250 million estimated print run originally.
Anyone have other figures?

I think both numbers are way too low.

Scot Reader once did an analysis which was based on the estimated population of the rare Demmitt and O'Hara (St.L) polar bear where he extrapolated this estimated population to provide an estimate of 3000-6000 of each subject surviving. This would mean 1.6 to 3.2 million surviving total population.

Yes I know I have read Scots publication his estimates were based on the information he had at the time in 2006 when he surmised that there were 200 to 400 each of Demmitt and O'Hara surviving, there are 351 Demmitt's and 320 O'Hara's in the PSA and SGC pops alone.
