Thats what makes this set incredible. Even when you think your done, your not. Right now i'm at 1338/5865. The 5865 number is the total if you add up all the possible confirmed and unconfirmed cards from the T206Resource website. I have over time seen other numbers for a complete set and I guess it just depends on what list you reference. That would be a good topic, how many do you think are in a complete master monster set and why?
Here's some other info from my set so far. Most of the cards are raw but would grade anywhere between a 2 and 4. Close to 1200 of the cards are Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, Polar Bear, and Sovereign. The rest are of the less common backs. I'm around 400 different cards if collecting the basic front set. I've only bought one card since the end of November 2012 and don't know why. Maybe it was the holidays or the possibility of the end of the world or maybe life has just been too busy or that my health hasen't been great lately. All I do know is I have around 4527 cards to go. If anyone was wondering what that one card was that I bought, it was a George Mullin Throwing with harder to find Piedmont 350 back.

Hi Ron-
Just wanted to say congrats on what you've already accomplished- that's an amazing amount of T206's !!! Good luck on the remaining 4,527
.
I was wondering if you had a strategy going about this. I am really only going for a front set as well (all though I want a nice blend of backs, I'm more focused on the fronts), but I am not going for a super set. 518 would be cool with me. I am not using any type of strategy~ just picking up one's I know I don't have. I am trying to be somewhat consistent on on the grade range (VG to VG-EX), I'll take lower grade cards that present well for the grade.
I was also wondering if there were any cards during your quest that were notably harder to find than others?
Thanks, and hope you are feeling better.
Sincerely, Clayton
