Update: Here’s a Quick Look at production:

Because all the foils are numbered we know there are a total of 4,050 foil cards in the production. Which means 4,050 total boxes. Also 4,050 * 3 odds = 12,150 total packs.

• Base cards – 12,150 packs * 6 base per pack = 72,900 total base / 50 subjects = 1,458 of each base
• Red Heart – 12,150 packs / 50 subjects = 243 of each Red Heart
• C Name – 12,150 packs / 3 odds = 4050 / 25 subjects = 162 each C Name
• Black Heart – 12,150 packs / 3 odds = 4050 / 25 subjects = 162 each C Name
• Stamps – 12,150 packs / 5 odds = 2430 / 25 subjects = 97 each stamp
