If you get ahold of an exmt or better T207, there are no cards better, they are beautiful IMHO.

As far as the brown ink backed T207s, I have one also in my set as a "type" but unfortunately their value is not correspondingly great because of a lack of demand. The same can be said of the blank backed T207s which are rather scarce but their value isn't what you would think. I have a few of these as "types" also. Finally even the "wrong back" T207s don't carry the kind of sticker price you would think for cards that border on rare. Maybe some day...
I love T207s for their basic brown designs. The brown backs are scarce but as mentioned the demand isn't too great hence values aren't affected too much, generally speaking. We need to rename them T206 and they would be all the rage.
