9.7 Billion Pokemon Cards produced in Fiscal Year 2022-2023

An odd thing I just worked out, which might even get ignored, but the cards produced in the fiscal year 2022-23 are enough to cover the average distance between the Earth and the Moon twice.

Each card is 2.5 x 3.5 inches - 6.3cm wide x 8.8cm long. Connecting them top to bottom to create maximum distance. The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,400 km. That’s 8.8 cm x 10 billion, which equates to 88 000 000 000 cm or 880,000 km in total.

An absolutely useless fact, but at least you can impress your dates by saying, “The number of Pokemon cards produced in FY 22/23 is more than double the average distance between the Earth and the Moon.”
