2024-25 Select

• G-001 Task brief specified three base tiers (Concourse, Premier Level, Courtside). Sources instead document FOUR tiers with continuous numbering 1-400: Concourse 1-100, Premier Level 101-200, Courtside 201-300, and a retail-exclusive Mezzanine Level 301-400. base_set_size recorded as 400 on the strength of cardsmithsbreaks.com card-level data (cards 301-400 enumerated), checklistinsider.com (100 per tier x 4) and an eBay '#1-400' set listing. Needs authoritative confirmation.
• G-002 cardlines.com and gogts.net both describe 2024-25 Select as a 'three-tier base set' and never mention Mezzanine Level, directly contradicting the four-tier finding. Unresolved.
• G-003 The complete 400-card base checklist (player + team + card number) comes from ONE card-level source, cardsmithsbreaks.com, retrieved in 16 chunked passes. No second full card-level checklist could be reached (beckett.com 403, tcdb.com not retrieved, direct HTTP blocked by egress policy), so per-card player/team assignments are unverified.
• G-004 Cards 196-200 were absent from the 176-200 retrieval pass and were taken from a separate 195-215 pass of the same source; the two passes agree only on card 195. Cards 196-200 are effectively single-pass, single-source.
• G-005 rookie_flag is UNKNOWN for all 400 cards: no source consulted displays explicit RC designations in the base checklist, and the spec forbids inferring rookie status.
• G-006 The complete per-tier parallel enumeration (67 Concourse / 43 Premier Level / 53 Courtside / 32 Mezzanine Level names) is single-source (checklistinsider.com). Only about 19 of the names are independently corroborated (cardsmithsbreaks.com, gogts.net, cardlines.com); the rest are single-source and marked as such.
• G-007 checklistinsider.com states parallel counts of 67 / 42 / 45 / 32 per tier, but the names it actually enumerates count 67 / 43 / 53 / 32. Premier Level (43 vs 42) and Courtside (53 vs 45) disagree with the site's own totals.
• G-008 Several Select parallel names in the list overlap Panini Prizm's parallel vocabulary (e.g. Lucky Envelopes /8, Pink Prizms Marketing, White Sparkle, Cosmic). A direct comparison against checklistinsider.com's 2024-25 Prizm Basketball parallel list showed the two lists are substantively different, which argues against contamination, but individual names remain unverified.
• G-009 Channel / box-type assignments are largely single-source and partly contradictory: checklistinsider.com places Cracked Ice parallels in Mega retail while cardlines.com lists Cracked Ice among 'hobby-only' parallels. Disco = H2 exclusive is the only mapping with two independent sources (gogts.net + cardlines.com).

• G-010 Die-cut status per tier is not confirmed. Only cardboardconnection.com asserts Premier Level cards use die-cut elements, and that page appears to be AI-generated boilerplate (it lists base set size as 'TBA'). visual_notes flags the die-cut assumption rather than asserting it.
• G-011 Three parallel names carry different print runs in different tiers (White Prizms /149 vs /125; Maroon Prizms /175 vs /85; Pink Prizms Marketing /10 vs /4 vs 1/1). These are recorded as separate tier-suffixed rows to keep names unique, but the divergence itself is single-source and may be a transcription error at the source.
• G-012 Card counts are UNKNOWN for all 15 insert sets and for 4 memorabilia sets - no source consulted publishes insert set sizes for this release.
• G-013 cardsmithsbreaks.com returned conflicting card counts for 'Signature Selections' across two retrieval passes (40 in one, 38 in the other); recorded as UNKNOWN.
• G-014 Autograph set counts (Rookie Signatures 40, Rookie Jersey Autographs 40, Signatures 30, In Flight Signatures 29, Autographed Memorabilia 29) are each single-source. In Flight Signatures and Autographed Memorabilia both reported as 29, which may indicate a source-side duplication.
• G-015 Set-name discrepancy: gogts.net names a hobby-exclusive patch autograph set 'Prizm Selections Signatures' while cardsmithsbreaks.com and checklistinsider.com name it 'Prime Selections Signatures'. Recorded under the latter; likely the same set.
• G-016 set_type vocabulary is limited to base|insert|auto, so pure memorabilia/relic sets (Jumbo Rookie Swatches, Draft Selections Memorabilia, Throwback Memorabilia, Sparks) are recorded as 'insert' with an explanatory note.
• G-017 beckett.com/news returned HTTP 403 and could not be used. cardboardconnection.com's 2024-25 Select page is a 'Set Review' with no checklist data (base set size listed as 'TBA', and it invents tier descriptions), so the brand's normally-preferred primary source was unusable for this release.
• G-018 Direct HTTP fetching was blocked by this session's egress policy (403 on CONNECT for cardboardconnection.com and checklistinsider.com), so all data was obtained via summarizing page fetches rather than raw HTML parsing, raising transcription risk on long tables.
• G-019 checklistinsider.com internally contradicts itself on set size, stating 'The complete product totals 500 base cards across four tiers: Concourse (100), Premier Level (100), Courtside (100), and Mezzanine Level (100)' - 4 x 100 = 400, not 500. base_set_size recorded as 400.
• G-020 Hobby release date 2025-06-18 is corroborated by gogts.net, checklistinsider.com and cardboardconnection.com; the H2 date 2025-06-27 is single-source (gogts.net).
• G-021 Possible duplicate: 'Blue' and 'Blue Prizms' are recorded as separate base parallels (both unnumbered, overlapping tiers). They may be one parallel under two source namings. NOT merged - kept as distinct rows pending human/source verification.
• G-022 "Color Wheel": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. Neither tcdb Inserts.cfm nor checklistcenter.com documents a colour tier for this set.
• G-023 "Solar Eclipse": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. Neither tcdb Inserts.cfm nor checklistcenter.com documents a colour tier for this set.
• G-024 "Visionary": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. Neither tcdb Inserts.cfm nor checklistcenter.com documents a colour tier for this set.
• G-025 "Artistic Selections": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. tcdb Inserts.cfm lists no colour-suffixed variant of this set.
• G-026 "Crown Jewels": no sourced own-parallel-tier colour list found for this non-base set. Neither tcdb Inserts.cfm nor checklistcenter.com documents a colour tier for this set.
• G-027 base_card_tiers.csv written with print_run=UNKNOWN and serial_numbered=UNKNOWN for all four tiers. No source fetched (checklistcenter.com, checklistinsider.com, cardboardconnection.com, breakninja.com, gogts.net) states whether Select base cards are unnumbered or serial numbered.
• G-028 base_card_tiers.csv records Mezzanine Level channel=retail on the strength of a single source, cardboardconnection.com ('Mezzanine (Retail Exclusive): Available only in retail configurations...'). That page could NOT be calibrated against a known-good fact from this release - it states the set size as 'not explicitly confirmed (TBA)' and lists no base parallel print runs. Corroboration is only indirect: hobby-facing sell-sheet copy on breakninja.com and gogts.net describes 'all three tiers' (Concourse, Premier Level, Courtside) and never mentions Mezzanine. checklistinsider.com, which does calibrate cleanly on this release's parallel print runs, makes no retail/hobby statement about Mezzanine. Channel for the other three tiers left UNKNOWN. [REVIEWED 2026-08-19: still open; 225 of 265 parallels lack a sourced channel.]
• G-029 Source disagreement re-confirmed during tier repair: breakninja.com ('Collect all three tiers of the base set... (Concourse, Premier Level, Courtside)!') and gogts.net ('Collect all three tiers of the base set') omit Mezzanine Level entirely, against checklistcenter.com and checklistinsider.com which both document four 100-card tiers over #1-400. The four-tier reading was written because checklistcenter.com's per-card boundary entries (#1, #100, #101, #200, #201, #300, #301, #400) match this release's base_cards.csv player names exactly on all eight points. Related to G-001/G-002.
• G-030 'Score Select Throwback': no card-by-card checklist written - ABSTAINED. tcdb.com has no page for this 2024-25 Panini Select Basketball set (its Inserts.cfm index at https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/518078/2024-25-Panini-Select truncates past 'Rookie Signatures Neon Orange Pulsar Prizms FOTL', and exhaustive sid probing of the three Select-2024-25 sid blocks 545893-546061, 547084-547143 and 547307-547321 found no such set). checklistinsider.com and beckett.com list the set name but publish no card-level rows; cardsmithsbreaks.com returned HTTP 500 on every attempt; cardboardconnection.com/checklistcenter.com renumber coded sets 1..N and are therefore unusable for card_number.

No rows written rather than guessed.
• G-036 Numbering scheme evidence for the six abstained sets, recorded so a later pass does not have to re-derive it: 'Score Select Throwback' appears to be plain 1..N - eBay listing title '2024 PANINI SELECT SCORE SELECT THROWBACK #7 BUB CARRINGTON SILVER PRIZM PSA 10' https://www.ebay.com/itm/277589406750. 'Selection Committee Signatures' is letter-coded SC- - eBay catalogue entry '2024-25 Panini Select - Dave Bing #SC-BIN' https://www.ebay.com/b/2024-25-Panini-Select-Dave-Bing-SC-BIN/212/bn_48005840913 - BUT a second eBay catalogue entry gives a NUMERIC code for the same set, '2024-25 Panini Select - Selection Committee Signatures Jack Sikma #SC-3 Green Mojo Prizm /35 (AU)' https://www.ebay.com/p/24084905629, so SC- may be mixed alphabetic/numeric or one listing is wrong. Unresolved; no rows written from these fragments.
• G-037 'Neon Icon' NAMING CONFLICT: sets.csv records the set as 'Neon Icon' (singular). Every card-level source renders it 'Neon Icons' (plural): tcdb https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/545893/2024-25-Panini-Select-Neon-Icons, comc.com https://www.comc.com/Cards/Basketball/2024-25/Panini_Select_-_Neon_Icons, and eBay listing titles. Rows were written under the sets.csv spelling as required; the sets.csv row was NOT changed. Needs a naming decision.
• G-038 'Jumbo Rookie Signature Swatches' and 'Jumbo Rookie Swatches' BOTH use the printed prefix JRS- in this release, and 9 codes are shared verbatim between the two sets: JRS-BAY, JRS-BUB, JRS-BUZ, JRS-CUI, JRS-EDE, JRS-MOG, JRS-TDS, JRS-TID and JRS-DIL (JRS-DIL is Dillon Jones in the autographed set and Rob Dillingham in the relic set). card_number alone therefore does NOT identify a card in this release - a resolver must key on (set_name, card_number). Sources: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/546007/2024-25-Panini-Select-Jumbo-Rookie-Signature-Swatches and https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/545995/2024-25-Panini-Select-Jumbo-Rookie-Swatches.
• G-039 'Sparks' card_number conflict for Tyler Kolek. The base-set page https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/547109/2024-25-Panini-Select-Sparks prints 'SPK-KOL', confirmed by a narrow verbatim re-fetch of the independent last-name-sorted view https://www.tcdb.com/ChecklistByLastName.cfm/sid/547109/2024-25-Panini-Select-Sparks. The 1/1 Black Finite Prizms parallel page https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/547108/2024-25-Panini-Select-Sparks-Black-Finite-Prizms prints 'SPK-TOL' for the same player, and on BOTH pages the row sorts where 'TOL' would sort. SPK-KOL was written (base-set page, two independent views). No marketplace listing for either code could be found. Unresolved.
• G-040 'Sparks' size: the tcdb base-set page lists 21 cards, the 1/1 Black Finite Prizms parallel lists 25. The four extra cards - SPK-BON (Adem Bona), SPK-FUR (Johnny Furphy), SPK-KLI (Bobi Klintman), SPK-OSO (Oso Ighodaro) - were written from the parallel page and their notes say so; they appear to be issued only in parallel form. 25 rows written. sets.csv card_count is UNKNOWN; sportscardspro reports 200 items for the set across its versions.
• G-041 'Signature Selections': tcdb has no page for the un-parallelled base set (sid 547136 is a 404; the family occupies 547137-547143, all parallels). The checklist was taken from the 1/1 Black Finite Prizms parallel https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/547137/2024-25-Panini-Select-Signature-Selections-Black-Finite-Prizms, which carries the full 38-card run; every Signature Selections parallel page tcdb holds also reports 38. This resolves the '40 vs 38' conflict recorded in the sets.csv note toward 38, and sportscardspro's 304 items / 8 versions = 38 agrees. sets.csv card_count remains UNKNOWN and was not changed.
• G-042 SOURCE CALIBRATION RESULT for this release, recorded because it contradicts the project-wide guidance that sportscardspro.com prints real codes: sportscardspro is INCONSISTENT here. It prints the genuine codes for 'In Flight Signature' (IFS-AMN, IFS-ASR ...) but RENUMBERS 'Rookie Signature' 1..40 (it shows Cam Spencer as #1 where tcdb and eBay both give #RS-SPC), and likewise renumbers 'Prime Selections Signature', 'Signature Selections' and 'Throwback Memorabilia' 1..N. It was therefore used ONLY to corroborate set sizes and rosters, never for card_number. All card_numbers in insert_cards.csv come from tcdb.com, cross-checked against eBay/COMC listing titles where such a listing exists.
• G-043 Corroboration depth: 27 of the 33 insert/auto sets are card-level single-sourced to tcdb.com. No second source publishes real printed codes for this release - checklistinsider.com and beckett.com give set names and odds but no card rows, cardsmithsbreaks.com returned HTTP 500 throughout this pass, and cardboardconnection.com / checklistcenter.com renumber coded sets 1..N. Independent code-level confirmation exists only for RS- (eBay #RS-KYS), RJA- (eBay #RJA-SPR), IFS- (sportscardspro), YE- (eBay #YE-BAC, #YE-BAT), SS- (eBay #SS-KOJ) and SPK- (eBay #SPK-ICO). The remaining prefixes - SIG-, DSM-, JRS-, PSS-, AM-, TM-, TSS-, XMS- - rest on tcdb alone.
• G-044 Set-size findings versus sets.csv, from tcdb card counts: Clutch 25, En Fuego 15, Score Select Throwback -, Select Future -, Sky High 20, Color Wheel 25, Solar Eclipse 15, Visionary 25, Artistic Selections 10, Crown Jewels 10, Hot Stars 15, Lodestars 15, Neon Icon(s) 25, Rookie Revolution 25, Jumbo Rookie Swatches 29, Draft Selections Memorabilia 20, Throwback Memorabilia 25, Sparks 25, Signature Selections 38, Prime Selections Signatures 30, Select Few/Pairings/Selection Committee -, Top Shelf Signatures 15, X-Factor Memorabilia Signatures 27, Youth Explosion Signatures 33, Jumbo Rookie Signature Swatches 30. All of these are UNKNOWN in sets.csv; sets.csv was NOT modified. The five sets that DO carry a count in sets.csv all matched exactly: Rookie Signatures 40, Rookie Jersey Autographs 40, Signatures 30, In Flight Signatures 29, Autographed Memorabilia 29.
