Marc S.Just guessing here, Pete-
But lots of T-206 rare backs are very tough to come by. You do not see Lenox backs on Ebay often. Sometimes with these issues, money is much easier to come by than actual cards. [e.g. he could sell the card for a price - but not likely replace it with another Lenox back for awhile].
As I'm sure many board veterans will tell you - more doors will open card-wise if you have something rarer/desirable to trade than if you walked into the door with a similar amount of cash that would approximate the card's value.
FWIW - Art's a great guy to deal with. I still have a nice Hindu Red that he helped coordinate get for me a few years ago.
