I'm sure if the original smokers put their T206s in penny sleeves right away, just like today's collectors do with modern cards, T206s in Gem Mint 10 condition would not be as rare, and as expensive, as they are today. Remember, one of the reasons the vintage stuff in excellent condition is so rare is BECAUSE nobody saw a need to keep them in pristine shape.
