2005-06 beehive gold

[philip_vandersluis]

I'm trying to get all the subsets and parallels of the 05-06 beehive and I have noticed that the gold parallel AKA beehive back is near impossible to find. The pack odds are I believe 1:480. These cards are not serial numbered, but the rarity of them seems to be I would think 100 or less. Is there any rough way to find out the rough numbers produced? Serial numbered cards from this se r have no pack odds, so you can't narrow it down that way... just wondering....let me know everyone's thoughts on the matter...

If I recall correctly (and that's a big if) the gold parallels of the rookies were normally tougher to find than the Matte parallels of the rookies, which were serial numbered to /25. Most people speculated a print run of 15-20 I think. Does that translate to the veterans as well? No idea. But hopefully this at least helps a little.

Judging by scarcity on ebay I think your numbers have to be pretty close on that.
