Those stats are from the time before baseball cards began to rule the world, so can you even imagine what the production numbers of
(a random year) 1973 Topps cards were??? Whatever you think the highest possible number could be, you'd have to make it
tenfold, a
hundredfold or perhaps even a
thousandfold!!
We simply don't realize how colossally overabundant these things we collect are.
