T205 vs t206

[t206blogcom]

While both sets have their fair share of top notch hall of famers and stars, multiple backs, variations and rarities, I don't think there's a question, at least in my mind, that the T206 Monster is by far the most iconic set of cards of all time. T206s are more popular and more well known throughout the hobby and I never see that changing.

Personally, I've never thought much of the T205s. I don't like a lot of the designs, with balls and bats encircling players' floating heads. And even worse are the gold borders, which don't look good unless the card is NM or better. And despite my lack of love, I've considered putting together a Hall of Fame T205 run just for the hell of it.

I like the fronts to low grade t206 better than low grade fronts of t205
In high grade I like the fronts of t205 over the fronts of high grade t206

The backs in any condition are so much better on a t205. The stats and bio are great, plus for the various back chasers t205 has a variety.

T205 also has a chance of being completed with the Hoblitzell No Stats has at least a chance of being obtained over the Wagner. Or if you are a fronts only collector there are Hoblitzells that are obtainable 1% of the cost of the no stats back. Making the front set very obtainable.
