T-206 cards are somewhat confusing. These cards were put out over three years (1909-1911), so some players have more than one card, set apart by new teams or new poses.
On top of that, the backs of the cards are different based on what company put them out and what printing.
Some of the larger sets include Sweet Caporal and Piedmont, which you will see most commonly.
A complete T206 set is assumed to be 524 cards, but within that there is tremendous variation based on what player pose or card back.
That being the case, some collectors just try to get all the Hall of Famers, others collect card backs--trying to get cards from just one tobacco company, and others try to get as many individual players as possible.
Here is a list from T206 Resource of the tobacco companies.
