My best educated estimate at this time would be between 5400 and 5500.

There was an article in Beckett Vintage Sept. 2002 that put it at 7000. Not sure how accurate that number truly is though. The article was written by Doug Allen.

I would tend to agree with Tim.... 5400-5500 is about right..... I think we will have a really good number in the next 2-3 years...

Be well Brian

Bill Browns Super Set Spreadsheet puts it at 6687 (if I'm reading it correctly) as of April 2010

Hi Tony, I believe that the 6600 number is a theoretical/possible number and not an actual confirmed count.

I'm relatively new to this (2 years). I've read most of the t206 threads in the last 2 years and admittedly haven't wrapped my head totally around many of them. But, isn't the theoretical number what Bill was asking?


Also, Ted are all of the NO-PRINTS considered no-prints only because they haven't been found (yet) or are there other tangible reasons that they are considered theoretical possibilities, yet were in fact never printed?

The theoretical permutations of The Monster might be as high as 7000; however, when you consider the the numerous NO-PRINTS
associated with each of the tobacco brands......5000 to 5500 cards realistically make up a master set.

Here are some examples......

AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 theoretically could include 103 cards....but, only 75 were printed.

BROAD LEAF 460 theoretically could include 63 cards....however, only 27 have been confirmed to date (and there is a good likelihood
that most of the remaining cards are NO-PRINTS).

RED HINDU theoretically could include 109 cards....but, only 40 have been confirmed to date (and there is a good likelihood that most
of the remaining cards are NO-PRINTS).

An entire SOVEREIGN sub-set theoretically could include 470 cards......however, only 402 different subjects make up this sub-set (68
subjects are NO-PRINTS).

You can go thru each of the T206 brands and there will be varying numbers of NO-PRINTS.

The PIEDMONT brand is the only T206 brand in which all 522 subjects were printed.
