Answer:

25/26 or 26/27 depending on free hands.

The first is if you don't use jokers/free cards

There is 13 cards in a single set, and a single 10 card.

Two sets are black and two sets a red.

Hearts, Spades, Clubs, and Diamonds

There is only 2 black tens out of 52 or 54 cards, so we can set it up as

50/52 or 52/54 which is simplified to

25/26 or 26/27 depending on free hands.
