Yup, Huuuuuge print run, like most things from the early 90's. Truly astronomical odds. Not even at one per case, because I've opened a full case (20 boxes) before for ha ha's, back in the early 2000's, and never pulled one.

Have you seen any sales prices on these? They probably wouldn't even go for much if a few popped up at auction.
A copy of the Charles Williams sold for the $50 minimum bid a couple months ago on eBay. I was watching it, considering the scarcity $50 isn't a bad price at all, but it just seems too much for an unnumbered signature. I don't follow this set closely but I have not seen more than like 2 copies of any particular card. On the other hand I'd rather have 1 of them than 5 unopened boxes. I open a box every year or two just because it's fun and they are pretty much free.


This Pernell Whitaker I had saved in my photo archive is missing the actual signature. I don't know if any signed copies exist or if Whitaker didn't end up signing after all. It would be interesting just to see a true checklist even.
