Source note: Random player box autograph subset with player-specific print runs; David Robinson is the extra #/50 card on the Cardboard Connection checklist.

Project source notes

  • Cardboard Connection 2008-09 checklist: Used for the full 2008-09 set spine and insert architecture, including the 60-card base set, 40-card autograph-rookie structure, the 33-section insert menu, player-box concept, and the product-page contradiction where the prose says base cards are /225 while the detailed checklist and surviving examples support /125.
