Having completed the T205 set card by card, I found the Rowan, Joss and Fisher to be the three toughest non-Hoblitzell cards. Hobby no stats is the toughest variation and the Hoblitzell "no Cin" "named spelled correctly on the back" is the 2nd toughest although a few would argue Hoblitzell "with one L on the back" is slightly tougher. I respectfully disagree and I believe I am in the majority. There is also a split between the Hindu and Drum camps for which is the toughest back. As recognized an authority as Lew Lipset believes it is Hindu and I agree. Probably more T205 collectors believe the Drum is tougher, I would say it is 65-35% favoring the Drum. I think the Drum back benefits from its rarity in the T206 series on this question.
