Notes
tcdb sid 184214, "Total Cards: 38". THE DISTINCT SERIAL-TOKEN SET OF THIS TIER IS EXACTLY {SN10}, enumerated over all 38 rows in one fetch and NOT sampled: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/184214/2017-18-Panini-Vanguard-High-Voltage-Signatures-Gold. The tokens were SEEN, so no absence inference is involved, and the tier is uniform - the modal token IS the token on every row. cardboardconnection: "PARALLEL CARDS: Purple #/25 or #/15, Gold #/10, Red 1/1." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-vanguard-basketball-nba-cards). CHANNEL NOT ASSIGNED, DELIBERATELY. No source found in this build asserts channel EXCLUSIVITY for this product or for any tier of it. The two strongest statements anywhere are both PRESENCE statements in the sense of reference/caveats.csv CAV-010: Panini America's own blog says "On average, each hobby box of 2017-18 Vanguard Basketball (five cards per box, six boxes per case) will deliver four autographs and one base card or parallel." (https://blog.paniniamerica.net/the-panini-america-quality-control-gallery-2017-18-vanguard-basketball-50-images/) and cardboardconnection says "Formerly a Pacific brand across several sports from the early 2000s, each Hobby box of the basketball product averages four autographs." (https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2017-18-panini-vanguard-basketball-nba-cards). Both describe what a hobby box CONTAINS; neither says the product is sold only through hobby. channel is therefore UNKNOWN with an EMPTY channel_basis and an EMPTY channel_confidence, which migrations/003_parallels.sql requires (basis_iff_channel_known rejects channel=UNKNOWN with channel_basis=unsupported).
