the full 200-card base set of 2018-19 Status

Notes

FULL 200-card base parallel: tcdb sid 201831 states Total Cards "200", heading "2018-19 Panini Status - Gold" (https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/201831/2018-19-Panini-Status-Gold?PageIndex=1). SERIAL TOKEN ENUMERATED, NOT SAMPLED, across three differently-parameterised fetches: ?PageIndex=1 (cards 1-51), ?PageIndex=2 (cards 101-150) and ?PageIndex=2&sort=0 (cards 151-185) each return SN10 on EVERY row with no second token - one distinct token over roughly 135 of the 200 rows, and the card-number-range split that Dominion's Gold and Cornerstones' Crystal showed was specifically looked for at both ends and is absent. Cards 52-100 and 186-200 were not reached; see gaps G-009. cardboardconnection independently prints "Gold (#/10)", so two sources agree. CHANNEL: the exclusivity claim is PRODUCT-LEVEL and covers every card in the release - cardboardconnection, "2018-19 Panini Status Basketball gives NBA collectors a Retail-only option for the sophomore brand.", confirmed by a narrow verbatim re-fetch, and corroborated independently by breakninja, "Last years Status was a retail product and this years is basically an Asian only release." (https://www.breakninja.com/basketball/19-20-Panini-Status-Basketball-Checklist.php). channel_sku left EMPTY: cardboardconnection names three retail SKUs for the product as a whole ("This includes Blaster boxes ($19.99), Hanger boxes ($10.99) and Fat Packs ($5.99).") but no source ties this tier to any one of them.
