T205 rare backs are degrees tougher than t206. Only a handful of Drum and Hindu backs come up for sale every few years. Drum is scarce but Hindu is tougher (due to a find of Drums in the St. Louis area a few years back---and then, not even that many were found...less than 20 total).
If you search the forum's past posts, you can find a great deal of info. on scarcity and backs.
Leon is dead right with pricing currently but every now and then a "bargain" might be had away from ebay. Just have to keep checking around.

PS It took me nearly 15 years to find my Drum back.
