Haha

I was telling my wife this yesterday, I can either buy or trade for a black one, or I can buy some black paint and paint the extra grey one I have.

Is there a set number of how many of the solid black one are available?

im not sure this information is out there, however based on them being 2/100....I wouldn't think too many. 1 in every 5 cases only....

people who bought full cases clearly want the set so im not sure ebay will see too many of them

Forgive me for not immediately catching on... but what do you mean by "2/100" ?

I've seen several numbers of x/100 when referring to these things, and I don't know what folks are talking about.

I didn't buy any at the shows I went to... I'm out of the loop!

cool

well there are 2 black ones for every 100 made

or a 2% chance of getting that one.

what doesn't seem to work out is the maths however: -

there are 4 sheep with odds of 11/50, a 22% chance. so that is 88%

one sheep that is 7/100.....7%
one sheep that is 1/20 .....5%

and a 2 % chance one (black one)

making 102%....

I'm sure it's rounding. They didn't want to put 10.75/50 or whatever for the common ones. I would guess the rates are correct for the rarer ones and the rounding happens with the common ones.

This is based on nothing more than common sense so take it for what it's worth.
