ok, trying to figure out how many of a card were produced for 2014 Topps Olympic
Stated Pack Odds for 1/1 Auto (50 in the set)
1:6416 HOBBY
1:4915 RETAIL
so that gives a hi/low for packs produced (based on stated pack odds and number of 1/1 autos)
320,800 HOBBY
245,750 RETAIL
Stated Pack Odds for Sochi Pin (29 in the set)
1:267 HOBBY
1:3277 RETAIL
so taking HOBBY odds on HOBBY packs (the highest pack total based on 1/1 odds) kicks out a number 41.43 per card average produced, at RETAIL odds it goes down to 3.37 average cards produced...
i contacted Topps awhile back and never got an answer for how many were made...shocking right?
i know they are pretty rare, as i busted quite a few packs (422 blasters, almost 4 hobby cases with 3 more coming next week) and havent pulled many, i would have to look at my spreadsheet which is on my other computer to see how many ive sold, but its not many, and i currently own 6 Pin cards...
anyone else annoyed how pack odds arent much help in the grand scheme of things? Hobby Pack odds for a 1/1 Auto are the same as for a 1/1 Relic, problem is, there are 50 different autos and only 22 different relics and for the Blaster packs, it is slightly harder to pull a Relic than an auto, by like 200 packs, which still wouldnt add up properly...
