Notes

tcdb catalogues this tier as "2017-18 Panini Revolution - Chinese New Year" (sid 165665, taken from the parent listing https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/162384/2017-18-Panini-Revolution and confirmed against this page's own heading) with "Total Cards: 150", so the tier carries the FULL 1-150 base roster and its scope is the base set, not a block. DISTINCT SERIAL-TOKEN SET ENUMERATED, NOT SAMPLED, over all 150 rows: the set is EMPTY - no row renders any token. Coverage: ViewSet.cfm rows 1-70; Checklist.cfm?PageIndex=1 rows 1-72 and ?PageIndex=2 rows 101-150; Gallery.cfm?PageIndex=8, 9 and 10 tiles 71-100. unnumbered/no is written on a POSITIVE DISCRIMINATIVE TEST, not on one fetch's silence (the direction-neutral rule): the identical Checklist.cfm?PageIndex=2 request shape against the sibling sids in this same 165664-165673 block renders "SN100", "SN75", "SN50" and "SN10" on all 50 of their rows 101-150 and renders nothing here - same endpoint, same page, same request shape, comparable rows - and the absence is reproduced on a SECOND endpoint (Gallery.cfm tiles, which do render the SN token on the numbered sibling tiers of this same block). Corroborated independently by cardboardconnection, whose parallel line reads "PARALLEL CARDS: Chinese New Year (International Retail), Astro, Fractal, Galactic, Groove, Impact, Cosmic #/100, Sunburst #/75, Cubic #/50, Lava #/10." and states a #/N figure for exactly the four tiers that render a token and none for this one. CHANNEL: cardboardconnection attributes this tier, and only this tier, to international retail, and states the attribution as an EXCLUSIVITY, which is what CAV-010 requires before a named channel value may be written; a box-configuration line alone would have been sourced-presence at best. The enum value written is "international" (channel_taxonomy.csv: "Regional SKU") because the sourced exclusivity is to INTERNATIONAL retail boxes, not to domestic retail; the box format is carried separately in channel_sku. NAME DIVERGENCE, NOT RESOLVED: cardboardconnection's prose calls the tier "Chinese New Year Red" while its own parallel list and tcdb both call it "Chinese New Year", and tcdb catalogues exactly ONE Chinese New Year sid for this release where 2018-19 carries three tiers (Red, Emerald, Holo Gold). The tcdb name is written because it is the name a source prints for the set this row describes, and spec 2.3 prefers a source's own name over an invented disambiguator. See gap G-004.
