Boxes printed and Parallel print runs
To calculate the theoretical maximum number of boxes produced based on the available parallels, we would add up the maximum number of each parallel type according to the parallel numbers available:
- 1/1 parallels: 76 (as there is only of each card in the set)
- #/5 parallels: 380 (as there are 5 of each for 76 cards)
- #/10 parallels: 760 (as there are 10 of each for 76 cards)
- #/25 parallels: 1900 (as there are 25 of each for 76 cards)
- #/49 parallels: 3,577 (as there are 49 of 73 cards. Veterano Autographs do not have /49)
- #/75 parallels: 5,475 (as there are 75 of 73 cards. Veterano Autographs do not have /75)
- #/99 parallels: 3,069 (as there are 99 of 31 cards, Only Eccellenza (excluding Alexander Albon, Logan Sargeant & Zhou Guanyu) & Reliquia have /99)
Adding these all together = 15,237
This is the number for total parallels in the print run.
It is estimated to be around 5,700 boxes of eccellenza to have been printed due to some outliers such as Veterano Autos and Parallel Relqiua's not counting towards the "2 Parallels per box."
