Ah, that was the totals for two boxes, not per box as I leaped
to assume for whatever reason. It all makes sense, now.

Just for further distribution analysis:

I just opened up half a box (18 boosters). I got:

-18 distinct rares (i.e. no duplicates)

-About 2-3 of each vampire (I got 1 of a couple and 4 of a few, but
mostly 2 or 3)

-About 6 of each common (I got 5 of a few, 7 of a few, and 8 of one of
them)

So almost a full set out of 18 boosters, mostly enough of each common
and each vampire (although I sadly only got 2 Anarch Converts, the guy I
want, like, 10 of). Very good distribution.

Usually the main reason for economy of scale comes from the fact that you can use more automation and still cover your fixed costs; and I would have thought the activity of rolling new boosters off a production line, was a lot more amenable to automation than the activity of fishing used boosters out of the sea, shipping them back to the factory, disassembling, cleaning and inspecting etc? ...
