Notes

tcdb sid 168754, heading read back as "2017-18 Panini Prestige - Bonus Shots Signatures Crystal Blue" - sid confirmed against the page's own heading, not taken from Inserts.cfm alone. Total Cards 80, and 80 rows rendered and counted. Distinct flag-token set enumerated over EVERY row of the tier, not sampled: {AU, SN1} - uniform, zero variable rows. Print run independently stated by cardboardconnection for the Crystal ladder across multiple sets ("Crystal Gold #/10", "Crystal Blue 1/1"). CHANNEL: cardboardconnection states the Crystal treatment is hobby-exclusive - "Cracked Ice technology, apparently referred to as Crystal in this release, is exclusive to Hobby boxes." - and separately lists the tier under "Hobby-only". ROSTER: per-tier rosters in this set genuinely DIFFER - 80 base, 74 Crystal (numbers 1-77 with 14, 48 and 59 unissued, which reconciles 77-3=74 exactly), 78 Crystal Gold, 80 Crystal Blue, 78 Gold - so no tier's roster may be assumed from another. See G-008. Every row also carries the flag AU. Card numbers in this set are not normalised here; they belong to the chase pass.
