T206 Action Poses > T205 > T206 Portraits, on fronts only.

T205 takes it due to the backs, they are a lot more fun than the T206's that are just the ads. You can still the back variation hunting with T205, but you get a little bit of information too.

I feel that the T205's are, especially when decently preserved, just stunning. There are a few T206's that can really blow me away, but not the entire set.

If I were into collecting back variations I'd probably prefer T206. But I'm not so I like T205's more.

Being a portrait collector, its not even close in my opinion.

T206 by a landslide!

Tough choice. I do like the biographical info on the back of T205's. But the T206's have such an allure to me, especially the portraits. I'll go with a split decision win for the T206.

I appreciate and really like T205's...but IMO, nothing holds a candle to T206...

I have always preferred the T205's over the T206's, especially when I was buying them. I especially like having the biography on the back of the card.

Default T2…

O5 for me.
I have never started the T206 but have some HOFers.
I have close to two base sets of T205 one of which is most of a master set.
I guess that means I like the gold borders best.
