I'm not a T206 collector so forgive me if this has been discussed in other threads. I thought 524 was the accepted number of cards for the T206 set. However, reading an article about the T206 Wagner currently being auctioned by Goldin, it says that there is some controversy about the total number for the set and that Ken Goldin puts it at 523 (link below but article is probably paywalled). Here's the quote - "The T206 set gets its name, which denotes it is tobacco card set No. 206, from Jefferson Burdick’s 1939 book “The American Card Catalog.” It has 523 or 524 subjects (a topic of some controversy, though Goldin says the number is 523)."

There is also a link in the article to an article on prewarcards.com that lists possibilities for 525, 524 and 522 for the total number of cards in the set. 523 is not listed as an option.

So what is considered to be the accepted number of cards in the T206 set? Is it 524? If it's 523, what one card is not included?
