Talked to UD to check in on my case hit replacement and ask about the scarcity of the various alternate back color autos

Red, at 1 a case, (total 699 autos) there are some severe short prints.
Tiger Woods is 1/1 (he may be for all colors but black)
Highest print run of redemptions is 17

Blue, at 1 every 2 (total 350 autos) cases even shorter prints:
Highest redemption print run is 9, lowest is 1 (Woods again)

Purple, at 1 every 4 (total 175 autos) cases
Highest redemption print run is 5

This is not to say that some cards were not packed out and redemptions made to go with, but for many of these guys, redemptions are all there are.

Thanks for the scoop, good to know some ballpark figures on this stuff.

Man the Tiger autos are going to bring in a fortune if they ever surface.

I would kill for something of Tiger out of this product, but looks like it will be tough to pull one or even find one out there ... but here is to positive thinking :D .

Also when you mention the redemptions being printed at no more than 17 does that count the Mammoth cards?

Nope, just the autos. The print runs for the fossils depend on the card. There are only 2 of the TRex teeth cards, and only a few of each of the other teeth. The Rhino and Mannoth have counts into the 100-200 range. The Auroch I believe is only to 65.

Here's something new: The fossil cards are split between minis and full size. I hadnt thought to look before, but looking this morning, and it looks like the pieces that could be cut small are in the minis, whereas the teeth are all on the full size cards. I can't wait to get my redemptions in.

got any info on just the normal mini parallels?

Looking at the UD site:

2008 FA-AT Aterian Scraper SP - mini
2008 FA-AU Auroch Femur - mini
2008 FA-NE Neolithic Stone Tools SP - mini
2008 FA-NM Neanderthal Mousterian Flint Knife SP- mini
2008 FA-PT Pterosaur Tooth SP - full
2008 FA-ST Spinosaurus Teeth SP - full
2008 FA-TT Tyrannosaurus Rex Tooth SP - full
2008 FA-WM Woolly Mammoth Femur - full
2008 FA-WR Woolly Rhino Humerus - mini

Well I am glad I do not know ya. Would hate to be killed over a card even if it is Tiger Woods.

Nothing other than the stated odds. My guess is that these are distributed equally.

Well yeah I figured as much, but like roughly how many red backs or blue backs are there for each player.

There are 196ish cards in the set. My guess is 3 reds, 2 blues, 1 purple, but the odds say 3 reds, 1 full set of blues plus some spares, and not quite 1 full set of purple.

Saw a Tiger Hall of Legends on the bay. was at i believe $300 when I checked

Yeah one went for $300. The hall of legends are 1 per case, but its clear the best players are short printed. I pulled the Mr Hockey, the Bourque, and the Mike Weir, so I'm considering doing the set, if I can get a Tiger. The Gretzky is only $100. If I hit a couple good pulls I can cover that. Someone on here has it, but I havent been able to talk him out if it.... yet.

I like your numbers, especially with my Sidney Crosby with the blue back!

The numbers have come up a bit because UD restated the odds, it's basically double what is listed here.

If I had to guess, the print runs based on this math, and assuming no partial sets of each back, I'd say:

Red /7
Blue /5
Purple /2

Has anyone seen any place where they have the different colored backs placed next to each other, so you can see the difference? I know it's ink color, but it's hard to differentiate between black, brown and red for me (had a handful of eye surgeries over the past year). If anyone knows where I might be able to find this, please let me know.
Thanks!

I have not seen it anyplace but if it helps, the brown backs are closer to tan, the red backs are essentially maroon, and the black backs are dark enough that they should be pretty hard to confuse with the others when set side by side

so would you say the sp auto cards would be to 1/1 for the blue backs why i am aking i hit a monster pull i will post in the box break in a bit any help would be great Terry

Just wondering if anyone got some actual confirmed print runs for the auto's and parallel auto's from this set?

The only things I could get confirmed were for the ones that were redemptions. UD customer support didnt give out any other info.
