2020-21 Revolution

• G-001 Release date disagreement: post-release checklist sources (cardboardconnection.com, beckett.com) both state March 10, 2021; an earlier pre-release preview (sportscollectorsdaily.com) had stated "currently scheduled for March 3, but that's subject to change." Used March 10, 2021 as the higher-confidence, multi-sourced final date.
• G-002 Channel for the five "Asia" and three "Chinese New Year" base parallels could not be confirmed as hobby or retail. Multiple sources (dacardworld.com, steelcitycollectibles.com) confirm these are exclusive to standalone regional box products ("Asia Tmall Box" and "Chinese New Year" box) sold outside the standard hobby box, but none explicitly labels those boxes hobby or retail -- one third-party listing (stockx.com) even calls the Chinese New Year box a "Hobby Box". Recorded channel as UNKNOWN rather than guessing, per spec instruction not to upgrade an unclear claim.

• G-003 Task prompt's example Revolution SSP/case-hit checklist ('Sonic', 'Crash the Game') were searched for specifically but do not appear anywhere in 2020-21 Panini Revolution Basketball sources; they were not found in this release's checklist (cardboardconnection.com, beckett.com, checklistcenter.com, tcdb.com). They likely belong to other Revolution basketball release years.
• G-004 No source explicitly calls Shock Wave, Vortex, Liftoff!, Supernova, or Rookie Revolution (the five 2020-21 insert sets) a case hit, SSP, or short print at the SET level. Only the Galactic PARALLEL (which cuts across Base, Base Rookies, and all insert sets) is explicitly called SSP/case hit. No standalone insert-set-level card checklist for a case-hit/SSP tier was found, so ssp_cards.csv could not be populated for this release.
• G-005 Print runs for Autographs (Fractal #/100 or #/50, Infinite #/25, Kaleido 1/1) and Rookie Autographs parallels were reported by checklistcenter.com and cardboardconnection.com but are out of scope for parallels.csv (base-only per spec); logged here for completeness since autograph parallel print runs were not independently cross-checked against a third source.
• G-006 Per-set parallel-tier repair pass (2026-08-27, targeted): looked for insert/autograph colour parallel tiers for these non-base sets and found none to source -- Rookie Autographs Chinese New Year. checklistcenter.com listed no Parallels line for this set during the 2026-08-27 targeted parallel-tier repair pass. Left unannotated.
• G-007 Autographs card-count disagreement. tcdb's Autographs page header states 'Total Cards: 31' on both https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263044/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Autographs and https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/263044/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Autographs-Basketball-Cards , but both endpoints render exactly 30 rows, and a narrow verbatim re-fetch shows the 30 ViewCard cids run strictly contiguous (16413699-16413728) with no gap where a 31st record could sit. The parallel pages Autographs Fractal (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263045/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Autographs-Fractal) and Autographs Kaleido (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263047/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Autographs-Kaleido) both state 'Total Cards: 30' and render 30. sets.csv independently records 30, and sportscardspro's roster for the set (https://www.sportscardspro.com/console/basketball-cards-2020-panini-revolution-autographs) lists 30 distinct players matching the tcdb roster name for name. Treated the base page header 31 as stale and wrote 30 rows; no row was manufactured to close the gap. sets.csv NOT edited.
• G-008 tcdb renders two impossible NBA teams on this release's autograph pages, so team_or_school was left EMPTY on those two rows rather than written or guessed. (1) Devin Vassell is rendered 'Washington Wizards' on Rookie Autographs (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/263053/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Rookie-Autographs-Basketball-Cards), on Rookie Autographs Asia (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263054/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Rookie-Autographs-Asia) and on Rookie Autographs Chinese New Year (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263055/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Rookie-Autographs-Chinese-New-Year); Vassell played 2020-21 for San Antonio. tcdb contradicts itself in the same release -- its Rookie Revolution page (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263059/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Rookie-Revolution) renders him as San Antonio Spurs -- and this repo's independent base_cards.csv row 118 also says San Antonio Spurs. (2) Nikola Vucevic is rendered 'Denver Nuggets' on the Autographs base page and on all three Autographs parallel pages; Vucevic never played for Denver, and this repo's independent base_cards.csv row 80 says Orlando Magic. Both were confirmed by narrow non-summarizing re-fetches, so these are tcdb's own errors rather than fetch artifacts. Note that RJ Hampton rendering as 'Denver Nuggets' on Rookie Autographs while rendering as 'Orlando Magic' on Rookie Revolution is NOT an error -- he was traded mid-season and both are genuine.
• G-009 RECLASSIFICATION FINDING: 'Rookie Autographs Chinese New Year' is a serial-numbered PARALLEL of 'Rookie Autographs', not a distinct 20-card set. Its 20 card_numbers are BYTE-IDENTICAL to the base set's -- same 20 RA- codes, same 20 players, same order -- comparing https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263055/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Rookie-Autographs-Chinese-New-Year against https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/263053/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Rookie-Autographs-Basketball-Cards . Three further confirmations: (a) tcdb files sid 263055 inside the Rookie Autographs PARALLEL block -- 263053 base, 263054 Asia, 263055 Chinese New Year, 263056 Fractal, 263057 Infinite, 263058 Kaleido, per https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/257176/2020-21-Panini-Revolution ; (b) the Asia tier (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/263054/2020-21-Panini-Revolution-Rookie-Autographs-Asia) renders the same 20 byte-identical codes, so the whole family shares one checklist; (c) the only difference is the flag column -- the Chinese New Year page carries per-row SN flags (SN1, SN50, SN9, SN24, SN35, SN8, SN10, SN33, SN7, SN13, SN2, SN17, SN1, SN11, SN9, SN13, SN41, SN1, SN1, SN20) where the base page carries only AU. Those SN values are each player's jersey number, which is exactly what this release's own sets.csv note for the set already says ('Numbered to each player's jersey number'). CONSEQUENCE: the 20 rows written under this set_name do NOT represent 20 additional distinct cards in the release; they are the same 20 cards at a second, serial-numbered tier. Rows were written under the sets.csv name per task instruction so the checklist survives, and every row's notes carries the flag. Recommend moving this checklist to parallels.csv and reclassifying the sets.csv row. sets.csv NOT edited.
• G-011 Al Horford code conflict, UNRESOLVED. tcdb renders 'AG-AHD' on all four 2020-21 Autographs pages (base, Fractal, Infinite, Kaleido). Three eBay listings render 'AG-AHF': https://www.ebay.com/itm/256717650046 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/256820305175 (both now return 404) and https://www.ebay.com/itm/306393143400 . The one fetchable page has been RETITLED to eBay catalogue form ('2020-21 Panini Revolution - Autographs Al Horford #AG-AHF (AU)') carrying the tcdb flag string '(AU)', so under the spec's marketplace rules it is a catalogue page, not a free-text seller title, and does not meet the bar to override a catalogue. sportscardspro's Horford page (https://www.sportscardspro.com/game/basketball-cards-2020-panini-revolution-autographs/al-horford) shows BOTH '#AG-AHF' and '#AG-AHD' in its sold listings and states no card-number field of its own, so it does not adjudicate. Note the eBay catalogue entry disagrees with tcdb, which means it is not tcdb-seeded and AG-AHF may well be what is printed. Wrote the tcdb token AG-AHD. A live free-text seller listing would settle this in one fetch.
• G-020 [CORRECTED 2026-09-12] 20 rows written for "Rookie Autographs Chinese New Year" have been REMOVED. The research behind them stands and is recorded here and in the run's own gap rows; what was wrong was writing them as chase cards. FINDING (keep this): the set is a PARALLEL of "Rookie Autographs", not a distinct set. Its card_number tokens are BYTE-IDENTICAL to the base set's on all 20 rows with ZERO unique cards, the same players in the same order; its sid sits inside the Rookie Autographs parallel block alongside the Asia/Fractal/Infinite/Kaleido tiers; and the only rendered difference is the flag column, where CNY carries per-row SN values that are each player's JERSEY NUMBER, not a card number — SN = jersey number (SN1, SN50, SN9, SN24, SN35 ...). cardboardconnection independently prints those as serial numbers. WHY REMOVED: keeping them would assert a second set of distinct chase cards that do not exist, and would inflate this release's coverage by that many rows. A parallel's checklist belongs in parallels.csv, which is out of scope for a checklist run. This matches the treatment given to 2021-22 Origins "Rookie Jumbo Jerseys Red" — and this case is stronger, since that one carried one genuinely unique card and this carries none. The open question for a human: move the set to parallels.csv as a tier of Rookie Autographs. The checklist is recoverable from the CNY sid in one fetch. Removed before minting, so no ids were spent.
