Out of 16 packs, only 2 silvers, and BOTH were Elucidate. What are the odds? (no, don't figure that one out!) And it's still my only silver...

Oh alright then, as I'm very bored. Smile

Including my cards, with the information on this page (but not the skewed data as explained above by frankieroberto) we have

Red 126
Orange 131
Yellow 109
Green 103
Blue 56
Purple 53
Black 27
Silver 5

from 610 cards

Roughly speaking we get:

Red/orange: 1 in 4.75 cards
Yellow/green: 1 in 5.75 cards
Blue/purple: 1 in 11 cards
Black: 1 in 23 cards
Silver: 1 in 120 cards!

Fairly small sample size though, so silvers may well not be quite that rare. Interesting that purples are as common as blues, etc.

1 in 120 cards:

I suppose that's why someone is paying £31 for a card.

Two people in fact...and that's with 2 days left to run on the auctions of both Shuffled and Riemann....The Thirteenth Labour and Syzygy Cube auctions are presently at £21 each, likewise with days left to run.

When will the madness end? Won't somebody think of the children?

Yes, but they can potentially earn 1 million dollars with that particular card Wink

In any case, surely in the coming months these will be the "common" silver cards as they've been out the longest?

I think that (on Saturday at the Expo) MC said they were looking at readdressing the ratios of cards to make it easier to get the harder ones, but I could be wrong. They certainly said that with the first few batches they had problems with the manufacturer not randomising the cards well enough. That would explain the problem of getting two packs with the exact same cards in then! Grrr!
