In my experience, most Type 2s are not particularly rare (certainly rarer than T206 common back examples, however). Given this fact and the fact that it is a later-released set, I dont know why they would sell for a premium, unless T206s have gotten so expensive that people are looking to Type 2s as a way to get a more affordable T206 image of a player they want.
Hi Ryan,

I think quite a few of the type 2s are fairly scarce actually. Sure, you can find a type 2 example easily enough, but looking for a specific card can be daunting in many cases. Of course I could be wrong, but I always thought even the type 2s were scarce overall. They just don't get the respect they deserve.

Also, like Peter said, all the team variations make the type 2s very cool. It's one of the few sets that you can find Federal League teams represented. Now that's awesome.
