But by 1998 it had become pretty wild - 8 cards, 11 cards, 16 cards, 40 cars, retail, hobby, HTA, Blasters, etc.

Before I go too much deeper - is anyone aware of a source that already might show all the packaging options for a given year? TCDB and the Baseball Card Pedia each are lacking material that a quick e-Bay search provides.
Many years ago, through about 2007 or 8 I wrote many of the distribution methods for the Beckett OPG. Here is an example of that. It stops in either 2007 or 2008

The information you want is in the set information field.
