Yes.
For many reasons, it's the greatest set ever. It can be collected so many different ways- HOFers, rare backs, teams, SLers, errors/misprints, etc. The artwork is amazing, and the mystery & nostalgia behind many of the cards is unparalleled. It continues to become even more popular, if that's possible. I know there are tons of them out there, but it's all about supply & demand. yes, in most cases there's plenty of supply of T206's, BUT the demand is at an all-time high, so in many cases, demand outweighs supply, plus a whole new breed of T206 collectors, makes for tough competition in auctions, all resulting in super high prices.
I think it's interesting what's happened with rare back prices. the shortage of ultra rare stuff (BL 460, Drum, Uzit, etc) has caused mid-tier rare backs to jump up in price. Now that the mid-tier rare backs (EPDG, Cycle 460, AB, etc) have jumped, it has reset the bar for the ultra rare backs.
Glad i got my backs when i did.
Good luck!
