You have 49 FICO credit scores

"The grand total number of credit scores is truly countless -- so while 49 FICO scores seems like a large number, it's really a drop in the bucket," said Ulzheimer. "The good news is that proper credit management transcends all credit risk scores. If you do the right things, you'll have a good score across the board."

FWIW -- A some of those scores have very little usage in the real world.

 

Maybe some bank or CU is still using a Beacon (Equifax) 96, for example, but I highly doubt it.
