Remember, if it was tabs caught, they include the weight of those into their numbers. Also Australia has the highest prices in the world for drugs too so the article probably isn't even close to what was really seized.

WTF Australia and their ridiculous customs agents. Let the Australians buy their drugs and live in peace. I'm sure it wasn't $13 million worth...notice they didn't put how much they found, only $$$ amount cause people think 'oh good, now that $13m won't be going into that drug dealers pockets.'

Well considering that's for Australia drugs sell for way more over there than anywhere else in the world. Not exactly sure for LSD but I know Cocaine is worth like 300 dollars a gram there. So 13 million worth of LSD in AUD is going to be less than anywhere else.
It typically goes for $10-15k per gram which is 10,000 hits.
[2 Points] BigFatCat_DNM:
Ok, so, given how police work, they are probably estimating tabs at $15 each, all the way up. So let's go with that. $13m/$15 = ~867,000hits = about 8,700 sheets.
I can only assume there is a few LSD manufacturers large enough to supply such a stockpile, so do you think they're shitting their pants right now, in terms of the dude flipping?

William L. Pickard was selling it in bulk so fast at 0.27 hit

Maybe they weighed the paper and then calculated the price of lsd as if it were pure crystal.

This article is much more detailed, it talks about commercial quantities of it LSD being seized. And "operation spores" targeting LSD in the mail http://m.theage.com.au/victoria/maidstone-man-arrested-after-13m-lsd-seized-20160402-gnws7d.html#ixzz44eJgv85F

At least LE doesn't include any names on their busts.... As if getting yourself detained isnt bad enough, in america your face also gets burned forever as a low life communist drug dealer!

Eh, might have been a binder, but it can't have been that much in Australia

Depends. Police generally overestimate to make themselves seem more significant.
