2012 National Treasures RPA rank

[KJCBALLER]

Trying to figure out something....maybe you all can help? I calculated 174 Luck "true" rookies in this set. There are 34 other RPAs in the set. So total you have 6090 RPA. If you get 1 RPA per box and 4 boxes in a case. That would mean there are only 1522.5 cases. Someone please help me out if I am messing something up....

Really think Wilson is a $1k+ card at peak?

RPAs won't come out one per box, it'll be more like one for every 2-3 boxes. And unless I'm mistaken, there are other rookies with a higher print run than 99 (199, I'm assuming), so that will bump the numbers too. They're probably producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-6000 cases.

Okay... so 6264 then divide by 4 = 1566 cases?

I think all of the cards in the set top out at /99.

KJCBaller - you also forgot brado's point. The RPA's haven't fallen one per box in a couple years, they will be 2 maybe 3 per case. With the higher end vet on-card auto's and now the books being introduced most likely as box hits you can safely double to triple your estimate. I had a couple cases last year that only yielded me 1 RPA. Figure closer to 4500 cases.

On the topic, I think David Wilson will be in the top 10 because he is probably the starter for the Giants with Bradshaw gone.

Also, the base rpa are /99 and rpas are usually 2 to 3 in a case.

It all depended on the patch. The panther heads /49 were 2k-2.2k out the gates, while the regular 3 colors /99 were around 1300-1500

I think Wilson/Blackmon will be tied for 10 spot. I remember getting 2-3 per case last year and the Vet autos being another hit. Now we get books and plates.

Exactly, I think the /99 peaked at $1400 or so. but the /49 and /49 ranged from $1900-$2800 or so
