1962
Keith---I am not sure there is one correct hobby answer to that question. The Standard Catalog of Baseball cards and Beckett would both have a checklist, and there is a PSA Registry master set checklist. I have not studied them but my guess is there may be some differences among the 3. Plus I think there would be some 62 collectors, myself among them, who think none of these lists are complete. For example SCD ( not sure about Beckett) lists variations for the 1st, 3d, 6th and 7th checklists. I think differences exist in the 2nd, 4th and 5th as well ( maybe just DP differences ?).
The lack of a unified hobby definition of what constitutes a variation or card variant that should be included in a master checklist makes this a murky question in my mind for all, or at least most, Topps sets. But if you choose one hobby source checklist as your parameter a number can be calculated
