Question on BLOB stored in the table

Hello cdi folks, When we specify a BLOB column to be stored in the table, it stores the 56-byte description with the row and stores the BLOB data somewhere in that Tblspace. According to Infx documentation a BLOB column occupies at least on page. My understanding is that when ever row is inserted with not null BLOB column, it uses one disk page for the BLOB column apart from storing other columns. Is it correct ?? If not how does it work ?? What I am facing is that I have a table with one BLOB column, it has got 75 rows out of which 60 rows are not null BLOBs. When I give oncheck -pt it reports only 9 pages used. I am wondering what is it reporting ?? Please someone shed light on this ?? Any help is greatly appreciated.
