The complaint says those numbers are all just for baseball card production. For instance, for 1949 it says Bowman "distributed more than 76,000,000 cards bearing the names and pictures of baseball players." Similar language is used for the other years.
Now it's always possible something got lost in translation between the company and its lawyers, and that total card run got mistaken for baseball card run. But Bowman's treasurer swore to the accuracy of the document under penalty of perjury.
