When new, it was 300 pieces total, in 6 small bags of 50 pieces each. There are 5 unopened bags. Only one bag has been used, with 4 pieces taken out. I made a hole from the pointed end without opening the bag, so I haven't touched the remaining pieces. When shipping, I may take some of the small bags out of the beige packaging to reduce the thickness. In that case, I will not pack them without the bags, so please rest assured.
