Hence, there are fewer cards available for those in the beginning of the set and more towrds the end. There is only 1 EC Now parallel for card #1, 2 of card #2, and so on. Griffey is card #76 in this year's set, so there are 76 EC Now cards of Griffey available. <br /><br />The trade-off is the "Future" parallel which is numbered to the sum of 103 (the total # of cards in the base set +1) minus the card #. Hence, the later the card appears in the base set, the fewer EC Future parallels there are to be had. There are 102 EC Future parallels of card #1 and only one of card #102.<br /><br />The closer to the middle of the base set a card appears (cards 50, 51, 52, for example), the more comparable the rarity between the two parallels. But if you're chasing parallels of cards that appear very early or late in the set numerically, you are going to have trouble finding at least one of those parallels.<br /><br />The Essential Credentials parallel is the only one I know that does this, and it was done the same way every year.The Junior Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276740693294231134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047326403910235658.post-84507680770207490352015-10-26T16:25:45.978-05:002015-10-26T16:25:45.978-05:00I'm going to bite:

Where does 103 come from? And are you saying that of the 103, 76 were deemed now, which made 27 deemed future. Why such odd numbers? Where does the 76 come from?JediJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261262040532716901noreply@blogger.com
