bcornellI've owned ~125 T222's and finished my set last year - it took winning a complete set from Lipset to cherrypick the 7 last cards I needed.
The "high number" (lower left hand number) is the best indicator of how tough each card is. Anything 12 or higher qualifies and the ones with "15" (Lelivelt, Henry, Johnson, JC Smith, L.Magee, Lobert) are the hardest. Henry is almost certainly the key to this set - I've owned 2 and haven't seen another for sale anywhere in 5+ years. An SGC 40 Lelivelt was sold for >$3K by David Bryan just a few months ago.
I do think you can get to about 40 cards without too much difficulty, as they're available and the prices have come down this year.
