As I've said before the moniker of "The Monster" was given to the T206 set due to it's thousands of possible front/back combinations. A true master set given unlimited resources would be impossible to complete.
If you want to look simply at the 524 card set without regard to the backs there are more posts in this thread than there are 524 card T206 sets.
I understand that a majority of people don't expect to complete the set of 524 and that most set their collecting goals at 518, 520 or 522, but this reduction while reasonable does not make a complete set or reduce it's difficulty.
There are many sets that are scarcer or rival T206 in numbers and variations, but none that come close IMO to it's popularity, availability and size, combined with it's difficulty in completing whether a basic or master set.
