The first time around I just collected the fronts. This time if I pick up a duplicate front with a different back I keep it. Same for T205. Down the road I would consider paying for a missing back but not right now.
I do think backs are a viable collectible. My biggest pet peeve ever in the hobby goes back over 30 years now. Why in the world is a rookie card any more valuable than a second year card or a tenth year card? Never has made any sense to me, it always appeared to be a reason for everyone to go out and buy the new price guide each month.
