Having just achieved a Monster number of 500 (i.e. 500 different T206 cards, not including back variations), I got to thinking about other T card sets. In addition to T206, I also actively collect T205, T210, and T212 (when I encounter cards at decent prices), and I have decent numbers of most of the other major T sets. Do most of the other collectors with high Monster numbers focus mainly or exclusively on T206, or do a lot of them have substantial numbers of other sets? I'm curious. I just went through my own collection and counted the Monster number equivalent for each set from T200 through T216, and the results are below.

T200: 1
T201: 2
T202: 1
T203: 1
T204: 1
T205: 142
T206: 500
T207: 42
T208: 0
T209-1: 4
T209-2: 15
T210: 80
T211: 6
T212-1: 4
T212-2: 80
T212-3: 41
T213-1: 3
T213-2: 17
T213-3: 4
T214: 0
T215: 2
T216: 2

By my count, that's 948 different baseball T cards. It would be well over 1000 if we included cards with the same front but different backs (which are excluded from the Monster number), and/or my Old Judges and miscellaneous other N baseball cards (which number around 90). Pretty amazing, when I think back to where I was in the early 90s when I got seriously back into collecting.

Is anybody else out there willing and able to figure their "T number"? I'm curious how many other people here have collecting tastes as wide-ranging as mine.
