How many T207s make a set ??? variations ???

200 ???? that can't be right, but ....
When ever you see a partial set of T207s auctioned, the title seems always to be "xxx/200" and registries in both PSA and SGC list 200, with no variations needed. How can the variations not be noticed ??? It'd be (at least to me) like saying the T206's only have ~500 cards, "you don't need a Demmitt, O'Hara, Eberfield port., Smith B&C, etc. etc., they're just variations." That wouldn't fly, so why no need for variations in your T207 set ????? (((sadly the answer may be not too may people care)))

But, anyway, I come up with a complete set of T207 having 209 cards:
200 subjects, plus following variations:
1 -- Austin -- with logo on shirt; without logo on shirt.
2 -- Carrigan -- right back; wrong back.
3 -- Davis -- brown C on cap; blue C on cap.
4 -- Fisher -- blue cap; white cap.
5 -- Irv Lewis -- with logo on sleeve, without logo on sleeve.
6 -- Livingston -- Big A on shirt, big C on shirt, small c on shirt.
7 -- Mullin -- with D on cap; without D on cap.
8 -- Wagner -- right back; wrong back.

Nothing new at all, straight out of the book, any checklist you want.
200 + 9 = 209. Just seems to be common sense.
Some may argue for 208, being either Lewis is so tough, one would be enough for completion.

Also would anyone like to comment on rarity between variations. Book "price-wise," they all seem to be comparable to their counterpart (i.e. Austin with vs. Austin without). Price exceptions being either Lewis card, both very scarce, and big A & C Livingston noticeably higher than the seemingly common small c.

Personally (collection at 91/209) I can compare the following:
1 -- both Austin's which I paid similar for both.
4 -- both Fisher's which I paid similar for both.
6 -- Livingston, big A and big C, which I paid similar for both.

Also Davis, brown C, and Mullin, no D.
Neither Carrigan, Wagner, nor Lewis () .....

So in simple terms, how many in your set, and thoughts on variations ......
