35 Platinum cards per box give or take. Sometimes you get Platinum blue, Emerald or Gold. Take out the inserts/RC’s that count against the number of Red’s /999 and 35 is pretty average.

150 Red’s in the Platinum set each numbered to 999 so there are 149,850 cards out there.

So there should be 4,281 hot boxes made. That’s how many boxes of 35 cards it would take to get to 150K

That tells you there should be 4,281- 8 box inner cases in circulation.

so that’s 34,248 boxes made.

Out of 6- 8 boxes cases I busted so far 1 case was missing the platinum. I asked Panini to send me some Platinum cards to make up for it but I guess they did not hold any back from the "pack-in" so the math should be good.

Just pointing this out for people that think they should sit on a case when they get one. Panini cranked out a lot more of this stuff than people think.

I'm still a fan and I'll be ripping even more of this once the price comes down. Hell cases were going for 499 last week as BIN's on eBay so that might happen soon!
