If they did buy 300,000 cards, they made a lot of packs. Take away 24,530 for the complete run and another 24,530 for each individual year, that leaves 250,940 cards to be put in packs. With the stated odds of 1/1,000, that's almost 251 million packs. That's quite a bit more than the 1992 production of 77 million packs you cite. Were these only available in wax packs? Assumining they were all in 15 card wax packs (neglecting cellos and rack packs), that's 4.75 million 792 card 1991 SETS just from wax packs. Throw in factory sets and vending boxes (and potentially cello and rack packs) and you're talking a mammoth production run.
