The answer to Leon's question is yes and no. Too rare for own good needs to be defined further. If you are talking about value, I say no or not necessarily. If you say too rare for their own good as a collectible, then possibly b/c as many have mentioned, there is no buzz, it's not talked about, and there may be little to no interest.
I suppose what makes T206 so great is the perfect storm of all the elements needed to make this set a truly great collectible, but again - define good. If we are talking about value, then the answer is no/not necessarily, but if we are talking about as a collectible in the hobby, then perhaps.
My 2 cents...
Here is a set that is dangerously close to Too rare for their own good, but may make the cut as the set is big enough, and they are not impossible, and they are most likely a T206 with Thin paper.
