5% would mean there are 2360 copies out there of a card that is only found in the 150 series. That number is too high considering most people believe the easy to find commons numbers between 2000-3000. 10% would mean there are 1180 out there which is probably not close either, but I said "somewhere between" those two numbers because I didn't want to guess 6.2% or 7.1%, so I just ballparked it. I would guess it's actually between 6-7% to put in a better estimate.
