1991 Donruss: 5mm sets (Estimate from extrapolating from print run of Elite, average number of cases for the hit)
1992 Donruss: 5mm sets (see above)

Hadn't seen this comment, but tried to incorporate into ranges. I'd calculated closer to 2m sets for 1992 Donruss extrapolated from the Elite print run - although have read 1992 production was
reduced from prior years
The 2 million estimate is essentially equivalent to 1:1.5x
case odds for Elite (excl. legend/signature series)
1 case = 20 boxes
1 box = 36 packs
1 pack = 15 cards
1 case = 20 boxes = 720 packs = 10,800 cards
1 Elite = 1.5x case
odds = 16,200
10x Player Elite Set /
10,000 = 100,000 Elite Cards = ~1.6b cards
792-card set (including Series 2 "bonus cards") = /
2,000,000+ per card
