Notes

SET-scope parallel of the "Elite Signatures" set. tcdb states Total Cards "29" on this sid's own header. SERIAL TOKENS ENUMERATED, NOT SAMPLED - the distinct token set across all 29 rendered rows of this sid is {AU, SN10} - AU and SN10 on all 29 rendered rows. tcdb set: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/167500/2017-18-Panini-Status---Elite-Signatures-Gold?PageIndex=1&sort=0 cardboardconnection independently prints "Elite Signatures: 29 cards with Gold #/10 parallels" (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-status-basketball-nba-cards), giving the figure two independent legs (an editorial statement and tcdb's own row-level sweep). CHANNEL: the ONLY channel statement any source consulted makes about this product is cardboardconnection's "2017-18 Panini Status Basketball enters the NBA card mix with one signed card in every hobby box." That places the product IN hobby boxes; it does not assert hobby EXCLUSIVITY, so channel_basis is `sourced-presence`, not `sourced-exclusive` (caveats.csv CAV-010). No source states a channel for this tier specifically. NOTHING WAS CARRIED ACROSS A SEASON BOUNDARY: status-bkb-2018-19 is retail-only and status-bkb-2019-20 is Asia-exclusive, and neither was used here. NO RETAILER SPLIT EXISTS IN 2017-18: the words Walmart, Target, blaster, hanger, fat pack, mega, retail and exclusive appear nowhere on cardboardconnection's 2017-18 page (checked by a second differently-parameterised fetch), nowhere on gogts.net (https://gogts.net/2017-18-panini-status-nba-basketball-cards-checklist/) and nowhere on breakninja (https://www.breakninja.com/17-18-Panini-Status-Basketball-Checklist.html) - so the 2018-19 Walmart-only / Target-only axis has no 2017-18 counterpart and channel_sku is empty on every row. MARKETPLACE CORROBORATION (EXTRACTION_SPEC 3.4) of the plain integer on an autograph tier: an eBay free-text title reads "2017-18 Tim Hardaway Panini Status Elite Signatures Auto Gold 5/10 PSA 10" (https://www.ebay.de/itm/256703224075) - a serial off a card in hand, naming the Gold tier, and carrying no tcdb flag string (tcdb renders SN10).
