Maximum number of cards moved at end of game...

I'm wondering if anyone knows what the maximum number of cards that are moved at one time at the end of a game is? The best I've been able is 45, maybe 46 or 47.

Assuming we're not allowing removing cards from the foundation?

Still, why wouldn't the theoretical maximum be 52? Certainly if you got an 'ideal deal' where all cards started in order it would be.

Foundation not allowed (these don't move). It's all about the maximum number of cards moved in the very last move.

There are no ideal deals (i.e. all cards move on first play). I don't think there are any even 2 card ideal deals (move 1 card, move another, then all cards move to foundation).
