Coming at it from a different direction, from 1952 to 1990, there were 24,530 cards in the main Topps sets. Therefore, if the 1/1,000 is correct, there would have been 24.53 million packs produced. The fine print on the game card does say that at least one of every card produced in included. In order to get up to 76 million packs, they'd have to put in around 3 of every card. It's more likely they put in 1 of every card and filled it out with many extra cheapos, for instance lots of 1988, 1989, 1990 commons.
