"Picked out of a hat". I believe it. I was looking at one of the current stars, and I just couldn't make sense of some of the PSA weighting versus the Ebay pricing. Then I looked at some cards that were only 1/50 that had a lower weighting than cards that were 1/999. I've never really used the PSA weighting, but thought it might help with figuring out relative pricing. It didn't help at all and didn't make sense based on how many cards of a certain type should be available. As an example, PSA lists:

__________________________________________________ ____________________Card Num.____Weight____Number Made
2010 BOWMAN PLATINUM PROSPECTS MIKE TROUT GOLD REFRACTOR________________PP5__________3_________X/499
2010 BOWMAN PLATINUM PROSPECTS MIKE TROUT GOLD REFRACTOR-THICK STOCK_____PP5__________6_________X/539

There's nearly the same amount. One is listed as a weight of 6, and the other a weight of 3.
