The T206 market is pretty efficient. It's one thing I enjoy about it. Centered cards sell much higher than off-center for the same grade. Check out a full sized card vs a card that is smaller in the same grade and you'll see a price difference.
Is the smaller card trimmed or factory cut smaller? Don't know, but the market discounts the price of smaller or off-center cards. Cards that are full sized and centered get a premium price. Makes sense to me.
I hope more people discover what a gem the T206 set is and join in. I think they will. If that pushes prices up, so be it. I'm happy to see innovation in the industry and more people join.
