As usual the odds are very long on the GPK inserts in a sports product. However, there is one huge change. The print run of the base refractors appears to be higher than past sports releases. Based on my math, there are 223 each NFL GPK Refractor, and 192 each NIL GPK Refractor. So approximately 200 of each one this time. Does that mean they are easier to pull? Well not really. Collectors can expect to find one NFL GPK card in every 22 Hobby cases or in every 44 Blaster cases. Collectors can also expect one NIL GPK every 33 Hobby cases or every 67 Blaster cases! Yikes!
