RichardI don't know about the 200:1 ratio between t206 vs. e90, but I am sure that there are many issues where that ratio is accurate. I have seen about a couple dozen E90 cobbs offered in a year, and there could be a couple dozen T206 red portrait Cobbs on ebay any given week. And E90-1 is a "common" caramel issue.
I started by collecting T206s, like every other prewar newbee. But I have since sold every T206 that I had to fund "other stuff."
