Joshua Levine has been collecting and studying t205's for years now, and his knowledge of the set probably far exceeds Steven Hawking's and Ron Jeremy's COMBINED knowledge of black holes and milky ways. Tbob is an ebay mastermind, a buying and selling machine. He sees the last 5 years of completed auction information in his mind as binary code, and can cross-reference and analyze every tidbit of that information simultaneously with the greatest of ease.

OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating ever so slightly , but the fact remains that the resident t205 experts, Joshua and Tbob, both say that the Joss is rare, or at least a very difficult card to acquire. I am inclined to agree with them.

I think the crux of this difference in opinion is that Joss is rare/tough in relation to the rest of the cards in the t205 set. But, when comparing it to a Yum Yum or an e107, a T205 Joss seems almost easy to acquire. Moral of the story: rarity is a relative term, and something like a t205 Joss is rare only in particulars context and not in others.
