There is NO WAY for you draw a correlation between the number of cards in the pop report and the number of cards that exist in total.
I happen to have four of these cards in my safe deposit box, and trust me when I tell you they will never be listed on the pop report during my lifetime.
During my last 40 years of driving around the country scouring baseball card and collector stores I have accumulated many other incredibly scarce cards the existence of which would collapse their markets if I released them all at the same time.
When my kids start the sales, you might be among those who run screaming from the collapse. Apologies in advance.

Why would you assume that releasing some of these scarce cards you would "collapse their market"? Unless you are sitting on dozens of each card the current market would most likely absorb them quite easily. Typically new finds and releases of previously unknown material stirs up excitement and actually increases the price of cards that are already out there.
And to clarify, after reading all these posts, I don't think anyone was saying that you can know exactly how many of any card exists just by looking at a pop report. But to say that it can't be used as a guideline to know the general scarcity or the condition sensitivity of a certain card is absurd.
