scarcity vs availability
not into them really at this point but i am trying to do a back run and i'm find what you are finding.
scarcity and availability are two different things though. its entirely possible more 42s exist but they are gobbled up in collections.
its possible they are hidden because people started 42 collections due to the number of cards in the collection. the monster is that. a monster. i think some people set out for conquerable goals and that can easily be a reason why certian backs have dried up.
what we really need is to properly track the card numbers by back. then we would know for sure. i have said this a couple dozen times over the last few years:
if the cards are intentionally different they are different cards. even if they are not intentionally different they can be recognized as different. failure to recognize them as distinct cards is a disservice to the hobby, espcially with all of these triple die cut, uniform, red signature 1 of 1 chance in a bagillion pack pull inserts cards they catalouge, grade and track nowadays.
