I like math so the odds to pull a card always influences what I am willing to pay for something.
I know of a card that has like the odds to pull listed at over a half a million and was wondering if anyone else knew some cards with very tough odds to pull.
I don't mean calculated odds, I mean the stated odds like printed on a box or wrapper.
The one that I think might be the rarest and largest odds is the 2005 Bowman Chrome A-Rod Throwback Exclusives Autograph #94A-AR - Alex Rodriguez card.
The odds to pull this card was an astonishing 1:614,088 packs.
Does anyone else know of any cards with such high odds like this?
1. Doing a small amount of research, 2013 Topps Series 1 hobby packs had 1:789,912 odds for both Ultimate Chase Autographed Bat Knob Books and Ultimate Chase Autographed Bat Nameplate Books.
2. The A-Rod card you are talking about is clearly not the one you own, and it never will be, no matter how many questions you ask. But I'd give you $50 for it if YOU signed it.
3. If you really "liked math" you would only care about the odds for pulling a specific card, not the stated odds on the wrapper. For example, a card from a 100 card set that has 1:50,000 odds is far more difficult to pull than a card from a 1 card set that has 1:600,000 odds. It is evident that you actually HATE math and just like looking at numbers without thinking about them.
