Hi everyone,

I wanted to share with you the latest analysis I've performed on the print run for 2018-19 Panini Prizm Basketball Hobby cases and the non-serial numbered Prizm base card inserts, including Silver Prizms. The analysis is based on collecting data on the contents of 50 hobby boxes and 29 FOTL boxes.

I wrote a whole post about it in my blog, with tables listing out the numbers. You can read it here.

As expected, Panini increased the print run for 2018-19 Hobby boxes and for the Silver Prizms packed in hobby boxes. Just like last year, Silver Prizms land at a rate of 6 per box on average. With an increased number of boxes comes an increased number of Silver Prizms. In contrast, color serial-numbered Prizms, such as Gold /10, are now hit less frequently than last year. On average one needs to open more packs of 2018-19 to find a Gold /10 Prizm.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the retail launch. I'm considering adding a page to my blog where people can input their retail break information so that we can have a large sample size for analyzing. If I can get it set up would you be up for sharing your retail break data assuming you just need to fill out a simple form?
