The 1 of 1, 1 of 10, 1 of 100, etc. typically happens to be all of the same player. So, yeah overproduced. And then the image variations that have spawned yet another tangent thread of a card.

Then, let's not forget about all the colors of the rainbow. A perceived rarity of a card, that already has been overproduced by the previous stack of numbered cards of a player.

And I forgot, refractors, atomic refractors, nuclear refractors. et. al.

It is really funny to watch how no one wants to go back to the junk card days of the 80's and 90's but the card companies sure have done just that. They just package them differently now.

JMHO
