Not all formats are weighted equally in print-run calculations.

Topps does not publicly disclose print runs for non-serial-numbered cards. Instead, overall production scale can be inferred by anchoring calculations to serial-numbered parallels that appear across multiple box formats.

By evaluating odds consistency across formats and solving for total pack output, we can estimate total production with reasonable accuracy. These figures are intended to reflect directional production scale, not precise card counts.

Assumptions Made with Calculations

• Odds are evenly distributed across all produced packs

• All advertised box formats were fully produced by the manufacture

• No late-run odds adjustments materially impacted distribution
  
  

To estimate total pack production by box format, we perform a series of calculations that compare the known print count of a given serial-numbered parallel against its published pack odds. When multiplied across formats, this approach yields an implied pack total for each configuration.

Because Topps odds frequently introduce rounding variance or format-level weighting, individual anchors can produce slightly different results. To account for this, we apply a weighted averaging methodology across multiple serial anchors to arrive at a more stable estimate of total pack production.

Based on this process, estimated total pack production is as follows:

Estimated Total Pack Production

• Hobby: 1,359,267

• Jumbo: 774,422

• Breakers Delight: 49,411

• Blaster (Value): 3,148,589

• Mega: 1,466,144

• Fanatics Mega: 1,466,144

Print Runs Details

Once total pack production has been estimated, those figures can be translated into per-card print-run estimates for non-serial-numbered cards. The totals presented below represent the estimated number of copies produced for an individual card, not the combined population of an entire base set, parallel run, insert set, autograph checklist, variation group, or relic subset.

Validations

In addition to estimating production for non-serial-numbered cards, we perform a validation check using known serial-numbered parallels. Because pack odds are often rounded or unevenly weighted across formats, small deviations between expected and implied serial counts are common.

To quantify this, we calculate a deviation score, defined as the average variance between expected and calculated print totals across the full population of serial-numbered cards analyzed. A deviation score of 0.00 would indicate perfect alignment between published odds and derived production estimates. Scores may be either positive or negative, reflecting over- or under-estimation relative to expected totals.

Deviation Score — 2025 Topps Chrome Update Baseball: +1.26

Disclosure

These print-run estimates are based on publicly available odds and observed odds alignment across formats. While Topps odds are generally reliable, minor production variances or unannounced late-run adjustments may affect exact totals.

All figures should be viewed as informed estimates rather than official disclosures.

FAQ

Are these official Topps print runs?

No. Topps does not publicly release print-run data for most products, particularly for non-serial-numbered cards. The figures presented here are independent estimates derived from published pack odds and known serial-numbered parallels. They are intended to provide transparency into relative production scale, not to represent official disclosures from Topps.

How accurate are these estimates?

These estimates are designed to be directionally accurate, meaning they reliably capture the relative size and scale of a product rather than exact card counts. Accuracy is highest when multiple serial-numbered anchors converge across box formats. When odds alignment is inconsistent or retail odds are limited, results are presented with appropriate confidence qualifiers.

Why do your numbers differ from other sites?

Differences typically arise from methodology. Many estimates rely on a single serial anchor, assume equal weighting across formats, or exclude certain box configurations entirely. ChasingMajors uses all serial numbered cards in our model, cross-format validation, and unique weighted averaging to account for odds rounding and format-level variance. This often results in estimates that differ from simpler models, particularly for large multi-format releases.

Do retail formats impact scarcity?

Yes. Retail formats such as Blasters, Megas, and Fanatics-exclusive products can materially increase overall card production, especially for base and non-serial parallels. While retail-exclusive parallels may be limited, the additional pack volume significantly expands the total supply of common cards, which can dilute perceived scarcity when compared to hobby-only products.
