 300 cards in one base run, while cardsmithsbreaks.com splits them into Base (230), Base Rookies (50) and Base Hoops Tribute (20). sets.csv records both the 300-card Base Set row and the two subset rows, so subset counts are intentionally contained within the 300.
• G-020 Channel claim for Rookie Sweaters ('Winter Blaster Exclusive') and for Rise N Shine / Rookie Remembrance as Holiday blaster memorabilia is single-source (amazon.com Winter Holiday Blaster listing title).

• G-021 breakninja.com's 2023-24 Panini NBA Hoops checklist page returned only navigation and marketplace listings, not checklist or parallel data, so it could not serve as a cross-check.
• G-022 Calligraphy Signatures (sets.csv card_count 28): 0 of 28 card numbers resolved. tcdb.com has NO 2023-24 Hoops Calligraphy Signatures set under the Hoops parent (Inserts.cfm sid/388591) or the Hoops Winter sibling parent (sid/401598); the numeric sid gaps around the Hoops autograph block (397784, 397797, 397808-397811) were probed and are either 404 or homepage redirects with no cards. The printed scheme is a CAL- letter code with a 3-letter suffix, evidenced by https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/429109/2023-24-Panini-Origins---2023-24-Panini-Calligraphy-Signatures (CAL-AIV, CAL-DWY, CAL-JHA) - but that is the Origins-filed subset of the Panini-wide program, a different product, so its rows were deliberately NOT written into this release. cardboardconnection.com prints this set as plain 1..30 (also disagreeing with the 28 count) and is a confirmed renumberer on this release, so its numbers were not used. The only Hoops-branded evidence found is https://www.ebay.com/p/15064170384 'Calligraphy Signatures Donovan Mitchell #CAL-14', an eBay /p/ CATALOGUE page showing the real prefix bolted onto a placeholder ordinal - the exact contamination pattern the spec warns about - so it was rejected. Roster is available from cardboardconnection.com; card numbers are not.
• G-023 Private Signings (sets.csv card_count 59): PARTIAL, 2 of 59 written. Same situation as G-022 - tcdb carries no 2023-24 Hoops Private Signings set under either parent. Prefix is PS- with a 3-letter suffix, confirmed by https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/429110 (PS-JJJ, PS-MAT) and by two Hoops-branded sources that print a real code: comc.com card page .../Panini_NBA_Hoops_-_Private_Signings/PS-CLY/Noah_Clowney/24478184 and free-text eBay seller title https://www.ebay.com/itm/177321888458 '#PS-KEY'. Those two rows were written; the other 57 codes have no source. comc.com's set index page returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches and could not be enumerated - it is the most likely source for a future pass. cardboardconnection.com prints this set as plain 1..60 (also disagreeing with the 59 count); those numbers were NOT used.
• G-024 Base Hoops Tribute Premium Box Set Autographs (sets.csv card_count 20): 0 of 20 resolved. FABRICATION CHECK #1 (copy check) FIRED and was NOT cleared. The only source for this set is cardboardconnection.com, which prints it as 281-300 - the same range as the Hoops Tribute base subset - but with a DIFFERENT player order than base_cards.csv (cardboardconnection gives 281 Amen Thompson, 290 Anthony Edwards, 300 Allen Iverson, whereas base 281 is Ja Morant, 290 LeBron James, 296 Allen Iverson). So it is not a verifiable base mirror, and cardboardconnection is a confirmed renumberer on this release (see G-025). tcdb has no set for it; searches for a marketplace listing of a Hoops Tribute AUTOGRAPH returned only base (non-auto) Hoops Tribute cards (#281 Ja Morant, #283 Kevin Garnett, #296 Allen Iverson, #298 Victor Wembanyama). No rows written rather than record an unverified base-mirror. Note the sets.csv count of 20 is a genuine card count, not a print run in disguise: cardboardconnection states '20 cards. Serial numbered #/10. 1 per box.'
• G-025 SOURCE CALIBRATION FOR THIS RELEASE. PASSED for card numbers: tcdb.com (Checklist.cfm and Gallery.cfm), and free-text marketplace seller titles (ebay.com/ebay.ca /itm/ pages, legendsfanshop.com, k-bid.com, comc.com card pages). FAILED for card numbers on this release: cardboardconnection.com - it prints Calligraphy Signatures as 1..30 and Private Signings as 1..60, while comc.com and free-text eBay titles show those sets are printed with CAL- and PS- letter codes. cardboardconnection remains reliable for ROSTERS and counts only. Calibration was performed on CODED sets (Rise N Shine RS-WEM, Great SIGnificance GS-CLO/GS-THO/GS-TRE/GS-HUE/GS-MMR, Hot Signatures HS-BEN, Private Signings PS-KEY/PS-CLY), never on base cards. Separately, the plain 1..N scheme used by this release's 27 PAPER INSERTS was verified GENUINE (not a renumbering artefact) against free-text seller titles 'Anti Gravity #15 Victor Wembanyama' (ebay.ca item 387316507766) and 'City Edition #30 Victor Wembanyama' (ebay.com item 204557264305), and by a second tcdb render type (Gallery.cfm).
• G-026 Great SIGnificance row count: 95 distinct GS- codes were rendered by tcdb (Checklist.cfm rows 1-50 plus Gallery.cfm PageIndex 6-10 for rows 51-95; Gallery pages 4 and 5 were re-fetched and align exactly with Checklist rows 31-50, so there is no double-count). tcdb's own header states 'Total Cards: 94' and sets.csv records card_count 93 (from cardboardconnection.com and checklistcenter.com). All 95 rows are individually evidenced on a tcdb page and were written; the set is therefore 2 rows over its recorded card_count. Per spec, rendered rows are trusted over a possibly stale header. The card_count in sets.csv may need review - NOT changed by this pass.
• G-027 UNCATALOGUED TCDB SUBSETS - not in sets.csv, so recorded here rather than created as new sets. tcdb's Inserts.cfm for sid/388591 lists two 1-card subsets that sets.csv does not carry: 'Champions' (sid 593582, 1 card, '2022-23 NBA Champions - Denver Nuggets') and 'Parade' (sid 593583, 1 card, 'Championship Parade - Denver Nuggets'). Both were fetched and confirmed. No rows written.
• G-028 TCDB FILES PART OF THIS RELEASE UNDER A SIBLING PARENT. '2023-24 Hoops Winter' (sid 401598) is a separate tcdb parent that carries Rookie Sweaters (sid 402195) - the set is INVISIBLE to Inserts.cfm on the correct Hoops parent sid 388591, and its 33 cards were sourced from the Winter parent. The Winter parent additionally carries Winter-channel renders of Arriving Now (402078), Dynamos (402081), Pure Players (402076), Rookie Greetings (402079), Skyview (402077), Rookie Remembrance (402082), Rise N Shine Memorabilia (402717) and a 'Purple' tier (402075). Those are a channel/colour tier of sets this release already has, i.e. parallels, and were NOT written as separate sets; the Hoops-parent renders (397804, 397806, etc.) were used instead.
• G-029 SET-NAME VARIANTS between tcdb.com and sets.csv, mapped byte-for-byte to the sets.csv name when writing rows; sets.csv was not modified. tcdb prints 'Hoops Art Signatures Vertical' for sets.csv 'Hoops Art Signatures' (cardsmithsbreaks.com agrees with tcdb - see existing set note); 'Hot Signatures Rookie' for sets.csv 'Hot Signatures Rookies'; 'Jam-tastic' for sets.csv 'JAM-tastic'; and 'Rise n Shine Memorabilia' for sets.csv 'Rise N Shine Memorabilia'.
• G-030 PREFIX COLLISION CHECK and verbatim oddities, all re-derived from pages read in this pass rather than inherited from a prior season. Rise N Shine Memorabilia uses RS- while Rookie Sweaters uses RSW- in this release, so the RS- collision seen on earlier Hoops seasons does NOT occur here. Card numbers written verbatim that look irregular but are what the page prints: 'HS-L' (Luka Doncic) and 'HI-S' (Saddiq Bey) are 1-character suffixes; 'RS-PHIL' (Julian Phillips) is a 4-character suffix. For Hot Signatures the parallel-page test (Hot Signatures Red, sid 397787) rendered 'HS-J' for Jalen Williams where both the base Checklist.cfm and Gallery.cfm PageIndex=3 render 'HS-JLN'; HS-JLN was used and the Red page treated as the defective render. Empty tcdb sids inside the Hoops block that redirect to the homepage rather than 404 (i.e. the set exists but renders no cards): 397784, 397797, 397811.
