t206 back type frequency

Tim,

Extemely well said......statistics get skewed, individual collections can influence the scarcity perceptions, and there exists so many more variables...
i beleive real world experience carries the most weight in relative terms....

Tony,

basicically i beleive the middle of the list will always be debated and updated due to future hopeful finds.....

i collect the freaks/printer scrap, but have real world collecting experience(mostly ebay for the last 12 years or so), and have followed "what is availabe" thru ebay searches....although i don't even own a uzit or drum, i have seen more drums for sale than uzits, but who know who has how many tucked away???....a collector who is advanced and not so vocal, could be "hoarding" or "amassing" the rarer backs like lenox, drum and we won't know until they die or they are sold at estate sales!!.....hopefully they won't get buried with them!!! artificial scarcity...



Tim, Jim, Brian , Art M. , Craig, John, Scot, and the rest are really the "braintrust" and do have the most collector experience when it comes to this set and scarcity....their knowledge, experience and passion, combined with the correlating data and statistics, should give us a better understanding of the rarirty....i have just started to focus collecting the rarer backs since my cards are tuf 2 find......

my humble knowledge and experience is always up for debate



Peace
