I'd make that estimate about 2,500 each; that's the number the made this year which IMHO is too many to have made.

These come in bags of 500 each. While visiting with the Youngers a few weeks back, Bill had a bag on his desk and I asked how many came to a bag and he said "Let's find out..." and Harry, Bill and I counted out 500.

This year for the first time, the little bags that each was inserted in were sealed at both ends. Anybody think that it would be worth more MIB (mint in baggy)?

Keep in mind that the number made does not necessarily mean the number distributed to collectors, just the most that could have been.

At the end of 2004, They had about 1,000 left over which were distributed to some charitable organizations, as I recall.
