Yeah, so this is the part that's obviously confusing. If Rosen pulled only one Paige card after opening three boxes, then how could they have been produced at the same number ?? Very strange!
If they were in fact printed in equal numbers the company must have destroyed lots of them before releasing them. Aren't these also skip numbered?
