They're both common and readily available.

Default T206 descriptive slang

I lean toward the Sweet Caporal just because Piedmont 350 cards are like a hoard running roughshod over Monster land.

Though they're both about as common as ......... well people getting worked up over politics.

I'd prefer the Piedmont. I just like the way Piedmont looks. Sweet Caporal are the ugliest backs in the set to me.

Are they both red Cobbs in a 3? If so, I'd go with the Piedmont. Not diamond-cut (the one aesthetic thing that will turn me off on a t206), and lower population.

If only the Sweet Cap is a Cobbie, I'd go with that one.
