Very helpful reflections,T206 scholars.

With Lee, I do believe that there is a need to make some adjustments to
the 206 backs scarcity order. With JimB and others, I would like to see
further delineation of Allen's research. This would help tremendously in our
endeavors.(Any leads,JimB?) Similarly, we, ourselves, do need to contribute to Bill's data
regarding the total # of cards we have for each back and need to provide
him with our ONGOING data. Fortunately, Bill is eager to keep tabs on this
even on a weekly basis.
I do want to underscore other 'tributaries' which have already come to light
on this thread which are providing new foci as we do our research. Lee's point that the research is indicating that not all cards exist with each possible back accompanied by Brian's belief that T206's were not distributed
as a set, but by brand,such that many 'possible' front/back combinations
simply DON'T exist ARE very important early steps in our reenvisioning of the
T206 Backs Landscape as a whole.
Continuing the super set,checking out Allen's research,and posing these issues/questions in a systematic way via this forum are MUSTS methinks.

p.s. also Joe's point re: prices of various brands may prove to be quite
illuminative for our purposes.

all the best,

Barry
