Does anyone know for a fact that there are really many more than 40 booster boxes of Summer Magic out there? If you do the math for 40 booster boxes times 36 booster packs comes out to a total of 1,440 rares then take that number divided by 121 rares in the whole set of revised comes out to roughly 12 of each rare. If it is true that there are only 10 complete sets of Summer Magic in private hands then the number of 40 booster boxes in existence is obviously wrong. Seeing that there would be 10 complete sets out there lets assume that 10% of all available Summer Magic is held by people or stores who own complete sets of it then the other 90% of Summer Magic is owned by people who just have pieces of it and some of that 90% would have been destroyed as well due to natural disaster or other accidental damage. This would lead to there being 100 of each rare or a total of 12100 rares give or take for public hands. This would also mean there would have been roughly 336 booster boxes of Summer Magic available to the retail public and possibly in other areas other than Tennessee or England where they claim that all of the sealed Summer Magic got sold in stores.
