Someone trying for all (or a bunch) of Sovereign, Polar Bear, or American Beauty backs would have a collection that may well be skewed the other direction.
If I'm looking for a T206 of Chief Bender, no trees... do I let go of $50k or more to buy that card with a Drum back, or I get one for $400 to $500 for a common back. I don't need long to think that through.
The rest of what you say seems about right! Interesting poll, thanks for getting it started!!

Thanks Frank. And my third paragraph was just meant to be theoretical...as if all us had never flipped over our T206 cards until right now to discover what tobacco brand was on the back. That is why I think we will find the results/comments interesting, what folks have focused on/based their purchases/just fell their way when compiling the T206 collections in regards to the backs.
