Print Runs

vinnieb · 01-19-2021, 09:22 PM

Hello All,

I’m relatively new here, so I apologize in advance if this topic has been talked about to death, but is there a simple-ish way to estimate print runs for certain products? I know you can look to the odds of certain numbered cards to try to guestimate, but given the different odds on various types of products (blaster vs hobby vs fat pack vs hanger, etc.), how reliable is this sort of method. Thanks in advance.

You're spot-on that using, say, a superfractor odds can help you determine print runs.

When you get to stuff like flagship (where they have multiple formats -- hangers, blasters, hobby, jumbo, etc -- that it gets much more difficult.
