Default T205 Broad Leaf's

How rare is this back? I've never seen one pop up on eBay yet I've heard despite being tough they are just slightly above AB Black and P42's. Is someone hoarding these or are they much tougher (in the Hindu and Drum league)? Also, what type of pricing should one expect on a common in G-VG condition?

Default T205 BROAD LEAF cards

The BROAD LEAF T205's are considerably tougher than AB Black and P42's. But, not in the same league as DRUM and HINDU.

At one time, the Hindu, Drum and Broadleaf were all considered to be of equality rarity. However time has shown the Hindu the be the toughest followed by the Drum and then the Broadleaf which comes in both black and olive green, both of which are about equal in numbers.

The Hindu's did have a small find a few years ago(10-12?) and the Drums have had two significant finds, but in both cases the cards were lesser condition due to trimming and recoloring, so finding a legit nice one is still tough.

Obviously the number or lack thereof, of players which come with these backs, makes finding one tougher and the few that are found are held longer by collectors.

If you think T206 backs are tough, these T205 backs are several multiples more difficult to find.
