Hi Kevin

In the overall population of these three Chance cards, the Chance (yellow portrait) cards were printed with some very tough backs (BROAD LEAF 350, 1910 COUPON,
red HINDU, LENOX, SOVEREIGN 460, etc.), which of course affect the price of this Chance.

And, as Scot said....."the Yellow Portrait is a great looking card".

Furthermore, I've been selling T206's since 1982, and my experience indicates the yellow portrait Chance is certainly more popular than the other two Chance cards.

I have a sizeable run of backs of this Chance, my favorite is this one......
