OK Here's my question!

That's a good question.....and, here is my answer.

I will qualify my above two numbers. First, my "Consolidated...." thread accounts for every T206 back (American Beauty - UZIT), except
for these 2.... Sweet Caporal sub-sets (Factory #25 and #42) cards. The Sweet Caporal, Factory #25 subset accounts for another 480
cards (approx.). And, the Sweet Caporal, Factory #42 sub-set accounts for another 60 cards (approx.). Therefore, the new total = 4996
(4312 + 624 + 60) cards.

I posted a thread 2 years ago regarding a "master set" estimate; and, at that time the number resulted in 5136 (given the information we
had in 2009). Here is a link to that thread......

Since then, I would say a better estimate may be anywhere from 5200 > 5500 front/back T206 permutations. Furthermore, recently there
have been some more finds (DRUM, LENOX, UZIT, etc.) that have trickled in new T206's. In any event, this subject matter will continue to
be a work in progress for a long time.
