Print run and price of 97-98 sets?

Post by siuwongkee »

I wonder, do we ever know the print run of 97-98 sets, like 1997 Skybox? I read a post awhile back from another forum it somehow said a 199X skybox was 15k box or case (?). It does not seems a lot. Because when we talk about 97-98 parallels, the story always starts with, after the junk wax era, card company started to lower the print run and doing the serialised cards. So I wonder how many did they print at the junk wax era and how many were print for these iconic sets in 97-98.

Furthermore, since I am asking does any of you remember how much for a pack of 1997-98 Skybox metal, ex-2001. I remembered ex-2001 is suppose to be more expensive than the others. And Flair was expensive also.

There's an account on IG that has been calculating print runs. I don't think this is exactly what you're looking for, but it's the closest I've seen from them

I do not realize parallels like Platinum Medallion or Star Rubies had an odd. It is fun to read, despite I do not think Jambalaya or ultra star gold are having printrun lower than 100. My reasoning is assuming these are really under 100, it does not make sense why 1998 playmarker theatre only has 77 PSA graded (UD choice is another insert set with parallel also very low PSA graded) whilst Jambalaya 388 and 186 (assume it is 15 cards like the other sets). But of cos, this is my speculation and my no 90s insert rules might underestimated the print runs for these inserts.
