What's the largest card set?

Blackborder

1972 Topps baseball is 787 cards which is to my knowledge the largest numbered card set up to that time. I'm not too familiar with modern card sets. Did any numbered sets surpass that?

Topps Total around 2000 had well over 1000 cards.

1989 Upper Deck has 800 cards in the set.

Starting in 1982 I believe there were 792.2002 Topps Total had 990 cards

The 1999 Topps Tek set "teknically" (sorry...) had 2,700 cards in the set if you were going for a master set.

There were 45 players featured in a home and away jersey for a total of 90 cards. However, each card had 30 different design patterns.

I did a search and came across this story from last week. As of February 5, there will be a new king:

The Upper Deck Company will soon be unveiling what it calls "the largest baseball trading card set ever produced."

The Yankee Stadium Legacy set, a 6,500-card compilation chronicling every single game ever played at the famous “House That Ruth Built,” will begin its official debut through inserts in the company’s 2008 Series 1 Baseball, scheduled to hit store shelves on February 5.

What do you bet it's a crap set like the 2007 SPx Ripken 1 of 1's. 100 different cards, but they made them 1/1's by putting a little box score sticker on the front for each of Cal's 2632 streak games. They even copped out in the base 100 cards by recycling images throughout, couldn't even come up with 100 different pics.
