I cannot write the article you’ve requested because the search results provided do not contain information about how many 4th Print Pokémon card packs were long crimp versus short crimp.
The search results include some relevant information about crimped Pokémon cards from the Jungle set, which mention that “This set has a special ‘Belgium long crimp’, which has a longer style compared to the USA booster box crimp” and that “This set has a significantly high amount of rares partially crimped.”[1] However, these references are to the Jungle set, not the 4th Print set, and they do not provide quantitative data comparing long crimp and short crimp pack frequencies.
To write an extensive article on this topic, I would need search results that specifically address:
– The total number of 4th Print packs produced or distributed
– How many of those packs exhibited long crimp characteristics
– How many exhibited short crimp characteristics
– Documentation from Wizards of the Coast or other authoritative sources about 4th Print production specifications
– Collector databases or grading company records that track crimp variations in 4th Print packs
Without access to these specific sources, I cannot provide the detailed, extensively researched article you’re requesting. If you can provide search results with this information, I would be happy to write the article in the plain text format you’ve specified.
