How many items of negligible weight equal one pound. I heard somewhere that it's 10 but I can't find a rule that backs this up.
I need to know because I'm making a gun slinger as a backup character for pathfinder society in case my current one dies, and need to know how many paper alchemical cartridges I can carry.

No it is not 10 because that wouldn't make sense. Paper cartridges wouldn't weight 1/10th of a pound as that is very heavy. Also by what you remember that would mean 10 wax ear plugs would weigh a pound and that is not very realistic.
I would say perhaps between 50 to 100 would add up to a pound depending on the item but I don't think anyone really calculates it as long as you don't get silly.
GM: How many earplugs did you buy?
Player: 500
GM: Umm why?
Player: Because one, they are cheap, two they don't weigh anything, and three because I can.

In the 3.0 PHB there was a notation for "10 of these weight a pound" The only things on the basic equipment list noted as such were wooden holy symbols and signal whistles. There may have been other objects in other books. There was still the annotation for "negligible weight" which covered all the same sort of things that have that note today. 3.5 PHB dropped the 10 to a pound notation, probably figuring it wasn't worth bothering with that level of detail.
While I don't play in society games, my understanding is that they are strict RAW. By the RAW you can have as many "-" weight objects as you can afford.
At my table I'd probably cap you at 10-20 per pound, depending on the object.
I want to say there was a rule, in 3.5 or the Core Rulebook, that it is 50 to a pound (making a single coin the archetype for negligible weight.)
However, I can't provide a citation for that at the moment.
