? for type collectors

What is the best estimate as to the number of type cards you would own if you could obtain one card of each issue from 19th century to 1939?

Cataloged or uncatalogued or both? Variations?

My goal impossible is to match Leon's fantastic 1900 - 1949 type-card collection plus 19th Century and 1950 - 1975 type cards. I prefer for my type cards to be Washington players, especially W. Johnson and/or S. Rice, or at least players who spent some part of their careers with Washington. Most of my collection is raw, and most of my vintage type cards are in lesser condition (F - VGEX). I accept that there are some type cards that I will never acquire due to their cost, unless I happen to win the lottery. For me, it's a fun marathon!

I suppose there is no way to answer the question if you include every possible variation.

I started with the major issues like T206, Goudey, etc...and in the beginning was trying to get a HOF player and/or key card.....but now I just focus on getting type issue that I personally like or appeal to me. That's the cool thing about type collecting...you can morph your personal preference...but in the end...you are still a "type" collector!
