Agreed. Best you can do is make some general assumptions, but that’s only a start. Some combos are super difficult, and thus more expensive; especially when multiple people are chasing the same back set. The popularity of certain backs wax and wane; for example, I feel like polar bears are hot and EPDG a bit cool right now, but EPDG used to be the bees’ knees. Then, for backs like Sovereign and cycle, you have different series (of course you have that too with Piedmont and Sweet Cap plus factory numbers).
T206 is such a beast it’s called the monster. It’s much too difficult to make firm rules about the value of any back, other than maybe putting them in groupings and these are the two top groups/classes, and In a place above the rest
Most valuable
Brown Old Mill
Brown Lenox
Broadleaf 460
Drum
Uzit
Second tier
Black Lenox
Red Hindu
Broadleaf 350
Carolina Brights
I would also include blank backs, t213-1 and t215-1, but the latter two may be fighting words to some the board.
