Not individual cards, the total of all cards in the set

What if they once existed, but no longer exist in their original form?

Certainly your objection to my Meadowgold suggestion could be an example here.

Some of the complete bazooka boxes also come to mind as an example here. There were almost definitely more than 50 at one point, but due to getting sliced up and/or tossed out, some years might have less than 50 left today in fully intact form. And don’t get me started on the great flap wars - does it still count as a complete box if the flaps have been removed from one or both sides??!!
