Just weighed a random Vivid Voltage Charmander near me. 1.83 grams. No idea what these fake cards would have weighed but should be relatively close.

Using metric tons as this was a China-Netherlands shipments this would lead to 1,000kg / (1.83g/card *1/1000g/kg ) x 7.6 tons = 4.15 million cards.

Pokemon is currently printing 3.7 billion cards per year or roughly 10M per day. Eh. Small shipment. Half day’s work.
