I collect T206 backs, but I put most of my rare backs together 5-10 years ago.
Frankly, a 520 card T206 "set" is fairly easy to do. If you have the money, you could probably put together that sort of set in a week or two. The backs provide a differentiating factor that brings rarity to the equation in a way that the fronts do not.
Unless one of the uber back collectors decides to sell off, I don't see any reason that valuations will decline. Even the finds of Uzit and Drums over the past three or four years have done nothing to diminish the rise in prices. If anything, you can argue that greater accessibility helped foster greater demand.
