here is an analysis of the rarity of high-grade T205 vs. T206...(from looking at the PSA pop reports).

Total T206's graded: around 80,000
Total T205's graded: around 17,000

For every (4) T206 there is LESS Than (1) T205. so they are at least 4 times as rare.

For high grade:

T206 cards rated 7 and above - 6739
T205 cards rated 7 and above - 1088

Which makes high grade T205 about 6 times as rare.

Go higher, and you get

T206 8 and above -2642
T205 8 and above - 193

Which makes 8's and above T205's about 14 times as rare.

high-grade T205's are really tuff.


Dave- to answer your question, i bought mine already slabbed. the one time i bought a high-grade T205 raw (it was such a blazer, i thought it was easily an "8"), PSA deemed it trimmed...

leasson learned, stay away from RAW high-grade T205's.
