No, I don't have card release dates for any of the previous years cards. It is not a field that they include. Even though I am pulling it this year it still requires some manual work on my part.

If only I knew someone that did...

Year----# Available at 4/27 -----Non-Sellable ---- %
2021 --- 224 --- 114--- 51%
2022 --- 257 --- 90 --- 35%

2025 increase in sellable % is 100% because of all the packs. 2026 will get there too, its just skewed because of WBC programs and live series collection.

Also wondering how it counts the spring breakout cards which have both sellable and non sellable versions

Can you give me an example of one (spring breakout that is sellable or not) and I will look at it's raw data in the file and see what that field says.

There are not multiple versions of the same card in the database. I can say that.

Wetherholt

If you get him through the conquest pack he is no sell. If you get him through the event pack (or the shop pack) he is sellable

Wetherholt is flagged as Sellable in the file.

nteresting test of hypothesis. Though, to make it more accurate, is there any way to adjust the results so that the prior year numbers only count cards released as of 4/27 in their respective years?

But your instinct is right that we need to not jump the gun too badly on 2026 and see how it shakes out in the long run. We use the term in baseball all the time and it relates to this too - "Small Sample Size".

Given the number of TA cards and LS Collection rewards, I would think earlier in the year you would see a higher % of non-sellable cards as compared to the rest of the year. And as the year continues, the % of non-sellable cards would go down.
