Rarity of T205 Drum Backs

[Prince Hal]

I'm just starting to collect different T205 backs. Are the Drum backs exceedingly rare? There is only 1 on eBay now and its a SGC 10 common and the guy is asking almost $1,300.

Lots of good info in some older threads

Great info, thanks!

The Hindus are more rare. The Drums are more expensive. To the best of my knowledge here is the only Hindu hall of famer and the highest graded Drum hall of famer....excuse the Cobby...and of course I have shown this many times but it fits here too....(if you see a Hindu, nab it...it could be years between seeing the next one)

Then why would the Drums be more expensive? T206 perception carryover?

just an FYI - since the question was regarding t205 backs - there is also a more rare back than the drum and the hindu, there is a blank back as well

True but as far as we know the blanks weren't inserted into packs....
