Tobacco Cards, and Printing Quality Comparisons

[Lobo Aullando]

Probably going to be split opinions on this, and it's a legit split.

The single-player card will always have higher demand, just generally, and T205s do have a good following. That said, there might be some room for growth in T202s, but I think of that as more that they haven't caught up to the two most mainstream sets.* Short-run vs long-run, acute vs chronic...

Looks like there's some options up on eBay now. Would you recommend one over the other, or should I save for the T205 instead? Not that I plan to flip, but which would be the better investment?

Appreciate the input!
