2003 Bowman Chrome xfractors

[markakis8]

They are not serial #'d on the back. Were they pretty common or did they have a limited print run (like the F/X blues having only 25 copies)

They're not scarce at all, as far as I know. About 2/3rds of the set is available on COMC, most for 70%-90% off BV.

Ok, weren't 2004 xfractors #'d/125? That's the only reason I asked. Topps is so finicky with their #'ing system.

For some reason #'d/172 comes to mind....

Wasn't that 2003 BC Gold Refractors that were numbers to /172?

Yeah or close to that...for veterans

They came in uncirculated cases too, I believe.

For BCDP (don't recall info from BC and believe they were different, but in case this is what you are looking for) The print run was pretty low IIRC. I remember /250 for RC Auto's (and googled an article that agrees) and I believe the print run was less for non-signed cards, maybe 150 though someone else can confirm (or tell otherwise.)

According to the Beckett Almanac:

"2003 Bowman Chrome X-Fractor cards numbered 1-330 were issued at a stated rate of one in nine hobby packs.
Autographed cards numbered 331-350 (with the exception of 332, Jose Contreras) were issued at a stated rate of one in 199 hobby packs at a stated print run of 250 sets.
The 332 Jose Contreras was issued at a stated print run of 50 sets.
The 351 Willie Mays card was issued at a stated rate of one in 58 box loader packs."

So....20 xfractor autos totaling 4800 copies. They fall every 199 packs or 1 every 11.05 boxes. 4800 x 11.05 = 53,040 boxes made. Base xfractors fall 1 every 9 packs OR 2 per box. 53,040 times 2 = 106,080 base xfractors.

106,080/330 = around 321 xfractors each for #'s 1-330.

Not sure of the #ing but they are in uncirculated cases.
