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.
