2009-10 Trilogy

I'm a bit short on time for this one, so it's going to be a wham-bam-thank-you-blogger post for print runs.

As usual, we should expect to see 3 RC in every pack for a total of 1,200 cases produced. Starting with that, we can get some approximate print runs:

SITUATION A

• Base ~4,300 of each
• Classic Confrontations ~85 of each
• Ice Scripts ~200 of each
• Young Star Scripts ~200 of each
• Superstar Scripts ~300 of each
• Honorary Swatches ~260 of each
• Line Mates ~450 of each
• Hat Trick Heroes ~150 of each

I assumed that if you pulled a gold or platinum parallel, it would NOT replace the non-numbered version of a hit. Without this assumption one, it looked like 1/5 boxes would be shorted a GU card.

IF your parallel hit replaces a regular GU hit, 1/5 boxes would be short a GU and the print runs would be as follows:

• Base ~4,300 of each
• Classic Confrontations ~85 of each
• Ice Scripts ~200 of each
• Young Star Scripts ~200 of each
• Superstar Scripts ~300 of each
• Honorary Swatches ~200 of each
• Line Mates ~400 of each
• Hat Trick Heroes ~80 of each  

They're both within the right ball park though.

How can you tell which is right? The easiest way is Hat Trick Heroes. Are Hat Trick Heroes 3-4 a case? Then my guesses are pretty good. Here are some other interesting things to note:

• The '1-2 Clear Cuts' are a case hit!
• 3-4 Gold parallels per case (probably one of each Hat Trick Heroes, Honorary Swatches and Line Mates)
• 6-7 SP rookies per case
• 4 of 5 cases will have one Platinum parallel case hit
• 1 of 5 cases will have a SP auto #ed to 10 or less (1-2-3 Clear cut, 1-2-3-4 Clear Cut or the auto'ed versions of the Game used cards #ed to 5)

Hope that you liked the read! If you have any questions, feel free to to ask.
Cheers
