Enjoyed the feedback I got for a recent post on the relative scarcity of the Goudey cards by sheet. I wasn't expecting to make progress beyond that point, but an unexpected bit of luck helped me turn those estimates into absolute numbers for each of the cards in the set.
Please take the work with a grain of salt as it is obviously impossible to be definitive or precise in this sort of work. Still, perhaps you'll find at least parts of the method useful in coming up with your own better estimates.

SPOILER ALERT: If you don't feel like clicking through, it's about 400K for most cards in the set. Of course, four Ruths including a DP jack his numbers up considerably.
