Well, it seems apt that I talk about numbers one more time, but not in relation to the National Dex as has been the case for the past several days. Instead, it's about the cards of TCGP, which like its physical brethren also has cards of the numbered and overnumbered sort. Of these, it's the former that I want to focus on with regard to my collection status. It becomes a practical way to gauge that status and to see which packs I want to or should focus on opening.
For the first major expansion (Genetic Apex) and the minor Themed Booster Pack (Mythical Island), I have 214 out of 226 of the numbered cards for the former and 67 out of 68 for the latter. With only 13 cards missing in total, it's a pretty good turnout for these, and I can stand to complete the missing cards with trades and/or point purchases; opening a pack of these can be reserved for a blue moon or when curiosity still strikes.
Next, there is the Space-Time Showdown major expansion, for which I have 141 out of 155 numbered cards. For the following Themed Booster Packs of Triumphant Light and Shining Revelry, I have 68 out of 75 and 67 out of 72 numbered cards respectively. With 26 cards across these three, I may need to go over these expansions to open up a few more packs before considering doing the same thing as with the previously mentioned expansions.
Then there is the major expansion of Celestial Guardians, of which I have 117 out of 155 numbered cards (38 missing), and the Themed Booster Packs of Extradimensional Crisis, of which I have 54 out of 69 numbered cards (15 missing). For these, it seems rather obvious that I need to open up quite a few more packs, especially for the former, and there will be some continued effort to get numbered cards in this manner.
Considering that the way of the TCG in any form is to get cards randomly from opening packs, there too might be an element of randomness in the progress of obtaining certain cards, especially the "common" numbered cards as above. From my progress, things appear to be close for some of the expansions and somewhat farther for the others, but all appear to be rectifiable by getting some more packs opened up to continue to follow the game's norms.
