I am currently reviewing some court documents from the Bowman v. Topps litigation, and came across the following info in a filing by Bowman. I'm not sure if these numbers have been reported before, but thought that I'd type them out here should they be of interest to anyone:

1939 Play Ball - 24,000,000 cards distributed (on sales of $82,000)

1940 Play Ball - 30,900,000 cards distributed (on sales of $99,000)

1941 Play Ball - 31,600,000 cards distributed (on sales of $43,000)

1942 Play Ball (presumably subsequently printed 1941 cards) - 15,700,000 cards distributed (on sales of $72,000)

1948 Bowman - 63,600,000 cards distributed (on sales of $361,000)

1949 Bowman - 76,000,000 cards distributed (on sales of $420,000)

1950 Bowman - 128,300,000 cards distributed (on sales of $716,000)

1951 Bowman - 100,000,000 cards distributed as of June 15, 1951, with another 100,000,000 in production for distribution the remainder of the season.
