What would you consider the "tiers" of T206 HOFers if you had to group them by perceived demand. Let's look at it from the standpoint of players (not poses/variations) and exclude the super rarities (e.g. Wagner, Plank, etc..). My initial thought is:

Tier 1 - Ty Cobb
Tier 2 - Walter Johnson, Cy Young
Tier 3 - Mathewson, Speaker
Tier 4 - Lajoie, E. Collins
Tier 5 - M. Brown, E. Walsh, A. Joss, W. Keeler, Z. Wheat, J. Chesbro
Tier 6 - S. Crawford, C. Bender, J. Tinker, J. Evers, F. Chance
Tier 7 - Everyone else

I realize the portraits skew everything a bit. A portrait Lajoie could be considered Tier 3 or a Mathewson portrait in Tier 2. But, if we're just looking at the players and the current conditions, where am I off?

Where is John McGraw? He has 4 cards in the set second only to Hal Chase....
