Default The Other Monsters

Posting in the "What's Your Monster Number?" thread made me think about the other big prewar sets besides T206 with over 400 cards in them, specifically T210 (if you combine all eight series into one set), T212 (if you combine all three years into one), and Old Judges (N172, where the exact number of cards depends on your definitions). I have over 50 from each of these sets, a decent sampling but nowhere near a complete set for any of them. Specifically, I have 64 different T210s, spread across all eight series (but concentrated in Series 1, 2, and 5); 69 different T212s (three 1909, 52 1910, 14 1911) plus six duplicates; and 57 Old Judges, not including one that I have coming in the mail. For Old Judges I'm counting different poses of the same player as different cards; I have three or four of those, so if you're going by number of different players, my total would go down correspondingly.

I know that there are collectors of all three of these sets on this board, and I'm wondering if any of them might be willing to divulge their totals. I'm also kind of curious how common my scattershot approach to collecting is, and thus how many people on the board have at least 50 cards from each of T210, T212, and N172.
