Anyone familiar with 1997 unopened Bowman wax??

How do the auto's run? Does a certain number of auto's go with series 1 and certain number with series 2? Looking for Halladay, basically. image

    There are 45 autos in the set.

    Blue autos are 1 in 96 packs
    Black autos are 1 in 503 packs
    Gold autos are 1 in 1509 packs

    Halladay's #35 in the set, so you'll probably find him in Series 1 packs, assuming that #1-45 are in Series 1 and #46-90 are in Series 2.

    So, odds are that you'll find 1 auto in every 4 boxes, and even then, it's only a 1:45 chance that that auto will be a Halladay.

    You may spend less money just buying a Halladay by itself than digging through boxes looking for one.

    If I remember correctly, they're skip numbered.

    That makes sense. Halladay's base card is in series 2, so even numbers must be in Series 1 packs, and odd numbers must be in Series 2 packs.
