Default T206 front/back community collection

The Heritage auction got me thinking about collections and I wondered if between all the members of this board, how many T206 front/back combos would be represented?
It looks like the number of possible front/back combos exceeds 5,000, how close would this board get? I couldn't find another thread like this, but sorry if it is a repeat...

Personally, I would bet that adding up the net54 T206 cards, you'd quite easily pass 4000 of the 5000+. If you knock out the near 500 (?) possible super tough backs (Drum, BL460, Uzit, "browns"), you'd might even see close to all possibilities. Just looking at the Monster Numbers, and randomness, you'd probably knock out most Piedmont and SC combinations. There are also a lot of back collectors that could add up a lot of combos.

I'd be one of a spread sheet ................

That would be an interesting idea.

I think you would get real close to complete if all of our members pooled their cards together. Yawl know the 80/20 rule in life. We have around 9300 registered members. My guess is only a few thousand post (over the years). So if all of them (us) got together it would be a lot of T206 combos and probably close to completion.

That would be impressive. I'm actually surprised the number of registered members isn't higher - I can't imagine anybody who is passionate about collecting not stumbling upon this board and wanting to be a part of it.

I'm guessing that if the community collection lacked any super rare front/back combos, Luke's list on thatT206life probably includes one or two: http://www.thatt206life.com/2017/05/...-elite-top-10/
