Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>Maybe this is Tobacco 101, but is there a resource similar to the t206 museum web site, that explains the scarcity of the various tobacco companies on the back of the T205 cards, or is it the same as the T206s?

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Here's the approximate multipliers I follow for t205 backs:<br /><br /> 1. Drum 20-25x<br /> 2. Hindu 10-12x<br /> 3. Broadleaf 5-6x<br /> 4. Cycle 2x<br /> 5. American beauty 2x<br /> 6. Polar Bear 30%<br /> 7. Sovereign 30%<br /> 8. Honest long cut 30%<br /> 9. Hassan 30%<br /> 10. Sweet Caporal<br /> 11. Piedmont<br /> <br />Of course, this stuff is not an exact science, but I think this list is fairly accurate. More often than not, cards from 6-9 on the list won't sell for any premium at all, however it should be mentioned that those backs are somewhat less common that SC and Piedmont. <br />
