Josh,
I was saying that I think there are 100-200x as many of any T206 as there are E94s. Since I estimated the numbers of E94s at 50-75, the total for T206s would be 5,000-7,500.
That is in the ballpark of Scot's T206 population estimates.

I just did a quick ebay survey to get a sense of things. There are currently 34 T206 Cobbs and 24 T206 Youngs available. There are no E94 Cobbs or Youngs in any color. One could argue that individual T206 poses should be considered separately, but the same argument could be made for E94 colors. There are still 11 T206 Red portrait Cobbs available now and no Cobb E94s of any color. I would be willing to bet that the ratio of available red portrait Cobbs on ebay outnumbers E94 Cobb availability by 100:1 at least over the course of any given 3 month period. And though it is not science, I think this is generally indicative of their relative populations.
