“Print Run” Analysis
Before I say too much, I just want to say this: it’s not exactly possible to determine a “print run” for this set, by virtue of the fact that there are just so little cards to pull any kind of appreciable data from it.
HOWEVER! There is still a very interesting pattern with the packs of this set. That is to say… as mentioned above, a pack of McDonald’s cards contains four cards: one holofoil card and three randomly inserted cards. Now very early on I noticed that certain Pokémon would only appear in certain “slots” within those three randomly inserted cards. I took note of the cards I got in a pack and their position, and low-and-behold!, they actually DO follow a pack position pattern!
- For the sake of clarity, I will label the position of the pack as:
- HOLO: the first card in the pack
- (POSITION) A: the first nonholo card, the ones after the holo card
- (POSITION) B: the second nonholo card
- (POSITION) C: the third nonholo card, and the last card in the pack
Here’s a quick overview of my discovery:
