I guess because this part of his question wasn't addressed in the first thread.
I've been collecting T206, including backs for 15 years. I think that the backs have held their value, and mostly gone up. But as Ryan said, the front makes a difference as well. But as investments, they should continue to hold their value. T206 remains the most popular set, and I see no reason for that to change.
As an example of the front mattering: I bought a Howell/ Lenox PSA 3 in 2004. If I sold it today I would get roughly double what I paid. I also bought a red Cobb/ Lenox PSA 2 in 2009. Today I could sell it for about five times what I paid for it. It's gone up more because it's a Cobb.
I can't tell you which cards will be hot next, but the rarest backs do seem to only go up.
