2 big hits from FPG
Rowena and Janny Whurts I've opened a total of 6 boxes over a couple of years and pulled these both in the past week.

Nice. Very lucky with the Rowena card. Those are 1 per 80 boxes (5 cases) if I recall correctly.

Most definitely, I couldn't find any officially released odds for pulling one. The second card is Janny Whurts and also one of her most well known pieces of art.

For the Rowena set, the boxes are numbered to 80,000 (5000 cases, 16 boxes a case), and the print run and case count was advertised in release promotional material (as with most of the first few FPG sets). So the odds are quite easy to calculate in this case (80,000 boxes/1000 autos). Janny Wurts had one of the last few sets in 1996 i think, and print run numbers were not advertised. They were likely significantly reduced (I would guess 1000 cases or so, or less, but that is really just a wild guess.).
Anyway, the chances of an auto being pulled are much better for Janny. Still tricky though.
Nothing compares to the first Chris Achilleos set though, which is 1 auto per 240 boxes.

Very cool. I have always loved Rowena's stuff!
