What does it mean for a sports card to be numbered 84/X?

A card numbered 84/X is the 84th copy out of its parallel's print run, where X varies by set and parallel. A 84/99 is the 84th of 99, a 84/25 is the 84th of 25, and so on. The /X notation is collector shorthand for "of any print run."

Why do collectors care about cards numbered 84?

Collectors hunt 84/X cards for a range of reasons: it might match a jersey number, a birthday day, a card number, or simply be a numerator they collect across all parallels. Each 84/X copy is one-of-one for its specific print run.
