Player Collectors: What % do you have of your player's total print run?

LWMM · Nov 17, 2015

With there being a general dearth of new Gomes cards to pursue, I've begun picking up more and more duplicate serial numbered cards. A shipment of about 200 of these arrived today from COMC, and that got me wondering: How many total serial numbered Gomes cards have been produced, and how many do I have? 1.4 percent, it turns out.

Year Have/Produced

2002 115/10887
2003 15/3327
2004 101/7574
2005 95/4060
2006 295/13439
2007 138/6179
2008 38/5474
2009 23/2280
2010 8/2074
2011 24/4980
2012 19/2340
2013 45/3009
2014 186/11809
2015 3/2236
Total 1105/79668 1.4%

The top 3:
19 copies: 2002 Just Prospects auto /1200
20 copies: 2014 Bowman Blue /500
22 copies: 2006 Upper Deck Future Stars Purple /1799

How about you?

Posting to post later. I know I have 16 of 50 of the '06 Ultimate Ensembles Triple auto w/Verlander & Weaver, 23 of the SPR '06 Sweet Spot Sweet Beginnings Patch and 7 of the 15 '08 UD Ballpark Logo Tag's.

With the Moments & Milestones and things like that, it would be a real project to even figure out what the total print run is.

I can't afford many dupes =(

It depends on how you have your collection organized. There's a column in my excel chart for serial numbering, so a couple SUM functions did all the work for me.

OMG, I would never count each individual serial numbered card. A slew of the early 90s inserts were numbered to 25,000. Forget that!

Not even I have gone this far.......yet

I have .000001% of everything ... I don't collect duplicates at all. I do collection variations like crazy though!

gracecollector · Nov 18, 2015

Can you imagine the statistics for Griffey? Can't imagine how many total different serial numbered cards there are.

For a player like Gomes, this exercise probably isn't too hard. But for any superstar it's quite daunting.

I don't usually collect dupes, so I'm not even remotely curious about this stat, maybe a little to know how many different serial numbered cards are out there.

I don't collect Olerud dupes either, though I have been tempted at times to complete a "set" of a low numbered card. But my budget is pretty limited though, and there are enough different cards to chase.

Approximately 201,660 across 1,585 serial numbered cards (mean: 127 copies per card), per Beckett. Excluding the 383 1/1s would get you 201,277 copies across 1,202 cards for a mean of 167 copies per card.

Meanwhile, the 100 highest numbered Griffey cards (from 10,000 to 2,500 copies), of 9,287 Beckett recognized serial numbered cards, have a combined run of 594,089 copies. And that's not counting the other 9,187 cards which have print runs of anywhere from 1 to 2,500.

Yet: Key word!

Also, you have 213 1/1s? Wow.

It would take me some investigating, but this number seems low. Griffey literally had close to 100,000 serial numbered cards with Moments and Milestones alone.

200k is the number for Mark Grace.

600k is for 100 cards alone of Griffey. Adding up the print runs of all 9,000+ serial numbered cards would undoubtedly show more than a million copies produced.

Ah, got it, thanks.
