It's time once again to work on a new Print Run guide for Dark Explorers! The requirements have changed slightly, since new info and ideas have surfaced since the last print run.
BUT FIRST: What is a "print run"?
* A "print run" is where we determine, well, the print run of an entire set. Like the order of the cards on a sheet of cards before they were cut, how often (or NOT often) a card appears in the set, and so on... and this is all using information found in your packs of cards. (Magic players do this ALL the time, so it MUST be useful for us to do it, right??)
* The print run is NOT where you just share what rares you got in your booster box. That's a completely different thing, meant for a completely different thread.
So how can you help out? SIMPLE: all you need to do is write down the number of the cards in your pack, and write them in order, as well as what Pokémon you got on your pack... Like so:
* P / C C C C C / H R / U U U
...where P = Pokémon on your Pack, C = Common, H = reverse Holo, R = Rare and U = Uncommon
For example, in this pack (of Emerging Powers) I got, the cards were:
* Cobalion / 60 44 80 70 33 / 25 63 / 45 11 14
Simple, huh?
Even if you buy only ONE PACK, that is STILL enough to help contribute!!
.........................
FOR THOSE OF YOU GETTING BOOSTER BOXES:
You can help out by recording the order that your packs were found in in the booster box. It doesn't matter how you order it (left side or right, top down or bottom up, whatever), just as long as you tell me what order they're in. Likewise if you get a booster CASE, just record the order the boxes appear in the case.
ALSO: I have been told that, on the inside flap of the booster box, there is a printed code number there. I'm not at home to see if it's there myself, but if you see it, share that info too. I have been told by people that they noticed many similar cards appearing in similar coded boxes.
....
Anyways, I thank EVERYONE who helps with this little project! Hopefully it'll become one that rivals Magic's print run projects!
LAST REMINDER: Don't worry about this project being used to "cherry pick" rares with. I figure it would take some 3000 packs (with ALL of them in order) before anyone can figure out how to "cherry pick" packs. Now I only got about 450 to 500 packs from the last set, and they weren't all in order, so we're a LONG ways off...
