Update: Let’s take a Quick Look at the production numbers for this one.
- 60 cards in set * /25 green foils = 1500 total green foils + 60 Hex Fractor = 1560 total foils
- Relics are 1:4 boxes, that makes foils 3:4 boxes. That equates to 520 total relics + 1560 foils = 2080 total boxes or 10,400 total packs.
If there are 2080 boxes here are some interesting numbers for some of the cards:
- Hex Fractor 2080 boxes / 60 total Hex’s = 1:34.6 per box odds. Nice odds for a 1/1
- Celebrity Wrapper 2080 total wrappers / 5 subjects = 416 of each Wrapper card
- Character Variations 2080 boxes / 16 odds = 130 total variations / 5 subjects = 26 each Character Variation
- C Names 2080 boxes * 2 odds – 130 variations = 4030 total C Names / 30 subjects = 134.3 each C Name
- Base Cards 10,040 packs * 7 per pack = 72,800 total base cards / 60 subjects = 1,213.3 each base card.
