Another thing to keep in mind is that for T206 in general * HOF and popular players appear to be graded roughly twice as often as a similar common.
* The sample size is a bit too small for me to be comfortable extending this to the harder backs since harder backs should also be graded more often than easier backs. If you get deep into the pop reports even assuming they're only generally accurate there are some surprises. Like there being roughly equal numbers of Magie compared to Magee. And a small handful of cards that are tougher with common backs than "tough" backs.
