When it comes to the old cards, i go by variations on the front only, i dont care about back variations. Thats me only though, and i can see where many people would want all the back variations also.
For instance, if a player has a card with a white hat and one with a dark hat, to me i need both of them. The same if he has cards with different poses. I have a Yankee T206 team set which for me is 28 cards which as far as i know includes all the variations on the front. Whats on the backs? I dont care!!
As to modern sets, its insane, and i would not consider Burger King or similar things to be part of a regular Topps set. I feel bad for modern set collectors, how can you put together a set with a million cards, blue and purple and gray borders and upside-down inside-out chrome refractors and so on. Its moronic already. Thank God on my modern Yankees i only collect cards i like, i dont bother trying to put team sets together.
