Kindly provide some specific rationale for the part of your opinion that I have emboldened. Personally, I believe there are easily as many rare T cards as there are rare E cards. Just off the top of my head and based on many years of collecting type cards, but without doing any detailed research, I believe that the rarity of the T cards in the following sets (listed in ACC # sequence) compares favorably with the rarity of the E cards from any sets you care to nominate:
T4 Obak cabinets - T5 Pinkerton cabinets - T204 T.T.T. - T208 Cullivan's Fireside - T213-1 Coupon - T213-3 Coupon - T214 Victory - T215-1 Red Cross - T215-2 Red Cross - T216 Kotton Cigs - T216 Kotton Tobacco - T216 Mino - T216 Virginia Extra - T217 Mono - T231 FANS - T-Unc. Derby Cigars - T-Unc. Plow Boy - and T-Unc. Old Mill cabinets (wrongly cataloged as H801-7, IMHO).
Please note that I didn't even include in the above list the rare cards from the following very popular T sets that most pre-War collectors are familiar with: T205 Drum & Hindu - T206 Uzit, Drum, Lenox, Red Hindu, Broad Leaf 460, etc. - T207 Red Cross - and T-Unc. Ty Cobb with the Cobb back.
I rest my case!
