I collect the different T206 (and T205) backs, because they tell the history of the sets, as well as show how the cards were issued. I have the 520 card short-set of T206, and just picked up my 100th T205, and collecting the backs just seems to be a logical extension of the sets. I want at least one of each different back, but I don't really care about specific front/back combos.
So far, I have all the T206 backs except Broadleaf, Carolina Brights, Drum, Lenox and Uzit, and the T205 backs except Broadleaf and Drum. I'm also looking for Coupon (series 1), Red Cross (series 1) and Victory backs (and if I'm really lucky, a Pirate back).
Steve
