The obvious answer is 6.
Actually while they look similar, they were distributed in different places by different makers and are completely distinct issues. The stock is slightly different with the Obaks having a little more sheen. The obaks have players from the west coast while T206s have players from the east and central US. The T206s include but are not exclusively major leaguers, the T212s are exclusibly players from the Pacific Coast League (none of which are included in the T206 issue). There are also font variations between the T206 and T212s...in other words, while they are somewhat visually similar, they are completely distinct.

Don't the Obak set include players from the North West League (NWL) as well as from the PCL?

Thanks for the info everyone. What's the demand on T212s?
Andy, it is purple stamped. Do you collect T212s?

T212s are popular both because they are such beautiful cards and because there are PCL and NWL collectors. Although there are some major leaguers who started in the PCL, like Buck Weaver, most of the players are not well known to non-specialists. THe lack of major leaguers and particularly HOFs probably limits popularity, especially relative to T206s, but they are definitely great cards and in my opinion, some of the best looking cards from the era.
