First, is their a way to determine the print run of a non serial #ed card, for instance. Last year, i pulled The David price, White uniform, card # 401B, from 2009 UD series 1. The card books for $100 (High Book), so i know their are at least 25, but how can you figure out if their are 50??? or 500?? Does UD know the production run or does Becketts???<br />
<br />
Secondly, i wanted to know about Press Proof cards. Are these simply concidered parallel cards??? Or, are these the original proofs of a particular card, making them short prints???<br />
<br />
Thank You in advance. Rory

Unless a company announces a stated run, there ultimately isn't one. Yes, in theory, everything is limited to X number of copies, but it's not all that responsible for me to speculate. There could be a few hundred, there could me more, there could be less. There's no way to know.<br />

"Press Proof" depends on the product and company. Some manufacturers make actual proofs available in non-traditional ways (like the Topps Vault), while others make them as insert cards. It depends on what specifically you are talking about. (They could also be fakes...)<br />
