I'm trying to figure out what the number in parens next to the rarity description at the bottom of the back of the cards means. Is that how many were made? Because it seems to be occasionally different on EXACTLY the same cards in different player profile card lists.
And how does it factor into the "color" levels. For example, is a Duffy WHITE common base card with number (5,647) RARER than a Puig GOLD super rare base card with (70,087)?

The color levels mean the higher tha card scores. Also it does mean how many cards were made. Whites are the least desirable color out of the 5. The most desirable are Golds and Silvers.

I'm trying to figure out what the number in parens next to the rarity description at the bottom of the back of the cards means. Is that how many were made? Because it seems to be occasionally different on EXACTLY the same cards in different player profile card lists. And how does it factor into the "color" levels. For example, is a Duffy WHITE common base card with number (5,647) RARER than a Puig GOLD super rare base card with (70,087)? Ok, here is a primer: The number in parenthesis is the number of cards that are currently in circulation. So, for example, there are right now 70,087 Puig Gold cards available throughout Bunt. However, the number is not fixed unless the card is "Sold Out" or, in some cases, "Coming Soon" (e.g., the chase for the Coming Soon card has ended). The reason the Duffy White has fewer copies than the Puig Gold is that the Duffy was just recently released. Puig has been part of the core set for a long time and is released commonly in the rookie packs, which inflates the number. Always keep in mind that if a card is not "Sold Out" or "Coming Soon" as described above, more are being released through the packs. Given two or three more months, it is possible that the Duffy White outnumbers Puig Gold. Now, if all cards are created equal, the "color" levels will denote how many there will be of the same card. There will typically be a lot more common cards than gold cards, for example. |

Aha. Thanks much for the primer.
To get a little deeper: Are all cards in a color level created equal?
In the end, will all cards in the same rarity level have the SAME number of cards in circulation? By the end of the run I mean...

In the end, will all cards in the same rarity level have the SAME number of cards in circulation? By the end of the run I mean... All cards in a color level are not created equal. Think of the better actual MLB players out there. Felix Hernandez is infinitely better than Duffy and as such a Felix Hernandez gold is worth more than a Duffy gold. All cards in the same rarity level will likely not have the same number of cards in circulation. Again, some base cards were released later on during the season and there is no feasible way for these to catch up. Also, inserts, although Super Rare, will never have the same circulation number as base cards. |
