Default T207's

T207's seem to have a laminate 'glaze' over the front of the card. It doesn't hold up very well, being prone to crazing and cracking. Handling T206's, it seems like T206's have more 'give' to them. A T207 is more likely to wrinkle, and the corners/edges more likely to chip, IMO. Thus EX or better examples are scarce.

Marc, the comparison to T213-2 is interesting because they seem to have the same type of 'glaze' on the fronts.

T207's are also somewhat of a 'ugly stepchild' to T206's. After millions of colorful T206's and E cards were in the hands of the public, then these darker T207's were released. I suspect they were not well received at the time. I've grown to love them, though.
