Some dodgy resellers would open boxes and weigh the packs to try and jag one for themselves and resell the dudsI don't think too many people will be weighing up to 240 packs to find a different weight in a newsgency that will usually only have 1 or 2 boxes on display.
Do you take your scales with you card shopping??
Was thinking exactly the same....If its a success I would expect it to be replicated next year and possibly go one further.....a green version #/10.
I reckon we will see
Ruby #/40
Sapphire #/20
Emerald #/10
Just my thoughts.

It didn't but would be interesting if it went to Ebay and got a lot more exposure....Most people would just not consider them as part of the set reducing demand
one of the 1/1 signatures didnt sell with a starting bid of $2300 by the looks of it...
Would be a great challenge no doubt....until some f***wit buys 1 of each number to prevent anyone from getting a set all numbered the same and puts them on Ebay at 10x the going rate.....just because they canOk, here is something to consider....
630 cases
6300 boxes
151,000 packs total
Now say the teams with 10 Mojo cards per team (160 total cards).
Now have the Mojo Cards packaged individually.
#/40 fall 1 in 23.6 packs - 1 per box - like the old Collectors Choice Gold Signatures
#/20 fall 1 in 47.3 packs - 1 every 2 boxes
#/10 fall 1 in 94.5 packs - 1 in every 4 boxes
Every box would have a mojo card of some sort, some may have 2 different ones.
Now the reason why this would appeal for ESP is that it makes these cards a huge chase to complete and would continue to drive sales with people looking for these specific cards.
Collectors can now just buy the whole set all at once, imagine the trading and busting for people a) trying to put a specific (or all 3 sets together) and then b) the ultimate chase trying to get all the same numbers! Some people would be put off by this, but some would see it as a huge challenge!
Just a thought!

Cornering the market on these would be the issue, both for players and specific numbers. I say do them via in-numbered redemption, collect all 10 and send them in and they are sent back in number order
Matt, I can fully understand where you are going with the stats, but this all depends on ESP.The issue is you are adding the cost of $10 per redemption card to the manufacturer not to mention the time to fulfil redemptions.....an overhead they would want to avoid.
As an example, 150 x 4 (unsigned) 50 x 4 (signed) + 130 x 1 (Matai) in this year alone.
= 930 redemptions to be sent out.....estimate $10 per card to be shipped, thats close to 10K on redemption costs.
If they could get jersey cards into packs without the need for filler cards (blanks to eliminate pack searching) they would.
Christ sake they are only paying around 125 a box now.
I think this would only increase player hoarding. Instead of forking out for a set of 9 someone could just collect all the Thurstons Smiths etc for a lot less.I agree with @Matt26 and believe there will be a /10 mojo in Elite 17.
The mojo's this year look great and have created lots of interest however they were stacked into dealer cases which would be fine if the newsagent cases were considered retail boxes and were $6.99 or cheaper.
I also think that they should be spread out one per box via redemption to stop player hoarding. More value needs to be added to a basic box, the YG sigs should be dropped to /390 and be one per box also
As did mine.My newsagent had box cards.
