1972 Topps was a basic major league set with 787 cards. Maybe that's the one you're looking for with this question.

But then, for master set collectors, this one has tens of thousands of cards. Does this count?

1992 score had 910 cards. I believe that is the largest regular issue set.

I think the Topps Total Baseball sets were short of that at 880 to 900 in the early 2000s....2002-2004. The base sets for those years were smaller

This set has 6,742 consecutively numbered cards, one for each game at the original Yankee Stadium. I think they did a major redemption for the first person to put together a complete set, since this "insert set" was inserted into multiple 2008 Upper Deck products.

2008 Upper Deck Documentary has almost 5,000 cards just for the 2008 season.

Yeah, I was thinking regular issue sets not even thinking/knowing about/considering anything else.

Either way, 910 cards is a lot of cards to collect pack by pack! I can imagine those that collecting the 52 Topps set found it quite daunting, so I can't imagine someone having to collect over twice that amount!

Thanks for the info guys!

Well, remember in the 90s most stores sold 45-count rack packs. We didn't have to rely on 1 and 5 cent packs with 1 or 5 cards in it.

When I was collecting back in the 90's, I don't recall those rack packs up here in Canada, but maybe they were available and I just didn't paid attention to them?

Having 45 in a rack pack would definitely make things easier, that's for sure!

Biggest set out there could mean many things. I think the largest topps set was 93, 825 cards. The 08 UD yankee legacy set has thousands of cards, the first person to complete it won a trip to meet derek jeter.

You don't consider 2008 UD Documentary to be a regular issue set? I wasn't collecting back in that timeframe, but figure it was kind of like buying cards in the 50s and 60s with different series of cards.
