If only I could turn back time…
Therein lies the conundrum. The market for T205s just doesn't exist in the same universe as T206. T206s are much much more populous and available, and they command better prices across the board than T205s. The demand/desire for T206 is why T205 prices arent close. I've picked up a bunch of American Beauty/Cycle/P42 backs for between $20-30. That would be unheard of for T206. I wonder at some point if T205s will gain in popularity, but I have my doubts, even though I think the set is majestic and incredible.
