Artifacts - Something doesn't make sense...

[tkmullin]

Am I weird in thinking that these numbers don't make sense? Shouldn't the patch versions for each color variation be a lower production run that the jersey version?


Tundra Tandems Black Jersey #1/1
Tundra Tandems Black Patch #/5

Tundra Tandems Emerald Jersey #/35
Tundra Tandems Emerald Patch #/40

Tundra Tandems Gold Jersey #/10
Tundra Tandems Gold Patch #/15


Tundra Trios Black Jersey #1/1
Tundra Trios Black Patch #/5

Tundra Trios Emerald Jersey #/15
Tundra Trios Emerald Patch #/40

Tundra Trios Gold Jersey #/5
Tundra Trios Gold Patch #/15

... WTF? I get a headache every time I try to figure out what Upper Deck is thinking...

 

[canesice]

the checklist is messed up. it indicates that the base card emerald is /35, when it is /50 - at least for some players..

While that might make sense (what you said) it's not the case. Patches are more plentiful than jerseys.... for the same colour.

Here's the colours (for Duals):

Jeresys:
Bronze /125
Silver /75
Emerald /35
Gold /10
Black /1

Patches:
Emerald /40
Gold /15
Black /5


Is that the wrong way to do it? Meh. Who's to say? There's no 1/1 patch.... and only the last three levels of 'colours' (rather than all 5) move from Jersey to Patch.

Some of the really low numbered or 1/1 jerseys seem to be tag pieces, maybe they think it's better than a patch?

Nothing about Artifacts makes sense. Believe me, whenever a card pops up, I have to check three times to make sure I don't have it.
