I guess it's all how you slice it....
Some might say for example , that the two Crandall cards or Leifield would only be included in a "master" set.
By general definition, A basic set should be just one card from each player, not variations. 198 cards this way.
But for T205, I think most would agree that at minimum you would include the alternate poses (examples like Wiltse, Harmon, Barger, Bresnahan etc) in a basic set.
That version leaves the set at 209.
Still, sometimes when the stars are aligned I think the master set is 221 cards but that can certainly be debated
