Default I just realized why T206s are so popular with newbies...

Okay, my generation is all about instant gratification. One of the many reasons T206s are so "addictive" (assuming said collector values prewar in the 1st place) is that there are so many cards available with so many different backs, in various conditions, etc. Therefore everyday on eBay you can do a search and see some new possibilities to add to your pc...

Now, as much as I like the look of the T204, Turkey Reds, Old Judges, and more-- patience is a virtue. You could wait several days without a new listing...Generation X'ers just don't have that tortoise-like mindset to wait around for them.

Food for thought to compare how generational differences might make T206 collecting more appealing to newbies. (Note: I'm NOT looking to turn this conversation into other reasons why T206s are popular)
