It doesn't matter how long he was with each team or what potential backs may exist. I can tell you that, after collecting T206 for 50 years and handling thousands upon thousands of the cards, the Kleinow, Boston, is decidedly more difficult to find than the New York variety. That view is shared, I believe, by every collector of T206 that I've ever known and every person who has ever written about the set. I wanted to make a comment about the Ty Cobb back. T206 is not one set of cards, it was more a designation of a style of card. That card's style is that of T206 and it has fit nicely into the catalog's designation. If you remove it from T206, then, probably you should divide T206 up according to Series, or brands, or whatever else would be logical. That would really screw everyone's checklists up.
