Any idea on 2014 Topps Chrome Pulsar print run?

Accidentally bought one off eBay thinking it was Bowman chrome...just had a lapse of concentration haha. Any idea on the print run of these?

Now the Mini Pulsars were numbered to /102 or something. But yeah they are in abundance in 2014 as the presses ran overtime.

This got me thinking about the set of green refractors I put together. Those were also one per box, as were the Blue Wave refractors. At the time, I was curious on the print run as well and did some math based on the results from some online case breaks. I landed on /699 to /799 range.

With 5 years since release, I did a bit of sleuthing in the PSA pop reports. If I had to wager, they are firmly numbered to 699 or less. Below are the three pop reports for the top rookies. I spot checked a few other rookies, and the ratios are pretty close. I also pulled the COMC inventory if interested.

It's a shame Topps didn't number these...they are worthy. Also, the set!

Gold are #/50 and land about 1 per hobby case if I remember correctly
Pulsars land about 12 per hobby case

So I’d say 600 is close for a print run unless they were available in retail then you would have to include the retail run

Well 600 isnt terrible I guess.... definitely not the /112 I was expecting when I thought it was Bowman pulsar but I guess it is what it is

Golds are not guaranteed in a hobby case, and 0 golds is more likely than 2.

IIRC, there were about 11500 to 12000 hobby cases, so with the 3 unnumbered hobby colors being 1 per box, there would be around 700 of each.
