What this is
Line up the dated cumulative counts; check Cardrake's per-year counts against the kept dataset sums to identify its basis (total incl. secret rares, plus promo sets in promo-heavy years).
The values
- Wikipedia Sept 2017: 9,110
- Dataset sum of totals to 30 September 2017 (boosters+specials): 8,905
- Dataset all rows to 30 September 2017: 9,928
- Cardrake cumulative end-2016: 9,150
- Cardrake cumulative end-2017: 9,887
- Cardrake August 2026: 20,493
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:
Show the working
- (20493-9887)/20493 = 0.5175
- 20493/9887 = 2.07
- Cardrake 2000 = 588 = sum_total 2000
