WhooHoo, so there should be, theoretically, 45 Rares, Yes? Todd "LSJ" <vte...@white-wolf.com> wrote in message news:3A8DCB48...@white-wolf.com... [ quoted text not captured ]

There were actually 12 cards per pack: 2 from the uncommon card sheet, 4 from the vampire card sheet, and 6 from the common card sheet. > > > > 45 packs per box. > WhooHoo, so there should be, theoretically, 45 Rares, Yes? Not exactly. This was what Ian and I were going on about. The "rares" in Ancient Hearts were actually printed on the uncommon sheet - along with the uncommons. There are 37 "rares", each of which was printed twice on the uncommon sheet and 24 "uncommons", each of which was printed five times (if I've counted the rares and uncommons correctly). Add one incidence of Marijava Ghoul, and there's a total of 195 cards on the uncommon sheet (37 X 2 plus 24 X 5 plus 1). Marijava Ghoul was also printed twice on the vampire cardsheet and thus does not turn out to be rarer than the rares. Anyway, the upshot was that the 37 rares show up 74/195 of the time in an uncommon cards slot, the 24 rares show up 120/195 of the time, and the Marijava Ghoul turns up 1/195 of the time. Not worrying about the latter, that gives you approximately (45 * 74) / 195 or approximately 17 rares - but it varies. Fred

Todd, Ancient Hearts came 45 packs per box, and 11 cards per pack.

Ok so far I have gotten 12 Cards per pack, and 45 Packs. I will figure out the rare ratio when I get some time to sit down and sort. :) I did get 1 of the Dreams I was looking for though. :) Todd "Todd R." <grey...@map.com> wrote in message news:3a8dc9ea$1...@news5.newsfeeds.com...
