Cards 1-100, a single continuous run with no print-run tiers and no subset labels rendered by tcdb. The count is NOT taken on trust from the header: every number 1-100 was enumerated across https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/176608/2017-18-Panini-Threads?PageIndex=1 (rows 1-79) and https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/176608/2017-18-Panini-Threads?PageIndex=8&sort=0 , ?PageIndex=9&sort=0 and ?PageIndex=10&sort=0 (rows 71-100), with the 71-79 overlap agreeing row for row. The parent header "Total Cards: 100" (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/176608/2017-18-Panini-Threads) AGREES with that row count, so the unit question does not arise here. Independently: cardboardconnection "### Base Set Checklist" / "100 cards." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-threads-basketball-nba-cards). A THIRD LINEAGE SPLITS THIS SET IN TWO AND IT MATCHES THE RENDERED ROSTER EXACTLY: sportscardchecklist's own 2017-18 Threads index lists a single "2017-18 Panini Threads (100 Cards)" (https://www.sportscardchecklist.com/sport-basketball/year-2017-18/index-panini-threads/trading-card-checklists-and-product-information), while (per reference/caveats.csv CAV-040) its 2017-18 ENCASED index splits the same cards into a 60-card "Threads" and a 40-card "Rookies Threads" - and the tcdb rendering carries the literal token "RC" on cards 61-100 and on no card 1-60, i.e. exactly 60 veterans then 40 rookies. dacardworld states the same split in words: "The first 60 cards feature NBA veterans and the last 40 cards are for the rookie players." (https://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2017-18-panini-threads-basketball-5x7-jumbo-jersey-box). No card_tier is written, because the base run is uniform on print run and tcdb renders no sub-section heading; gap opened.
