To give a scope of the problem.
Proudly presenting the list of my current Lager Collection brewed during the October 2022 - March 2023 Lagering season:
Historical recreations:

- Historical Dunklesbier of 1872
- Historical Salvatorbier Doppelbock of 1854
Modern German clones:

Czech beers:

- Bohemian Bernsteinbier (better known as Czech Polotmave), a personal take on the style
- Moravian Dark Lager, a personal take on the style
Danish clones:
- Carlsberg Hof clone (the old recipe, with Dextrose)

Baltic clones:

From the scientific point of view, this is a carefully selected and a perfectly representative array of Lagers.
In practical terms, it's above 260 bottles for a single guy who limits himself to no more than 2 bottles per day and no less than 2 alcohol-free days per week. Not counting here the most recent Danish Low-Alcohol and the English Mild&Bitter Collections, which came out pretty sizeable as well.
Which means, no new brewing sessions for me anytime soon
