Yes and perhaps we should add “back pocket” materials as well to the page count
Ha, interesting.
126 + (110 * 2) + (115 * 2) = 576.
Eh! Not bad.
I'd be curious to hear what the highest number of versions people have gotten to on decks/models. I'm currently on v207 of a model.

Wow not envious of that deal team!
8 + (65 x 2) + (15x2) = 168.
This is what working in sales is like.
224 + (100 x 2) + (200 x 2) = 824
This is in PE though.
Winner winner
