Relic (memorabilia) set - every row is flagged MEM and none is flagged AU; there is no relic value in set_type, so it is filed as insert per EXTRACTION_SPEC section 2.2. tcdb states "Total Cards: 36" and renders 36 rows, my own count, at https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/153750/2016-17-Panini-Spectra---Spectacular-Swatches . cardboardconnection independently states "36 cards. Serial numbered #/149" (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-17-panini-spectra-basketball-cards). PER-CARD VARIABLE, NOT FLAT: enumerating all 36 rows gives the distinct token set {MEM, SN149, SN134} - SN149 on 35 rows and "MEM, SN134" on card 3 Isaiah Thomas, confirmed character for character on a second differently-varied endpoint (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/153750/2016-17-Panini-Spectra---Spectacular-Swatches). cardboardconnection's unhedged "#/149" is therefore refuted by enumeration. CONTRADICTION RECORDED, NOT SMOOTHED: this set's own colour tiers render MORE rows than the count above - the largest renders 64 rows on tcdb. card_count is written from the two sources that state a count and agree (tcdb's own base page, header and rendered rows both 36, and cardboardconnection "36 cards. Serial numbered #/149"); the tier overshoot is unexplained and is logged as a gap.
