No, and that's a good point. The Mint documents how many coins are made each year, but no such information exists regarding baseball cards. I think it has been estimated around one million T206 have survived, but nobody knows for sure, and certainly nobody knows how many were printed.

An interesting question that could be mathematically estimated is: what is the attrition rate for vintage cards? For example, what percentage of Old Judges or T206's have survived? Is it 2%, 5%, 10%? I really don't know.
